It's time to put your home on the market. You have hired an office manager. You signed all the documents. You've gotten the most common statements about keeping your home clean and ready for potential buyers. And now you think. Or is it you? Instead of waiting the typical 4 months to accept a reduced price on your home, why not invest in a professional home designer! This will dramatically reduce the time your home spends on the market - up to 20 times faster - and increase your revenue for your home - six percent over listing!
What is home design?
Home staging is simply the art of preparing your home for sale. Basically, there are five steps to building a home:
- Cleaning
- Get rid of unnecessary things
- Self-liberation
- Beauty and accessorization
- Manage
It used to be that home organization was a recommendation from your realtor to \"clean\" and \"declutter\". If you have a decorator, you may have been told to add flowers or fresh linens to the bathroom. However, being a real estate professional is not the same as being a design professional. Professional home decorators know exactly what to do to create the right atmosphere. Not only do they tell you to be careful, they know exactly what to do to create a mess-free environment. They can walk through your home and know right away if you need to remove or rearrange furniture. With just a quick visit, they can tell you what will improve your home's insulation. Why is home design important?
When it comes to marketing, first impressions are everything. A potential buyer will often decide whether to move into a home based on its exterior appearance. When they enter, they decide on a room in about 10 seconds. This means that you have 10 seconds to create an atmosphere that makes the idea come out and creates disinterest in the buyer.
Home design is a way to create that desire and desire. Thanks to home design, you can put your home in the best light.
Professional or DIY? Professional home improvement services are not free, and many people think they can save money by doing it themselves. However, there are many pitfalls to the do-it-yourself mentality. 1. You obviously love the look of your home, but you wouldn't create it, would you? Making a change can be hard when you love what you have and think your home is fine "as is". A professional can help you step back and see your home as a potential buyer would. They help you get your home out there for potential buyers!
2. What do you know about colors, lights, and traffic? If you're like most people, you know a little about these things. Even if the color or media system works for you and your family, a professional can find things that will prevent your home from getting a "fast barrier". Remember, buyers don't buy \"your house - they buy \"their house!
3. Can you search your home and quickly list 10 inexpensive ways to increase the value of your home? Homemakers can. They know how to make changes at the right time so you can get your home on the market quickly. They love your home as a buyer and can tell you what to save, what to keep, what to move, and what to add that will make your home sell.
Is home design profitable? One of the most important things you can do to sell your home quickly and for the highest price is to "list" it. The proof is in the pudding:
- According to the National Association of Realtors, for every dollar salespeople make, they get $4 back
- The average increase over the list price is 6.32%. On a $500,000 home, that's almost $32,000 more than your professional realtor! Think of home design as a way to get your sales rep for free!
A real estate professional has the knowledge, experience and qualifications necessary to sell your home. A real estate agent has the knowledge, experience and qualifications to prepare your home for sale. Although professional services are not free, the cost of those services far outweighs the benefits!
Selling your home can be a difficult time. Why wouldn't you want to reduce the time your home is on the market while increasing your selling price? Trust that a handyman can do everything.
