Make Your Home the Star of the Neighborhood - Stage It!

I’ve written before about many of the things you need to do to get your New Orleans West Bank home ready to sell:

Spring Home Selling Tip #1 - Curb Appeal

Spring Home Selling Tip #2 - Clean, Clean, Clean

Spring Home Selling Tip #3 - Clear the Clutter

Spring Selling Tip #4 - Neutralize

 

With so many competing homes on the market today, how do you make yours stand out?  Have you considered staging your West Bank home to sell?  From the Staged Homes website:

Staging sets the scene throughout the house to create immediate buyer interest in your property….Remember, “The way you live in your home, and the way you market and sell your house are two different things.”

 

Staging your home can be as simple as a low-cost consultation with a professional stager who can  provide you with a list of things to do on your own to make your home shine.  Or, it can be as extensive as furnishing a vacant home to give it a lived-in and warm atmosphere.  No matter which route you take, home staging can pay off in the form of a quicker sale. 

 

Of course, no amount of staging will overcome deferred maintenance or an over-priced home - repairs should be addressed before placing your home on the market and heeding the pricing advice of your professional West Bank REALTOR® is critical.  Staging is yet another tool to help you present your home in the best light to potential buyers and help them picture themselves at home. 

 

Like all good REALTORS®, I keep a handy list of folks who can help me get my job of selling your home done.  Do you need a referral to a local home stager?  Feel free to contact me or give me a call at (504) 616-6262.
