We all know that people often buy a home based upon both logic and emotion.
Emotion is what tends to take buyers beyond logic, it’s the perception in the buyers’ mind that takes them up to, and often beyond, what they were going to pay to buy a particular property or home.
If you are looking to sell your home and photos of your property will appear online or in print you want the first impression to look good, and appeal to the right buyers – remember you only get one chance to do it right!
Home Staging can help to prepare and showcase your home properly for sale, and it is not just for the high-end properties, any property can benefit from quality staging.
So, what exactly does a home stager do, and how can home staging help sell and/or maximise the value of your home?
Home staging is the use of furniture, art, chattels, flowers and accessories to enhance, freshen up, or modernise the look and feel of your home.
This is important because many buyers may not have the imagination of what the home could look like with furniture, or a makeover by a professional interior designer.
Today there is the option of virtual and real staging. And as you can see from the before and after photos there’s a huge difference between an empty room and a beautifully decorated home.
This will impact on the potential sale value of your home, after investing $2-$3,000 it could be as much as $10,000 to $30,000 depending upon the property value.
Your Real Estate agent will help guide you on whether real or virtual staging is required for your home.
