Why Should You Put Money in a House You're Selling?
This is a common question that homeowners have when they are in the process of getting their house ready to sell. You may feel the same way. The problem is, it is easy to feel you are wasting your money on repairs, painting, deep cleaning and more when you are leaving. You may think, "Why can't the new homeowners do it the way they want it done?" The answer is, if it looks like work for the buyer, it will cost you.
A better way of looking at home staging is as an investment in getting a higher price for your home. Think about garage sales. Shoppers expect to get a bargain for the purchases. This doesn't happen in retail stores. Shoppers know they are paying for new unless the store needs to move the merchandise or there is a flaw and the store has to sell it at a discount. Do you want your home to be a garage sale purchase or do you want to do what is necessary to be the one to get the best price for the quality of home being purchased? It is a matter of your goals.
There are different types of buyers. Very few buyers are looking for a "handyman special" in which they do the work and profit from their efforts. There are some buyers who can see past the clutter and see the potential of the space behind your belongings. But the vast majority of buyers want a move-in ready home, with no hassles. In today's market, families are too busy to do the work themselves. So give them what they want. You home will appeal to the majority and command the price it deserves, which means money in your pocket.
Let me put it in another perspective. Think about a job interview. If you are up against a whole pool of other candidates you want to come out on top. How do you do this? You dress your best, research the company that is hiring, practice how you would answer questions and essentially prepare for the process. If you don't, you probably won't get the job. You will eventually get one, but it might not be what you want or for the salary you expected. The same is true for selling your home. Why would you want to sell your biggest investment without making sure it looks its best?
Only you can decide how much effort you are going to put into getting your home ready to sell. You have control over the selling process. I want to make sure you know what your options are and the possible outcomes for your efforts. There is a reason why some houses sell quickly and sell for more. Home staging is an investment in getting a higher return when selling.
Home staging consultations are perfect for homeowners who want to benefit from home staging and who are willing to put some time and effort to make more money from the sale of their home. Unless the house is vacant, most people do not require the services of a company to come in and do everything for them (including charging them an arm and a leg for the privilege). Most people simply need a Home Staging Consultant (me) to guide them towards fulfilling their staging needs with expert advice and my specific Game Plan to achieve success.
Staging South Tampa offers home staging consultations (staging to sell), room re-designs (one-day decorating), new home move-in assistance (staging to live) and color consultations.
