Home Staging Sells Properties Faster and For More
Some people must continue living in their homes as they go through the sale process, but on many occasions a home is not being occupied while it is on the market. When a home is vacant, it can lose the welcoming, cared for, and comfortable feeling of a home which is being lived in on a daily basis. This is especially true if the seller removes their belongings while the home is being marketed.
While vacant homes do sell, they tend to sit on the market longer with less interest. To combat this issue, many people have found success by partnering with a home staging company. As a leading provider of staging services in Boone, Des Moines, Ames, Ankeny, and the surrounding areas, we are happy to have helped many people sell their homes quickly and for the greatest possible price.
Vacant homes provide a blank canvas for us to work with, and many of our clients who have sold vacant homes have been astounded by the transformation we can cause through professional staging. In this article, we will discuss our staging process for vacant homes and the value we can add as a staging partner.
Make People Feel Welcome
We want each space we stage to feel warm, welcoming, and inviting for anyone who is touring in person or searching online. A vacant home can be underwhelming, and it loses the quality of a personal touch. When we work with a vacant space, we add all the comforts of a well-lived-in environment and help people feel welcome the second they walk through the door.
Bring Out the Best of the Space
Part of making a home feel welcoming is to highlight its unique and appealing attributes. There is no “cookie cutter” plan when we stage a home, because every home has its own selling points, style, size, and feel. Our idea is to view the home with fresh eyes and find out the best way to guide buyers through the space, using subtle cues to point out its functionality and desirable features. In vacant homes, we do this by adding items which show how a space can be best used for comfort while remaining stylish.
Tell a Story with Expert Staging
Once we welcome people into the home and point out the attractive features of a space, our goal is to tell a story. In vacant homes, there is no story being told at all, and this can be a detriment to selling. We want people to imagine themselves making coffee in the kitchen, enjoying outdoor spaces with family, lounging in the living area, and enjoying the home on a daily basis. By professionally staging a vacant home, we give people everything they need to daydream about living in and enjoying it every day.
Stand Out In-Person and Online
With so many homes on the market today, it’s crucial to stand out from the crowd. A vacant home easily fades into the background, but a well-staged home generates more interest online and makes an impact for in-person tours. If your home is vacant and ready to hit the market, we would love to help you generate maximum interest by staging it properly. To learn more about what we do, give us a call today.
