When it comes to buying real estate, house hunters imagine they can look past ugly decor or empty rooms and see “potential”, but they rarely can!
That’s why successful builders use Model Homes and Model Suites to sell their projects. They make it easy for a potential buyer to imagine how they will live in the property, they suggest the lifestyle that the buyer will aspire to.
Why home staging will help you sell your home
Savvy home sellers realize that the same principals that work when showing a model home apply in the resale market and turn to professional home stagers to sell their home quicker and for hopefully for more money. Real estate buyers start house hunting with a logical list of criteria, but the home they actually buy is chosen largely for emotional reasons.
The principal aim in a home staging project is to allow potential buyers to walk into the house and have that “this is it, this is home” feeling.
Once a potential buyer can say, “I love it,” they are willing to look past some of the criteria they had on their “must have in my next house list” before they walked in the door. That’s why it is critical to pay attention to even the smallest detail when staging a home to sell.
Little things like over crowded rooms, personal memorabilia, dripping taps or doors that stick, all help the buyer emotionally disengage from the house. The annoyances or problems they will have to deal with later build up in their minds, and their thoughts turn to the next listing appointment they have with their agent as they mentally tick your house off their list of possibilities.
Falling in love with your home is what motivates someone to actually make an offer instead of just continuing their search for the perfect property. You want them to worry that if they don’t make a decision on your house, someone else will. Then the competition doesn’t stand a chance!
