Spend Fewer Days on the Market in Annapolis With Home Staging

Professional home staging is a tried and true technique applied to sell a house here in Annapolis. Some positive aspects of home staging include less time on the market and higher bids. And you should certainly consider professional home staging if you need a quick home sale.

Staging your house in Annapolis is all about promoting a lifestyle. You want buyers to imagine themselves calling your house "home". You want them to see your present home as their next home.

Prepping your home to sell shouldn't be thought of as a nerve-racking experience. It can turn into an eye-opening and inventive activity. Together, we'll work to get a high offer for your property. Below are a few home staging pointers to get you going:

Curb Appeal Checklist

Start with the outside of your home, or your curb appeal. Inspect the exterior of your home from a street perspective. What do you notice first? What would've-been-eye-catching features seem to fade into the background?Knowing this helps us to choose what measures we can take to attract buyers from the street and into your house. If your home isn't pretty on the outside with retouched paint and blooming garden plants we'll need to address those as well. Refer to the Curb Appeal Checklist and increase your home's final selling price.

Welcome Home Checklist

Does your home seem to say, "This is Your Next House" to a buyer? Walking-through your home with a critical eye, I'll recommend arrangements that build up sales appeal. I'll suggest that you reduce the effect of anything that gives the appearance of clutter. Table and counter tops should be cleared off. Arts and crafts, souvenirs, family photos, and play time drawings should get moved out of sight. You need to give mass appeal to the home so buyers can imagine it as their new house.

I'll look over every room of your home. I'll point out the pieces of furniture that should be rearranged, rooms that need a fresh coat of paint, rugs needing to be changed, fixtures that could use shining, and any other improvement that can easily be made to positively impact the sale.

I'll ensure your house is appealing and that it's welcoming, steering clear of "offensive" or "too-bright" colors on the walls and furniture. And if none of your belongings are there, you can try renting furnishings. The goal is for your house to look lived in as opposed to vacated.

Setting the Stage

You'll know when to show your home, because everything comes together to paint a picture of what buyers can envision after they choose to buy your house. Dark rooms can be a real mood killer, so we'll do things like open curtains and create light where needed to invite the buyer inside. Together we'll enhance the mood of the house with enjoyable music to listen to while guests enjoy your home and make sure a delightful scent circulates room-to-room. We'll add cozy-looking throws, and pillows on your love seat and bed. We want buyers to feel like your home has the potential to be.
