Dressing your Real Estate Up For Success in Leicester Ma. Staging Can Make the Difference.

February 4, 2015 by Rick Annunziata

Real Estate Selling Strategies in Leicester Ma.

Help your home in Leicester Ma make a great first impression on prospective homebuyers by “dressing” it for the occasion. In the real estate business, painting rooms, hanging art, rearranging furniture, and carefully placing accessories is called “staging” your home. As a result, your home is presented in the best possible light for open house and private showings.

You need to highlight your home’s strengths, and downplay any perceived weaknesses. Your goal is to appeal to the largest pool of prospective buyers.

Using the following suggestions, you can stage your home to appeal to buyers.

Make A Grand Entrance to show off your home.

Your front entryway makes the first impression on people as they arrive at your house. Put a fresh coat of paint on the door, shine your doorknocker and other hardware, and make sure street numbers are clean and bright or replace them. Make sure all wooden steps are repaired and freshly painted. Finish off the decorating with a pretty doormat and some attractive potted plants.

Sandy Annunziata of S & R Properties says, “Curb appeal is just as important as painting, cleaning, and carpeting your interior–it’s the buyers first impression, so try to make a good one.”

Mow the lawn, clear the clutter and plant some shrubs. A real estate professional can offer lots of advice because they have experience selling many properties.

Clutter Must Go

Room by room, all excessive belongings need to be packed or discarded. Organize display shelves and bookcases to include plenty of empty space. Storage bins on wheels can roll under the bed and hide toys, seasonal clothing, paperback books, and other items that clutter up shelves, closets, and counter tops.

Move Furniture Away From Walls

Reposition your furniture into social groupings. Move everything away from walls, and lessen the amount of furniture in the room. Your rooms will appear spacious, airy, and inviting. The edges of the room should remain clear to allow easy navigation in and around the room.

Transformation

If you have a room or area currently used for collecting junk and dust, transform it into a home office, yoga room, art studio, or book nook. Using small spaces effectively adds appeal value when potential buyers tour your home. No one wants to look at a dirty, smelly home so make sure your home shines from top to bottom.

Natural Lighting

Fill your home with natural lighting, and remove all heavy curtains. Light airy window treatments will let the light in and still allow privacy when needed. Every room looks better when bathed in natural light. Try translucent parchment or bamboo shades for a natural look in bedrooms, bathrooms, and kitchen.

Splash With Color

Nothing brightens or livens up a room better than a fresh coat of paint. Choose a color from a painting on the wall or a pillow on the couch or bed. If your room contains a fireplace or beautiful bay windows, paint an accent wall for an eye-popping room. Paint the insides of bookcases with a soft shade that compliments other colors in the room.

A staged home gets the attention of both real estate agents and buyers. Use these suggestions to add “buyer appeal” to your house, and you’ll be putting a sold sign on your property very soon.
