Why Styling To Sell Matters

When preparing your home to sell, of course, you want to showcase it to highlight all of its best features, so it looks most appealing to prospective buyers. While you have your home styled to suit your lifestyle and the way you operate, this may not be the best way to showcase your home to the demographics that will come to your open homes. Check out these top reasons why styling to sell matters.

Declutter to the max

While it isn’t reasonable nor always feasible to completely clear your house for an open home, decluttering will have a significant impact on the presentation of your home. Try taking the less is more approach, so your home still feels like it is lived in, but there is also enough room for prospective buyers to imagine themselves living there too. Removing any personal items and unnecessary accessories is the easiest place to start, think magnets and ornaments that offer no value to prospective buyers. One essential tip is to remove more than you deem necessary to ensure there is absolutely no clutter left.

Street appeal

The façade and entrance of your home will inform the first impressions of potential buyers, so it is not one to neglect!

A fresh coat of paint on the fence, tidying up the front garden and a thorough clean of the driveway can make a world of difference to the appeal of your home. If you think the front of your house is looking a little bare, adding some plants and small decorative items can add the extra touch that you’re after.

Get the professional touch

There is a reason why professional home stylists exist because it’s not the most straightforward task! Getting the help of a stylist can take the aesthetic appearance of your home to the next level. Staging your property to sell can help increase its appeal to a broader market and also take away the stress of you having to think about the best way to decorate for open homes. Property stagers also have inside knowledge on how to style properties to encourage buyers to make a bid, for example, smart furniture layouts can open up a home, but this is something the untrained eye probably wouldn’t pick up on. Another thing to note is that these professionals are skilled at evoking emotion through the staging of a home, creating an emotional connection to the home for potential buyers is a significant influence on the success of your sales campaign!
