Well, I think spring is unofficially here, and houses are already popping up on the market. Keeping an eye on the MLS listings, its easy to see who took time to stage their homes and who didn’t. Not staging your home is leaving money on the table… a lot of money. Home buyers these days want ready to move in homes, they are too busy to “DIY” a home they just purchased. They expect a certain standard these days, and when they don’t see it, they pass on by or your house sits on the market and then comes the first price cut, then the second. You cannot afford to do that. ReDesign or home staging provides a way to ensure your home is competing at top dollar. Why would someone buy your house with too many things to fix, when the one down the road has all the “fix-its” done and ready to move in, and looked great when viewed on MLS?
I just yesterday read of a stager friend’s sister who balked at the idea of renovations her brother had suggested. The renovations totaled $9000 dollars and to her that was a lot of money. He told her if his suggestions for renos were completed she would make that money back right away and then some. The house sold in 3 weeks and at $125,000 over asking! He said the simple renovations suggested and new paint really created a charming home and multiple offers came in. That’s the power of home staging or ReDesign. You really can’t afford not to.
ReDesign staging is like a full home staging except we use YOUR furnishings and accessories for the most part, and we may add in some other accessories, lighting, art work, a few pieces of furniture here and there. We make it attractive to potential buyers. Mostly though, it’s about rearranging rooms, embellishing architecture or home features, removing pieces that don’t work, and adding in pieces that do, to create a spacious appearing home that buyers will want to see from MLS.
Did you know a buyer will decide which house to view in just 11 SECONDS!
Make sure you’re ready for MLS pictures.
If your MLS pictures are less than the best they can be, that home buyer will pass right on by.
A ReDesign staging is less expensive than a full home staging, but either one is absolutely necessary for top dollar on your home! Wouldn’t you want to be the home that buyers want to see, before they see others on your street or in your neighborhood? Of course you would.
As we say, It pays to stage, and ReDesign staging is an alternative to full home staging.
ReDesign consultation offers either a walk and talk consult with a DIY list for homeowners to accomplish themselves, or with a report emailed to the client with colors, ideas for curb appeal, accessories, and furniture placement ideas. We also give you ideas on decluttering and organizing.
Your home is your biggest investment and can be your best money maker. Don’t risk losing tens of thousands of dollars by having it looking less than the one down the road. ReDesign consults are $250 and up (depending on size of home and whether a report is requested) and definitely well worth every penny.
We also have a special discount 10% offer for seniors who are downsizing or selling their home. We’re happy to help!
