First impressions matter, especially when 85% of staged homes sell for 5 to 23% over their listing price.1 When selling your home in Jacksonville and the surrounding areas, a wow-worthy exterior and entrance set the stage for a quick sale at top dollar. But lackluster landscaping or an outdated, cluttered foyer can also deter buyers before they even step inside. As full-service home stagers dedicated to maximizing your home’s value, we recognize the importance of staging, especially when 95% of buyers search online for homes.2 Home Staging Unlimited makes extraordinary first impressions our specialty. Keep reading to learn how our exterior and entryway staging transforms your home’s curb appeal to capture buyers’ interest.
Decluttering and Design That Welcomes Buyers In
Let’s start outside. Are overflowing bushes concealing your home’s charming architectural details? Does faded paint or a sagging porch diminish your home’s appeal? Our team identifies these exterior areas that need attention first, and while we emphasize on enhancing interiors, we can recommend professionals to help with these exterior improvements.
While our primary focus is on furniture arrangement, decluttering, and adding decorative elements to interiors, we believe that a comprehensive approach—addressing both interior and exterior—ensures your home is presented in the best possible light.
After the necessary exterior improvements are handled, we can guide on adding thoughtful touches like potted plants, stylish porch furniture, and elegant lighting to enhance curb appeal. The goal is inviting buyers to linger a while before they unlock the door. Once inside, cluttered foyers and hallways trip up great first impressions. We remove residents’ coats, shoes, toys and other personal items so buyers can instantly see themselves coming home. Our stagers re-arrange furniture to open sightlines and draw visitors deeper into your home’s best living spaces, a crucial step given that 86% of potential buyers find it easier to visualize a property when it is staged.3 We incorporate trendy yet timeless accents like framed mirrors, runner rugs, and fresh florals for polished style with mass buyer appeal. The result welcomes buyers into an uncluttered, design-forward space that flows seamlessly from elegant entry to spacious interior rooms.
What Do You See When You Enter Your Home?
Be honest: does your home’s entryway showcase the spacious, contemporary interior buyers crave? Or does clutter block their view? By skillfully editing and artfully showcasing what lies beyond your front door, we help you make a stellar first impression. This thoughtful approach entices buyers inside and primes them to appreciate the rest of your home’s finest features.
Guiding Visitors Deeper Inside Your Northeast Florida Property
Once buyers cross the threshold, thoughtful staging continues by drawing their eye towards the home’s best assets. We incorporate design psychology to subconsciously lead buyers deeper inside your property. For example, placing an entryway console table topped with beautiful objects catches their eye and entices further exploration of the adjoining room. Staging barstools at a pass-through kitchen counter encourages visiting the spacious kitchen just beyond. Strategically placed furnishings and artwork lead buyers from public living spaces down secluded hallways towards private owner’s suites. This intentional flow highlights what buyers value most – generous living areas and luxurious master suites. They naturally follow this visual path as they tour your home. Before they know it, buyers have already fallen in love with your best rooms, especially significant when considering that 81% of homebuyers say that a staged home makes it easier for them to visualize the property as their future home.4
Could Your Entryway Use Curb Appeal help?
Take an objective look at your home’s exterior and entry spaces. Consider potential flaws buyers might notice, like peeling paint or sagging gutters. While we’ll focus on enhancing the interiors and provide guidance on the exteriors, it’s beneficial to address these flaws for a holistic appeal. Then, visualize your entryway as a clean, contemporary space free of residents’ belongings. Picture an uncluttered console table behind the front door, with a beautiful vase of flowers drawing visitors towards the rooms beyond. Let us transform this vision into reality!.
The Power of Skillful Design and Intuitive Flow
Creating an effortless flow from your home’s exterior to the rooms within is both a science and art form. It requires an experienced stager’s understanding of human psychology and intrinsic sense of spatial flow. Don’t leave your first impression to chance. Allow our artistic insights and strategic staging expertise to make your home irresistible, particularly when 96% of realtors believe that home staging positively influences a buyer’s decision.5
