The right colour is an asset when selling

When selling a house, your aim is to create a warm and inviting atmosphere. One of the most effective ways to do this is using a neutral colour palette.

A neutral palette helps your property appeal to the broadest numbers of buyers; as a seller even though you may love your colour scheme, you will not know what the likes and dislikes of prospective buyers are, so staying with neutrals is safe.

Neutral colours create an atmosphere of quality and sophistication.

A key strategy in getting you home ready for sale is to get buyers walking through your home to imagine themselves living there.   Unless buyers are looking for a renovation project, they will be looking to purchase a 'move in' ready property with as little work as possible.

Neutral colors also present better in online photos and as we all know, this is the first place the majority of buyers start their search for a new property - it is important to get then to want to actually view your home.

Neutral doesn't mean boring, in fact if you look at the photos there are  elements of colour in the furniture and accessories.   Adding colour through accessories and furniture not only enhances your presentation, but allows you to continue to enjoy these pieces when the home is sold, and allows the new home owner the opportunity to add their personal touch with accent colours when they move it.

Home Staging Creates a LifeStyle Buyers Want!

Home Staging is a brilliant way to showcase a home to potential buyers and enhance your chances of selling.   Home Staging helps your home sell!!

Statistics have proved that when searching for a new home, buyers view homes that are attractive in photos. In fact, 93% of home buyers start their search for a property on the internet?  Of this number 74% will drive by homes that interest them before they decide if they will make an appointment to view a property or attend an open house.   This sure doesn't make it easy for sellers, particularly in a market that is slow with an abundant supply of competition.

Home Staging helps both the seller and real estate agent gain an advantage over homes that have not been professionally staged, as you will be presenting a 'picture perfect' product and lifestyle that potential buyers are looking for.

Professional home staging creates an environment that helps buyers imagine themselves living in your home.

Pictures paint a thousand words
How would you feel if you viewed this room?

Now how would you feel if you viewed the same room that had been professionally staged?
It certainly would be more of a 'wow' factor wouldn't it?


Buyers Eyes
When it is your home being sold, it can be difficult to see your home as buyers do.  It is important to see your home through 'buyers eyes', as within 90 seconds of viewing your home; buyers will develop an attitude toward your house that is reinforced by everything else they encounter - having your home professionally staged will ensure those first 90 seconds and first impressions are positive.
