Are
you selling your home? Who are you preparing your home to sell to? Home
staging tips from Design Psychology expert Jeanette Fisher help you
prepare your home for a top-dollar sale.
Who are you preparing your home to sell to?
You, as a home seller, have two initial choices.
1. Sell your home as a bargain to investors or bargain shoppers with limited income, or
2. Sell your home for top dollar to your target market.
To prepare your home to sell to investors and bargain shoppers, all you
need to do is look for a real estate agent who advertises bargain
houses. This agent will list your home under market value. Then sit
back, watch TV, and sell your home for a rock-bottom price. Don't be
surprised when you get many offers for lower than your asking price
right away.
If you want to work a little, or perhaps a lot, you can sell your home
for top dollar. Explore ways to create a buyers' dream home. Because
buyers let their emotions rule their decisions, stage your home for
your specific buyer profile.
To sell your home for market value quickly, remove all your personality
from the home. Besides getting rid of clutter, pack your family photos,
children's artwork, trophies, and personal effects. Buyers want to
envision their belongings in their new home.
Design Psychology home staging strategies include setting up spaces
with suggested activities that buyers perceive as a lifestyle change.
You want home shoppers to think that if they choose your home, they
will enjoy a new life.
Get busy removing clutter, packing memorabilia, home staging, and
prepare your home for a top-dollar sale. Don't be surprised when you
get many offers for more than your asking price right away.
