Are you interested in speeding up your home’s sale while achieving a better selling price? Home staging could sell your home 3 times faster while adding 10% to its sale price.* There are many ways to move your home sale forward. Let's examine why home staging is a worthwhile endeavour, with a few tips to ensure its success. 

What is home staging? 

Home staging is all about presenting your home in its best possible light. This will attract more buyers and create those all-important excellent first impressions. Whether you hire a professional, consult your agent, or do it yourself, home staging makes each room of your home more desirable. Done correctly, photographs, 3D tours, and face-to-face viewings will create a real emotional connection with your potential buyers. 

How do I stage my home?

Decluttering rooms and arranging furniture in spacious layouts will allow your home’s rooms to appear fresh and clean. Refreshing the paintwork and repairing minor blemishes will help you achieve this. Once you complete these tasks, incorporate details like scented candles and flowers. Dressing bedrooms with crease-free linen and cushions, or the dining room with nice tableware, will set the scene. 

First impressions can be moving 

As soon as your potential buyers see your property, they start to make up their minds. Kerb appeal is vital, and creating this is relatively straight forward. A weed-free path, a well-presented front door, clean windows, neatly trimmed lawns, and tidy guttering are all cost-effective ways of helping buyers get that ‘love at first sight’ feeling. But don't stop there; create it as best you can throughout your home.

Flaunt your home’s features  

Following these tips allows your potential viewers to easily imagine living in your home. It’s important to make this happen effortlessly. Hiding your home’s features and asking your potential buyers to navigate their way through clutter or your personal belongings will not show your home in its best light. An attractive home attracts buyers, and if your home is ready to welcome new owners, it will reduce their stress levels. 

Low-cost with potentially high gains 

Home staging could achieve a staggering 586% ROI.** So spending a few hundred pounds on staging your home correctly could potentially lead to making thousands of pounds worth of gains. Spending a bit of time staging your home could more than likely reduce your selling time. So, the sooner you start, the better. A good first step is to create a to-do list that will break down the task of staging your home into manageable chunks.
