Home Staging Tips

Sell quickly in Ozark with home staging and with Murney Associates, Realtors, Licensed In Missouri as your REALTOR - 417-581-1110

Prior to listing your home for sale, consider a surefire way to sell your house: expert home staging. Home staging benefits include fewer days on the market and better offers. If you want to sell your house quickly, consider a well-planned approach to home staging.

Home staging is part of preparing your home for sale. Staging concentrates energy on your home's presentation to buyers while highlighting the characteristics of your home with strategically placed furnishings and photos so that your home seems bigger and buyers can imagine their lives in your home.

Vacant homes are held more days on the market. As your REALTOR, I can give you home staging tips so that your home sells as quickly as possible. Together, we'll work to get your home sold.

Curb Appeal

First, look at the outside of your house, or your curb appeal. Inspect the outside of your house from a street view. What jumps out at you? What unique characteristics seem hidden? Understanding this assists us in deciding what we can do to invite buyers from the street and into your house. If your home isn't pretty on the outside with touched up paint and blooming garden plants it's time to get those things done. Follow the Curb Appeal Checklist and raise your house's final selling price.

Welcome Home

Does your home seem to say, "Welcome Home" to a buyer? Looking through your home with a buyer's eye, I'll recommend adjustments that build up Open House appeal. I'll help you reduce the effect of anything that gives the appearance of clutter. Table and counter tops should be clutter-free. Knickknacks, souvenirs, family photos, and refrigerator drawings should get moved out of sight. We need to "generalize" the home so buyers can picture it as their new home.

I'll look over each room of your home. I'll point out the pieces of furniture that should be rearranged, rooms that need a fresh coat of paint, rugs needing to get changed, fixtures that could use shining, and any other improvement that can easily be made to positively impact the sale.

We'll ensure your home has mass appeal and that it's welcoming, avoiding "loud" or "can't-work-with" shades on the walls and furniture. And if you've already moved out, you can think about renting furnishings. You want your home to look homey as opposed to bare.

Setting the Stage
At every showing, we want to capture buyers' attention. Brightness is important and we'll draw back curtains, and change light bulbs where needed to invite the buyer inside. We'll enhance the mood of the house with enjoyable music to listen to while guests look around your home and assure a pleasant aroma flows throughout your house. We'll make use of cozy-looking bedspreads, and place pillows on your loveseat and bedding. We want buyers to feel like your place is their future home.
