Staging – Owner Occupied Properties
Home Staging is a marketing
tool employed by many successful sellers and agents. Staging is not a
new idea, but is newer as an industry and specific techniques are
evolving all the time. Professional, third party Home Staging has helped
many successful sellers and agents in the Omaha metro for the past
several years.
A typical Home Staging
appointment for an owner occupied home – where the seller and his or
her belongings are staying in the property while on the market – can
include, but is not limited to the following:
- A
complete Home Staging strategy is created through open discussion with
the seller
- Focus on
the exterior presentation; landscaping, condition of cement on drive and
walkways, condition of paint/siding, front door, light fixtures, etc
- Complete
exam of all interior rooms and their current furniture arrangement
- Often
times specific items are selected to pre-pack, temporarily store, or
re-use in other areas of the home where they will be more helpful to
have on display (it’s surprising how often just adjusting a few items
can make a HUGE difference in a room’s appearance)
-
Customized toy/pet/storage strategies
- Detailed
report typed and returned to the home seller
SOMETIMES it is extremely
helpful to make other improvements to the property. Budget and timelines
are always taken into consideration and discussed openly. After all, the
goal is to sell the home, NOT break the bank with unnecessary or costly
home improvements.
- Remove
wallpaper and repaint, or repaint over bold or taste specific colors
with a more neutral color (paint colors professionally selected on the
spot)
-
Recommendations to replace flooring in key areas such as an entry way,
kitchen or bath. Flooring
can be professionally selected.
- Light
fixtures are often one of the easiest and least expensive ways to update
a house or room; lights can be selected for the seller.
