As an old realtor, I can tell you...appealing staging equates to $$$$. Just my personal home. I staged myself. My house sold in 4 days with multiple offers over and above my asking price. Stage your home?.....absolutely!!!
In a hallway, I replaced the framed photos of the kids with photos of our yard in different seasons - highlighting some of the nice things our landscaper did. Our open house was in August, but potential buyers got to see all of our spring and mid-summer plants in full bloom that way. I wanted to make sure they saw how pretty our tulips and lilac bushes are. We got multiple offers.
Decluttering and reducing items to half, just gives you a head start on packing to move to the new house
Great advice. I’ve been a Broker for 30+ years. Every seller should watch this. Cleaning, de-personalizing and de-cluttering are so important.
You are absolutely right! With much resistance from my son-in-Law, I staged my daughter’s home. There WAS a bidding war and they sold for $160k over asking! Pay attention people...it’s worth it !
I’m a real estate appraiser and a home stager. It is amazing how much money people miss out on because they don’t want to make the effort to declutter or make a small investment to put their best house forward.
Great video! Had a lakefront condo for sale and staged it using pretty much all of the guidelines you suggested. We weren’t living there so was easy not to have clutter or mess to worry about once I got it ready. Then we listed it with a friend in real estate. Even though it looked and smelled great and others said it looked like a house from a magazine, the realtor stripped any decorative touches, from the throw on sofa to the beautiful area rug, leaving bare flooring in a huge great room, then she rearranged the furniture in such a way you couldn’t even plug lamps in. She had the listing for 3 years and we received no offers. I knew it would cost a friendship, but we really wanted to sell our condo. So we let the listing lapse over the winter, went in and cleaned and staged it again like I had before. We listed it in the spring with a new realtor. We got a full price offer on the first showing within a week. The realtor was so impressed with the staging and could not understand why someone would change what I had done. So be sure you get a good realtor too. Love your home and your ideas!
This lady is one high society woman, you can never get tired of seeing her house. It’s beautiful and above all very very clean
Smell is so important, so glad you mentioned it. If a house smells funky like smoke, pets, mold, trash, anything gross- I'm out. I worry it will never go away.I HATE plug-ins! They give me a migraine and they smell like chemicals and cover-up.
I'm a renter however all (or most of) the tips you're suggesting are what would make a home much more enjoyable and comfortable for daily living.
These tips really are 'magic.' We followed most of this advice, had a bidding war, and received way more for the house than we thought possible. Something I wish we would have done: put up photos of the home in all seasons - we had beautiful landscaping and the house showed really nice in every season. Also, adding plants and flowers would have made the rooms much more charming. Thanks!
Also, when you take a picture of each room and look them over, certain areas more clearly stand out that need to be addressed.
Love this. I followed Leslie Hoyt's book 31 Days to a Staged Home. Very detailed, step by step, room by room. I did it all before the real estate agent came the first time and she was impressed which translated into her being excited to show the house. It sold very fast!
I sold my house so quickly, l had something cooking on the stove that smell delicious, and my living nice decorated, a beautiful floral arrangement on the coffee table, tall live plant in a corner,and beautiful curtains on the window, what woman can resist that homely touch.
Superb video and advice! Once we were selling a higher end home in a rural area with only 5k in the county! Candles burning, decluttered, vacummed every morning and night, no garbage, live plants and flowers.
I stage my house everyday for myself because it makes me feel sooooo good. Your channel is amazing. I have just subscribed.
I can guarantee you staging is the most important part of selling your home. My realtor did not know how to stage a home and so I had to do it myself. But it worked out for us! I sold my home in 2004, not only did the buyers take the house but all my furniture and the photos on the wall. We left the house with only our kitchen essentials and our clothing. So we had to buy all new furniture and accessories for the new house.
If I am selling in winter-time, I bake with cinnamon, if spring and summer, I have grated lemon zest in a little open jar.
Ok, so I'm not crazy! I told my husband when we go to sell, we're renting a storage unit and clearing most everything and getting suitcases to throw in the car for our stuff to be out of the way during showings. This was such a great video. Subbed!
I sold my house in the spring and did all the things you suggested. I went a little further; I took the everyday clutter from the bathroom vanities and placed them in plastic bins for each person, placed them under the bed. Each morning and evening each person pulled out the plastic bin for their toothbrush, toothpaste and soap. Each person got a bin for their stuff.
