You’ve signed the deal and the home-stager is on board. Yours is a property that needs to sell, but what to expect of a home-stager?
Once you’ve settled on the professional of your choice and a schedule is determined, the job begins to create maximum appeal. It’s a bit like painting a picture. The home-stager then draws on experience, talent and training to achieve the goal – to sell the house within the client’s expectations.
Understanding the process can help reduce any frustration or misunderstanding, and make for an excellent experience.
Various home-staging options
Capable home-stagers will supply and arrange suitable furniture, artworks, plants and accessories if the property is vacant, . In some cases where pictures have to be hung or rooms painted, a home-stager will have a dedicated support team to assist.
In furnished properties, they’re able to re-style from the perspective of the target buyer market. This may mean stripping away some personalised furnishings, like family photographs, because the aim is to get the prospective purchaser to see themselves inhabiting the space. An experienced home-stager will also address issues of flow and light for optimal representation.
If you prefer to go it alone however, you might consider getting a basic consultation with a home-stager. In these cases, the home-stager can walk you through the process and make suggestions on what can be done to get buyers interested. We’ll tell you for free that the cookie baking trick during a house showing has worn thin! Even worse, it could be a deal-breaker.
Another option to sell your property
Cape Home Staging has a fourth option, which came about as a result of our social distancing requirements. We’re happy to do an off-site consultation, which essentially means talking through suggestions based on photographs via whatever mobile or online tool you prefer.
