Step into the Buyers Shoes

Which one would you buy?

When you list your home, remember that your home is now a product on the market and like any product, it must have nice packing. Buyers are not looking to buy work or in the case above are not sure what the purpose or function of the space is.

I have heard that buyer shop with blinders on only focusing on the negative. Staging will highlight the features of the property helping buyers take the blinder off to see the positive features of the property.

Over 90% of home buyers search online for homes they would like to tour. The more pictures the better. No pictures say to the buyer “this house must need work” or “there is a reason there’s no pictures “sending signals to the buyers they is something wrong with the property. The buyer will quickly cross that house off their list.

MLS photographs need to show clean, free from clutter and each photo must show the function of the space. Photos should highlight the features and focal points of the property too.

The Internet is a very powerful tool for real estate, your home needs to make a good first impression.  In today’s market you need to capture the buyer online in order for them to come take a closer look.

Occupied Staging For Your Calgary Home.

Occupied Staging is becoming more popular in Calgary. Most sellers just need help arranging furniture to make their space buyer friendly. With a few tweaks to what this client already had we were able to create a space with function, allowing buyers to see the potential in this spacious bonus room.

                                     
 

Staging Your Way to Success

A lovely family friendly home just came on to the market on Friday in Discovery Ridge, Simply Stylish Staging came in for a staging consultation. We gave the sellers a detailed list; which we addressed furniture arrangement, depersonalizing and showing tips. The sellers have great Realtors® that had already advised them on pre-packing.

I rolled up my sleeves and went to work in all the impact rooms, working with what the seller had. My goal in each room is to lighten, brighten and make the space look larger. Within a couple hours with the homeowners help the property was sale ready.

The listing went on the market Friday afternoon and was conditionally sold on the first showing Saturday night. When home sellers, agents and stagers all work together, houses sell quickly.
