Are you about to put your house on the market and move to a new home? Redesign for Real Estate, also known as home-staging, is an important first step in preparing your home for resale. The goal behind redesigning for real estate is to have your home be in the best condition possible so that it sells in the shortest amount of time for the highest possible price. Your "home" It is now a house on the market and homeowners who sell their homes quickly and for top dollar are those who have emotionally detached themselves from it and begin to see it through the eyes of the buyer.
A redesign, or home-staging consultant, can help you with this transition early in the sales process by showing you how to prepare your home to appeal to the widest buying audience.
There are many things you can do to improve the look and feel of your house in order to turn it into a home someone else wants to purchase. Before putting the house on the market, or before the big open house consider calling in a redesign for real estate consultant to go over the home-staging options with you.
Here are several options for home-staging:
Have a consultant walk through each room with you, going over every detail of what could be improved. Some of the suggestions can be really simple to change and others may take more work. Redesign consultants can leave you with a list of things to do yourself. However if you want more assistance, an interior redesign may be the best option.
If a redesign consultant comes back with an assistant to focus on the room arrangements, proper accessory and art placement, this will provide the most dramatic changes. They know how home-staging can take advantage of a great view; and they can create cozy settings any potential buyer will love.
Perhaps you have heard the design statement, "less is more?" It certainly applies in showing your house to potential buyers. In real estate, there is a fine line between having too much -- and not enough to show the homes potential. A house with a feeling of space is more desirable than a space with too many of the homeowner's personal items. How do you know what should stay and what needs early packing? A redesign consultant will know how to neutralize your house and create maximum visual impact by eliminating the excess "inventory" that causes many homes to languish on the market too long. Consider the packing of extra items just one step closer to moving day!
Some homeowners find themselves having to move before the house sells. Rather than leaving it empty, there are several home-staging options that will make the house more inviting to potential buyers. Why do you think they show model homes all decorated? An empty house looks cold and sterile and one with furniture, or at least several interesting vignettes (small pockets of interest) will help the buyer imagine what it will look like. You can add a few simple touches to add warmth or interest, or have an all-out-plan for filling the home. Sometimes the lengths you need to go to in order to sell your home are determined by where it is and the asking price.
Vignettes in an empty house can be created in any room. If your home is selling in an upscale market, you may want to fill the home with furniture rented from a company that specializes in this market. An interior redesigner can help with a variety of options suitable to your specific situation.
Dont forget the outside! Curb appeal is something you have most likely heard about. It is the first impression any potential homebuyer will get upon seeing the house when they drive up. Clean and tidy are important elements and a redesign specialist can offer additional ideas for adding color and interest that will draw the attention of anyone who goes by.
Congratulations! You have sold your house and are moving into your new home. Or, you may be moving into an apartment or rental that you will call home. Move-in services are available for anyone to help you get settled comfortably and quickly. Once you have the redesign team in to do some of the unpacking, furniture arranging, art hanging and placing of accessories, you will feel at home in just a day or two.
