WHAT IS THE SELLER THINKING?
If you are about to sell your property, what are you going to do to make it the best of all possible choices that the potential home buyer has? When you have a garage sale what do you do? You prepare everything to bring in the optimum price. You wash, you dust, you arrange, you present, you neatenize YOU ARE SERIOUS! When you get ready to sell furniture, or your car what are the steps you go through? Why would you take a chance on the largest investment you have and not apply those very same principles to selling a home. If you want to be a seller instead of a dweller market all the potential of your property through home staging.
Staging www.stagerightstaging.com is presenting to sell. You should hire a professional stager but at the very least try to stage the property yourself and do it as best you can through objectivity. For example: Those marks on the door casings charting little Johnny's growth progress mean a lot TO YOU, they do not mean anything to anyone else. You need to paint those marks away. If that is difficult for you try this: purchase some long poster board, trace the marks on the door casings onto the poster board. Purchase an inexpensive poster frame and now you have, for all eternity, that growth chart. Does this make you a little sad? Maybe, but will you be more sad if you don't receive any offers on your property?
The most activity on a new listing is in the first 3 weeks after it hits the market. If your property is not staged or showcase ready and has activity but no offers during that time period, go to plan B. No offers means something is holding the potential buyer back from buying your property. Find out what the feedback is. Don't take these comments personally, take action, make some changes. Think about hiring a professional stager www.stagerightstaging.com to give you at the least a consultation.
The most desired approach to preparing your property for sale is through either a staging consultation or actual staging BEFORE it is on the market, but if you didn't do this, DON'T WAIT! Remember, if there was interest in the beginning and there were no offers, something wasn't right. How how do you get those prospects back in the door? You may never get them to come back, but at least going forward you are properly marketing your property through the proven techniques of .
home staging.
