Making a good first impression is everything when selling your home. Home staging is an amazing way to make a great impression on buyers and increase a property’s selling price while decreasing selling time.
So what is Home Staging?
Home Staging is basically dressing up your home as best as possible for open homes and Sale. You’ll have an interior designer come in an curate each space in your home.
When presenting a home for sale, designers will take into consideration the era, Layout, personality, and the colour scheme. It also very important to think about the prospective buyers. Styling a home with the intention of selling requires a different mindset.
It cannot be about personal taste. It’s all about creating space that is neutral and adaptable enough for buyers to add their own personal touch.
The aim is to make buyers feel at home when they tour your property. Home staging provides the buyer with an idea of how furniture could be placed in the home and how much space here will be available once furnished.
