RAISE THE CURTAIN

By Mike Lightbourn

BOTH homeowners and real estate agents are best served when a home sells quickly for a good price.

There are several steps both parties can take to achieve this goal.

Whether the local market is hot or cool, statistics reveal that a “Staged” home will usually sell faster and for a better price, provided it’s priced properly from the start.

This service is called Staging because it’s basically about showing off and improving a home’s best assets.

A professional Stager assesses your home’s strongest and weakest features and creates a series of points sure to appeal to your “audience” of buyers.

While staging is important, there are four major areas that must be tackled first: cleanliness, openness, colour, and... compromise.

• Cleaning your home seems obvious, but we’re talking about the deep cleaning treatment here.

• Openness means removing all clutter as well as arranging (or removing) furnishings to give a sense of space.

• The colours in your home and on its walls also convey this idea. Dark colours make a room seem smaller and light colours make it seem bigger.

But what about that “compromise” part? It simply means that we all understand that lack of time or budget makes it necessary to focus on those improvements that will have the biggest impact.

THE TRIBUNE, HOME BUYERS’ GUIDE

Staging Explained The most common rooms that are staged include the living room, kitchen, master bedroom and the dining room.

The least common room to stage is a guest bedroom.

Typical staging methods includes: • Going neutral. Professionals agree neutral colours positively influence buyers. Bright colours may help homeowners express their personality, but they can be a real turn-off to others.

Neutral colours are not distracting and allow buyers to visualise what they might like to do with the walls. One of the best things you can do when staging a home is paint the walls in neutral tones.

• Make a good first impression. The front entrance to your property is the first thing a buyer will see. From the front gate to the front door, everything should be clean and orderly. Add a simple doormat and a potted flowering plant at the front door. Keep the space simple but welcoming.

• Focus on fresh. Place a flowering potted orchid or green plant indoors and make sure there are no pet odours or stale smells. Sprinkle baking soda on the floor and furniture and vac it up after two hours to eliminate odours.

If the odour lingers, place bowls of baking soda around the room and leave overnight. The soda will absorb the odours.

• If you don’t have them already, invest in a few attractive, but simple throw cushions for your sofa and master bed. Plump up the pillows and pillow shams.

BE PREPARED!

The season officially BEGAN on JUNE 1, 2019, and will END on NOVEMBER 30, 2019
