Staging...getting it Done !

Getting your house ready to Sell? As Important as Pricing it correctly, it must be "magazine ready" ! it's possible if you take it step by step! Just think that staging it correctly will give you a higher NET $$ to your pocket 😉 at Closing. Remember the important "C" of staging: Clean, Clutter, Color, Creativity & Commitment. A good practice is to take pictures as your house is before staging. Usually what the camera sees and what we see are different scenes 😳, so be ready to rearrange, put away, store, patch and paint walls, ...until what you see through the camera shots is what you would like to see when purchasing a house. There must be commitment to make it happen. In conclusion, try to see your house through the buyers eyes..As you have never seen it before ! Thinking on Selling or Buying RE in So Florida?

Staging guidelines to follow when ready to SELL....

Hello again my dear friends, the following are 101 for "Ready, Stage & Sell" 1. Pack up before showing the house, even before doing marketing it and having the professional photography taken Its easier for the future to mentally move in. Be very organized in the process, boxes and containers should be piled up and in the corners of the rooms....and please don't pack the garage, buyers need to visualize this space as well ☺ 2. Maintain the house clean, specially the floors and mainly the kitchen and bathroom floors! Clean houses look better, and buyers assume a clean house is a well maintained house. Clean doors, windows, kitchen appliances & remember..."if you can Smell it, you can't sell it 😳 important, smell inspect your house; kitchen floor, bathrooms, bedrooms, carpets, curtains, the pool, the garden, etc. 3. Maintain the house Clutter free ! Cluttered rooms shows stressed, absolves All energy of the space. Clutter is al that stuff you just don't use everyday...and that can be packed before showing the house. Important, Reevaluate the clutter in the kitchen, in the walls, in the closets. In synthesis; buyers want light bright rooms, uncluttered & fresh rooms, clean spaces. Thinking on selling ? Give us a call, we are SellingMiamiEstates Espie Franky 305.283.5868

Note you never get a 2nd chance to make a good impression ☺ The goal to do staging is not to offer furniture for sale; selling a house is what home staging is about! Think the following: Staging is about using accessories & furniture in new ways Staging is having less around for you Staging is about giving a fresh look to the properties curb appeal Staging is about the palet of colors chosen for inside & out Staging is about clearing your house so that the buyers can envision it as their new home !!
