Spend Fewer Days on the Market in San Jose With Home Staging

Before you list your home for sale, consider a proven way to sell your house: professional home staging. Home staging benefits include less time on the market and more offers. If your goal is to sell your home quickly, think about a well thought out approach to home staging.

Home staging is part of preparing your home for sale. Staging concentrates energy on your home's presentation to buyers while showing off the features of your home with strategically placed furniture and artwork so that your home looks more spacious and buyers can envision their lives in your home.

Prepping your home for an Open House doesn't have to be another hurdle in getting your house sold. It can actually be enjoyable. Together, we'll work to get an exceptional bid for your home's sale. Use these home staging pointers to get you started:

Curb Appeal Checklist

Curb appeal is your best chance to make a great first impression on buyers before they step foot into your house. The good and bad features that jump out at buyers form their initial opinion of your home and how you keep up your house's regular maintenance.Understanding this helps us to decide what we can do to attract buyers from the street and into your home. If your home's exterior isn't up to par with touched up paint and bright greenery we'll need to address those issues. Follow the Curb Appeal Checklist and add dollars to your home's final selling price.

Welcome Home Checklist

Could a buyer see themselves lounging in your living space, relaxing in your master bedroom or inviting family and friends over for a dinner in your eat-in kitchen? I want your house to pleasantly accept buyers and give them a sense of contentment. I'll help you achieve this by suggesting changes that enhance your house's features. I'll advise you put in storage anything that gives the illusion of clutter. Counter tops should be clutter-free. Arts and crafts, sentimental items, family photos, and play time drawings should get moved out of sight. I can help you de-clutter your house. Unattractive or busy places make your home feel smaller and buyers have a more difficult time picturing themselves calling your property "home".

I know exactly what a room's best characteristics are and how to show them off. Areas that directly impact your bottom line include easy-to-fix items like furniture pieces that should get removed, rooms that need neutral paint, carpet that needs steaming, fixtures that need replacing, and windows that need cleaning.

Buyers' agents know that their clients like a property that invites them inside. Decor that could be uninviting should be removed so that your home will impress buyers while on the market.

Setting the Stage

I'll tell you when to host an Open House, because all of the changes come together to paint a picture of what buyers can envision when they consider buying your house. Dark rooms can be a real mood killer, so we'll do things like part the curtains and add lighting where needed to show off your property. Together we'll enhance the air of the house with enjoyable music playing lightly and ensure a pleasant scent circulates throughout your home. We'll make use of cozy-looking blankets, and pillows on your couch and bedding. Buyers should feel like your current house is their future home.
