Staging Your Home For Success
Home staging is about illusions. It's more than decorating and cleaning. It's all about perfecting the art of creating moods. It makes our house look bigger, brighter, cleaner, warmer, more loving and, it makes home buyers want to buy it. Staging is actually the thing what we do after we've cleaned, painted, made minor repairs; it's all about dressing the house for sale. It’s like adding something to the house to make it more beautiful.
Those who are professional in staging are artists. They can take even a blank canvas and paint a gorgeous portrait without ever lifting a paint brush. Stagers have the skills of a top-level designer and they create dramatic scenery that appeals to our senses. They arrange sparse pieces of furniture in an appealing grouping; showcase a generous usage of soft fabrics such as silk, satin, display unusual knickknacks in units of 1, 3 or 5 and add unique components to shelving, bookcases and fireplace mantels, which draw attention to predetermined areas.
Prices for staging depends on the location of the house and on the demand of artist in that area. Coastal areas and large metropolitan cities where home staging has been prevalent for years command higher prices. Some real estate agents help sellers Stage the home themselves. Most listing agents agree, however, that vacant homes show better with staging and will encourage sellers to hire a professional stager. Fees range from $500 to $5,000 or more, depending on square footage and the number of rooms staged.
Staging is a hot topic for home sellers. While there are many things to consider when staging our home for sale, but we need to follow some points to make it more perfect such as we need to look at other staged homes that are our competition so that we can give our home a unique look and we also need to understand that the way we live in our home and the way we market our home for sale are two different things. Staging makes our home so beautiful that it gives such a first impression that buyers took it with just one go.
