Welcome to The Home Staging Source
Serving Buffalo and Western New York
Your house is probably your largest asset. Selling it can be one of the most important decisions in your life. Do you want to ensure your house sells fast and for top dollar? Then consider “Home Staging” or preparing a home for sale.
When you list a house for sale it becomes a product. Just like other commodities for sale, it has pros and cons and... competition. To gain an edge on the competition and sell quickly your house needs to stand out, look better and be priced right!
Staging a property is a smart investment! It sends the message of a well cared-for home. By creating a series of first impressions, and highlighting your home‘s features, the buyer is motivated to linger, connects emotionally and is able to visualize moving in-not on! The buyer needs to feel she is AT HOME, not in YOUR home.
The ultimate goal in Home Staging is to place the home in the best “showcase” condition, so it sells at the best possible price in the shortest possible time. The feeling to convey is de-personalized and de-cluttered, so the potential buyer can see the house and its features, not the current homeowners’ “stuff.” They see the best view of each room, the best traffic pattern through the home and the best curb appeal. Real estate agents will tell you there are times when a potential buyer will not even get out of the car just because of the impression made by the outside.
Looking at your house through the eyes of a buyer is the first step in objectivity. The marketplace will determine the price range your house is in and by Staging your home YOU are determining where your house falls in that range. The most critical timeframe for selling your property is the first 30 days. The first two weeks generate a flurry of activity, curiosity and interest are piqued, and brokers & agents tour. Price, location, and condition are three of the most important ingredients for a successful sale. All of these must be in balance or the property will take longer to sell and the dollar amount will be less. If your home is less than ready to sell and you don’t see the need to “prepare it for sale” don’t be disappointed when an offer comes in at less than you hoped for.
Staging works! Homes that are Staged have been proven to sell faster in slow markets and/or for more money in a hot market. When you sell you home your going to have to move. When you move you’re going to have to pack, so we’re just going to pack up some of your things early. I’ll show you room by room, inside and out, what to do, what to pack, what to move and what to add.
