Home staging is a subject that has many misconceptions. Some people think staging is for those with large budgets or flashy houses. Some people wonder why they need to hire a professional to style their beautiful home before selling it. Others wonder if staging even exists.
Yes! Home staging is a growing profession, as estate agents and owners of property have seen the increased selling price and the faster turnover that they can achieve when the property is staged.
Do you want to see the potential of a property or just view it as-is?
Many people are unable to look beyond the glossy wallpaper, the avocado green bathroom tiles, and the lounge filled with family treasures. 75% of people cannot imagine what it “could” look like. 75% of people miss the point…and fail to make an offer!
Are empty properties more attractive to viewers?
A completely empty home is also harder to sell as it’s difficult to imagine what will fit into the various spaces. A property that is empty can feel cold, echoey and uninviting. It has been proven that showing a lifestyle a buyer can relate to and identify with is very effective. Home staging can increase the sale price of a home by 8% on average, according to Rightmove statistics. When you need Gloucester Estate Agents, visit www.mwea.co.uk
Declutter for a better chance of attracting buyers
The key to selling a beautiful home is to create a serene, decluttered feeling that will give the buyer a sense of calmness and comfort, rather than the cluttered, hectic and stressful lifestyle we all live. They want to experience the dream and not the reality.
