Strategies For Marketing Real Estate From Home Staging Companies Denver Realtors Use

By Michael Olson


If you are planning on putting your house on the market, you want it to sell quickly, and for the highest possible price. Most homeowners can't just open their front doors and invite prospective purchasers inside. In addition to hiring a Realtor and putting a sign in the front yard, homeowners have to prepare the house to be seen. The home staging companies Denver sellers have trusted in the past have some good advice to help you sell faster.

If you're skeptical about whether staging really works, you should check out some of the statistics that reinforce how much it influences buyers. Over thirty-three percent of Realtors feel that it affects buyer perception. Nearly half say staged houses sell faster. A decent percentage of Realtors believe it makes a difference in the value of the real estate. According to more than a third, staged houses aren't on the market as long as the ones not staged.

You don't have to stage every room in the house, and you don't have to take out a loan to create an effective presentation. Buyers are not equally interested in every room so you should concentrate on the ones that matter most to them. According to the National Association of Realtors, living rooms, master bedrooms, and kitchens are where homeowners should focus their efforts.

The whole house should be de-cluttered and de-personalized. You need to go through your house and clear it of personal photos and mementos. Window ledges, shelves, and bookcases have to be cleared out and cleaned. You can't leave the kids' toys stacked in corners. They need to be packed up or stored away in toy boxes. It's important for potential purchasers to be able to visualize themselves and their own personal belongings in the house. If they can't do that, you won't get an offer.

After you've cleared everything away, you must clean the house from top to bottom. Every room should be sparkling. You have to make up your mind to tackle all the chores you've avoided for too long. Laundry rooms, ceiling fans, baseboards, closet carpet all have to be pristine. Buyers will look inside medicine cabinets, closets, and refrigerators, so they have to be immaculate as well.

Do not underestimate the power of light. If you have dark rooms, they are going to seem small and dreary to potential buyers. You should open all the drapes and blinds in every room before an open house or tour. The lights need to be turned on, including lighting under kitchen cabinets.

Neutral colors will help sell your house. You might love that bright red accent wall in the dining room or the flocked wallpaper in the master bedroom, but when you are selling, you must forego your personal taste. Neutral colors make it much easier for buyers to visualize what they would do with rooms.

Fresh greenery, placed strategically, makes a difference. You don't need to be a master gardener to stage your house. All it really takes are some fresh plants here and there, and a bowl of fresh fruit on the kitchen counter, to make your home a welcoming place for visitors.
