When it comes to selling your home, first impressions count. And in a competitive market making sure that your home really looks its best can make all the difference. Here, we explore how enlisting the help of a home stager can help sell your home.
Presentation is key when it comes to selling your home and this is particularly important in the premium property market. Buyers at this level will have certain expectations and standards when it comes to finding their next home, so making sure your home really stands out can make all the difference. With that in mind, we offer our tops tips on how staging your home can help it sell:
Repairs and Upgrades
Many premium homes have been cherished by the same owners for decades. Over time, the little jobs may have become overlooked, so it is time to get on top of these. Partner with your trusted agent to identify these issues and ask them to recommend reliable contractors. Enhancing your property’s condition through necessary repairs and upgrades can significantly increase its appeal. Consider addressing structural concerns, updating outdated appliances, and refreshing interior finishes. Any premium materials and high-end finishes such as luxury countertops, flooring, fixtures appliances can be a great selling point so make sure your agent highlights these in your property details.
Curb Appeal
First impressions matter. Ensure the exterior of your property is immaculate and inviting. This includes maintaining the landscaping, enhancing exterior lighting, and completing any necessary repairs or touch-ups. If your garden needs attention, especially if you’re selling outside of its peak season, consider investing in professional landscaping services. Manicured lawns, pruned trees, and seasonal flowers can dramatically enhance the visual appeal, complimenting your home’s architectural style.
Declutter and Depersonalize
When you live in a house for a long time, you may find you accumulate a lot of extra belongings. Take this opportunity to declutter each room meticulously to get your home looking its best. Bring in professional assistance if you need an extra pair of hands, or eyes, to look over your home. Remove personal items and excess clutter to help potential buyers visualise themselves in the space. However, avoid depersonalising to the extent that the house feels sterile. A balance ensures buyers can emotionally connect with the home, imagining their own lives unfolding there.
Thoughtful Lighting Design
Effective lighting enhances both the interior and exterior of your property. Strategically position lighting to highlight architectural features, landscaping, and pathways, enhancing curb appeal by day and night. This can both help boost visual appeal and also highlight your property’s security and safety. Indoors, use lighting to accentuate the home’s best features and create inviting atmospheres in each room.
Professional Cleaning A spotless home speaks volumes. After decluttering, invest in a comprehensive professional clean. Ensure every corner, carpet, window, and hard-to-reach area gleams. A meticulously clean home reflects well on its overall maintenance, giving buyers confidence in the property's upkeep.
