When you finally make the decision to move out of your
house, you naturally want prospective buyers to appreciate all the wonderful memories
you and your family have created in your home.
The wall where you measured each of the kids’ heights?
Priceless.
Pictures from the kids’ art classes displayed on your fridge
and framed in the den? Charming.
An exercise corner with your bike and tread master?
Absolutely necessary.
To you, it all makes sense, but to others, your memories may
not. What if a buyer doesn’t have children or has children who have all moved
out? What you need to do is recognize that you absolutely can’t sell your house
the way you lived in it. Your memories are yours. They are not going to
be those of whoever buys your home. Instead you need to create a blank canvas
onto which prospective buyers can project their very own lifestyle and needs.
This is where a professional Stager comes in handy. They
have the trained eye to look at your house and can, using their professional distance,
advise you on ways to not limit a buyer’s interest.
Maybe it’s a new coat of paint over that kids’ measuring
wall (be sure to take a photo first.)
Or maybe it’s taking away as many reminders of kids in
general as possible.
On the other hand, the professional stager also knows how to
create possibility. That exercise corner in the second bedroom? If you replace
the equipment with a beautiful bassinet, you’ve now planted the idea of your
house being just perfect for a young couple.
It is the professional Stager’s job to make your house
outshine the competition in as many ways as possible. She will help you prepare your house by having
it cleaned, de-cluttered, and most importantly of all, de-personalized. It is
only when you present your home’s
maximum potential to the general public that you will succeed in finding
the perfect buyer who will then begin making their own memories.
