Have you sold your house? Are you trying to sell your house? Or did you find your dream home and are ready to move on from the home you own now? This post will help you figure out how to get your house perfect and ready to sell.

Everyone will run into one of the scenarios I listed above at some point. Selling a house can be stressful, but it doesn’t always have to be.

If you are looking to sell your home right now take a thorough walk through. First, remember all the amazing memories you’ve made in that home. Second, begin to think of things in your house that you might think are great, but does the market? That’s where staging comes in handy. Staging looks to make your house “perfect” and more aesthetically pleasing which will help sell your home faster and increase the value simply based on looks.

How do we stage and what are some tips?

How to get your home perfect and ready to sell

Home Staging Tips

Staging your home can increase your sale price up to seven percent according to HGTV. Evaluating every room is very important to make sure each room is up to its full potential.

Paint Color is Key

Rooms can look bigger if you paint your room the same color as the room next to it. This will make the rooms feel as they are one big space which gives the illusion of a bigger room.

Never Overcrowd a Room

Overcrowding a room is one of the worst things that you can possibly do. Putting large furniture in a small room will make the room seem very small. Shelves are a decent way to make a room have the illusion of more depth.

Recycle to Save Money

Recycle your old materials is a great way to save money and give a unique look to your home. Old strips of hardwood flooring can be reused to create furniture and old chairs can always be refurbished.

Make Bedrooms Feel Relaxing

Create bedrooms that feel relaxing. Using luxurious linens that have softer colors can help make potential buyers feel more at home.

These tips can help get your house perfect and ready to sell. If you need help staging your home don’t hesitate to give us a call. We would love to help get your house perfect and ready to sell. Check out our services and contact us today!

You might be curious as to what home staging in Rochester is or why you should even consider it. 10 years ago we started a little home organizing business called Partners in Simplicity. We saw a need for people who were either very unorganized or just didn’t have the time to keep their house neat.

Realtors from both Nothnagle (now Howard Hanna), RE/MAX and even many home owners came to us looking to have their homes decorated/ staged to be put on the market. We decided it would be a smart idea to invest in some furniture that we could use to make houses look more updated and cleaner. From then on we have been home staging in Rochester and have been able to help sell over 200 homes. Yes, you may be wondering “What exactly do home stagers even do?”

Why Should You Stage Your Home?

Have you ever walked into a home that’s messy, unappealing and so cluttered that its impossible to see anything? Staging focuses on the 5 senses and makes sure that your house is at its full potential. Purchasing a home is a large investment, so showing people what a house looks like at its full potential while giving it a very “home” feel is very important.

Stimulus Overload

Staging helps with stimulus overload and making sure buyers can focus on the property instead of being distracted by the mess that an unstaged home might have. A home may have a ton of customized features for the family. The rooms may be all different colors and filled with toys and very worn furniture. A buyer may come in and see a messy house and think this might not be for me. As much as you love the customized features of a home and the memories that the worn out furniture and toys have, will a buyer feel the same way?

Large Investment

Selling or buying a property is one of the biggest investments people make in their life. A home is a product just like any other. It must be visually appealing, smell great and also offer the home owner confidence that they are making the best decision on the market.

The Product

Think about going into a store and seeing two of the exact same product. One of the products has a broken package while the other looks brand new and looks like the store just put it in stock. Would you purchase the one that looks brand new or the one that has a damaged packaged. The damaged package will most likely be marked down in the future, if not already. Buying a home is the same way. Think of the home being a package and making sure your home looks “new” and updated is very important and will give the buyer a higher perception and price value on your property.

The Entrance

A huge factor we take into account when staging is the entrance of your home. When you first step in the door and see the interior of the home for the first time do you get a “I could live here” feel. Staging uses design and conceptualization techniques that will give potential buyers that “I could live here” feel.
