Creating a Warm Welcome by Staging Your Home
Creating a Warm Welcome by Staging Your Home
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Frank_Silveria]Frank Silveria
Making sure your home shows well cosmetically is simply called "staging". You want to stage your home in such a way that creates an atmosphere that draws in your potential buyers to choose your home over the others on the market.
We all know what first impressions can do, and it's no different for your home. When potential home buyers walk through your front door, what do they see and feel? Is the entrance warm and welcoming? Are the foyer walls bare or are they staged with welcoming, beautiful framed pictures? You can't get passed a first impression so you want to make it the best as possible.
As your potential home buyers pass through the entrance and peruse the rest of the home the same rules apply. How warm and cozy does your home feel? Generally speaking people make decisions based on feelings. What kind of feelings are you creating with the décor and style of your home?
Most homes are not staged, but are simply shown as lived in. This is sometimes detrimental to the selling of your home. People tend to see what you show them and if the house is nothing special but just looks lived in, then people tend to get that feeling that there probably is something better out there. You want to offer the potential buyers a glimpse of what their life will be like in the home. So you would want to make it as appealing and luxurious as possible, not just lived in.
Staging a home can be a large process and very laborious. With that in mind there are companies that will do this for you. They are professional stagers that can get your home ready to sell with the right touches and the right look. Granted that these companies will cost you money for their services, it just may pay off in the end when you can get your asking price or near asking price for your home. Also, if your home is being shown but not receiving any offers, this may be an indication that you have not got the right bait. The bait may be staging.
In the tough market that we are in right now home sellers need every advantage possible. The average lived in home may not be appealing enough as the professionally staged home down the street. Look at all your options when putting your home on the market, and don't forget the staging.

Home Staging is Not an Expense, It's an Investment
Home Staging is Not an Expense, It's an Investment
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Dawn_Carpentier]Dawn Carpentier
We just can't say enough about the wonderful consequences of the staging process. The metamorphosis is always amazing and does not have to be costly for the property owner. Often simply de-cluttering and painting, followed by the right placement of furnishings and accessories can make over many properties.
Even staging a home which has been unoccupied for some time can make all the difference to prospective purchasers who can ultimately envision themselves living in a warm and inviting environment instead of an empty home.
Staging and showcasing can be accomplished within a variety of budget constraints, but should always be considered an investment in maximizing the return to the homeowner, instead of an expense.
Professional stagers can be objective, highlighting the positive features of a property, showcasing the various focal points, and in so doing reminding the homeowner of the original reason for the purchase of the home, even though it may have been many years ago. Oftentimes a homeowner gets so comfortable in their own individual style of living that they lose track of how others may view their arrangements and placements. A return to a more traditional setting may require a short term sacrifice on the part of the owner, but also provides the prospective purchaser with a more conventional and perhaps a more acceptable setting. For example by transforming exercise rooms, playrooms or other uses back into the originally intended bedrooms, the purchaser can envision a family environment which better suits their style of living.
Staging is a three step process when done by a professionally trained stager (Canadian Staging Professionals CSPtm). The first step is a comprehensive consultation, with a written report outlining what work is required prior to the actual hands-on staging process. It requires us to visit the premises for an average of about 1 1/2 hours. It involved an overview of about 15 minutes with the homeowner, followed by our tour and taking of photographs. Our subsequent report provides complete details, from the exterior curb appeal perspective, to a room-by-room breakdown of actions required. We outline which items/furniture should stay and which should be removed or put into storage during the marketing phase (viewings and open houses).
If a homeowner has the time and expertise to perform this work, the second stage or "sweat equity" portion of their input in minor repairs and painting is very cost effective. If time constraints for busy homeowners is an issue (or being unable to capably take on these tasks necessitates hiring professionals), a stager can usually either recommend various companies to carry out the work or with the approval of the owner, oversee the completion themselves, for a fee agree upon by the two parties.
Once this work has been completed, the third or showcasing stage can then proceed. It is a one day process requiring a team of CSPtm staging professionals who come into the home and arrange the furnishings and accessories with a view to making it more attractive to potential buyers. Once completed, the homeowner and/or the real estate agent can proceed immediately with offering the property for viewings and open houses. The competitive advantage of staging over unstaged houses in the neighborhood provides an opportunity to sell faster and with a higher return than similarly priced properties, a true investment in the property, with a recovery of the costs involved in the staging.
