If you are planning to put your house on the market this summer, you are going to want to sell it as quickly as possible and get your asking price. Impressing potential buyers from the very beginning of the buying process should be your top priority. First impressions are lasting impressions, so you want to create a welcoming feeling for those coming to view your property.
A seller needs to emphasize the strengths of their home and downplay the weaknesses.
Decluttering your home is an important part of the home staging process. Renting a self storage unit can give you the extra space you need to declutter your home.
Home Staging is an effective sales technique that integrates decorating with marketing and creates a better experience for home buyers. Home Staging is designed to showcase your home's best assets, impress buyers and sell your home quickly and for the highest possible price.
Home Staging includes decluttering, rearranging furniture, painting, and minor repairs. You can stage your home yourself, hire a professional stager or talk to your real estate agent.
Potential buyers want to be able to walk into a home and be able to visualize living there. Staging also gives the impression of a well-maintained home and makes the house look larger. Remember, you only get one chance to make a great first impression.
When viewing a home, buyers can easily get distracted by personal items and clutter. Draw their attention to the home’s strongest selling features and remove all the possible distractions. Consider renting a self storage unit and removing extra furniture, family photos, and personal items.
By staging each room with just the basics, you allow people to mentally move in their own furniture and imagine how their stuff would look.
1. Store Seasonal Items
2. Depersonalize
3. Focus On Kitchens And Bathrooms
4. Declutter And Deep Clean
5. Store Excess Furniture
You want to make your property feel larger than it is. You also want the potential buyer to feel that they will have enough space for their items. Renting a self storage unit in Edmonton will allow you to put away your seasonal items, temporarily, and provide that wow factor for the new homeowners.
Remove all your personal items, such as your children’s drawings, your family photos, and other personal items and store them away for a short time. By removing your personal items, it will make it easier for the potential home buyer to see this as their new home and allow them to visualize themselves living there.
A storage facility in Edmonton, such as Elite Self Storage, is a perfect solution for keeping your personal items safe and secure until your house sells.
Ensure that all counter tops are free of clutter and small appliances. It is nice to have a vase or candles on the countertop, but everything else should be put away. Having neutral coloured paint on the walls and as much natural light filtering into these rooms as possible, will enhance the focal points in the room. To help organize your kitchen or bathroom, store your extra items in labelled totes and place them into your storage unit.
Go through each room of your house, removing anything you don’t need during the sale of your home. Donate it to a local charity, sell it, or place it in a self storage unit.
A deep clean of your home is also important. You will want to be aware of pet odors and other smells that may be lingering in your home. Be wary of using heavy chemical cleaning products, as someone coming to view your home could be sensitive to those smells. Have a friend or realtor do a walk through your home to see if they can find anything else you may have missed.
Staging your home is about presentation and enhancing the appearance of each room. Renting a self storage unit is the ideal solution to store your excess furniture, electronics and clothing. Self storage units are easy to access, affordable and a terrific option in keeping your items safe.
