Staging to Sell

Careful home staging is an established method applied to sell a house here in North Kingstown, Rhode Island. Home staging benefits include less time on the market and higher selling prices. And you should definitely decide on professional home staging if you need a quick home sale.

Think of staging your house as creating a "style" for your house like a manager would do for a high profile celebrity. Just like creating a style garners more positive publicity to a public figure, staging makes your home more inviting on the market.

Preparing your property to sell shouldn't be thought of as a problem. It can actually be enjoyable. Together, we'll work to get a high bid for your house. Start with this home staging advice and you'll see that your house sits fewer months on the market :

Curb Appeal Checklist

Begin with the exterior of your home, also called your curb appeal. Inspect the exterior of your house from a quick glance from the street. What do you notice first? What wonderful features seem to fade into the background?Acknowledging this helps us to choose what we can do to entice buyers from the street and into your house. If your house isn't the best it can look on the outside with refreshed paint and colorful greenery it's time to get those things done. Follow the Curb Appeal Checklist and increase your house's final selling price.

Welcome Home Checklist

Could a buyer envision themselves enjoying game night in your living space, unwinding in your master bedroom or getting work done in your home office? I want your house to welcome buyers and offer them a sense of comfort. I'll help you achieve this by suggesting changes that highlight your house's features. I'll help you put in storage anything that gives the look of clutter. Tabletops should be free and clear. Kitschy sculptures, sentimental items, family photos, and kids' drawings should get stored away too. You need to remove the personal details from the house so buyers can picture it as their new home.

I know instantly what a room's best features are and how to show them off. I'll note the pieces of furniture that should be rearranged, rooms that need new paint, rugs needing to get changed, fixtures that need shining, and any other improvement that can easily be made to positively influence the sale.

I'll make sure that your house is appealing and that it's comfortable, staying away from "loud" or "personalized" shades on the walls and furniture. And if you've already moved out, you can try borrowing furniture. The goal is for your house to look inviting as opposed to bare and uninhabited.

Setting the Stage

In the short time that your house will be on the market, we want to capture buyers' attention.

We'll add cozy-looking blankets, and pillows on your sofa and bed. We want buyers to feel like your house is their future home.
