Preparing Your Central Austin Home For Sale
I have never met a home seller who didn't want to net the most money from the sale of their home. Preparing the home for sale is when you earn that money. Doing the right preparations makes the difference between a home that sells for the most money in a particular market, or one that stays on the market longer and yields less money. In a buyers' market, a home with poor preparations may not sell at all.When given the choice between selling for a better price sooner with smart preparations or for a lower price later with no preparations, most people will choose the former. For sellers who are occupying their home and who are prepared to put in the effort, I provide a free staging consultation with a leading local stager as part of my service. I pay for a staging consultant to come out and help you make the changes to get your home in tip top condition. It helps me market your home, and you get the best return.
Central Austin Home Staging
Staging is not the same as interior design. It may involve repainting, but most of it is taking advantage of what is already there. More often than not it's taking away things that detract from the home rather than adding new things. Part of the challenge in an occupied home is to take advantage of existing furniture where possible, and de-clutter. Everything must be spotlessly clean, rooms should make sense and suggest a purpose to prospective buyers and the home should be de-personalized to some extent - you don't want buyers distracted by photos of your family when they should be visualizing their family in the home.
Making your home "move in ready" makes all the difference - and I can show you how.
Contact me about selling your home and I'll tell you more about our approach, and how to get a stager to come to your home and give you tried and tested advice on home preparations.
