​3 Tips Home Staging to Transform a House for Sale into a Potential Ho

Home Staging is one way to sell a home; as opposed to just selling your buyer a piece of property, it’s

about selling them a concept and idea of how they will live in this home. Both your business acumen

and your creativity to strike a balance between what your clients wants and what they need; and of

course, it’s about you making the sale! Home staging is fast gaining popularity, as potential home

buyers require authenticity in all the purchases they make. Home staging takes  property jobs to the

next level, where you get to use your creative flair to seal a property deal. Clients need to be able

imagine their life in this new home, with their family, where their kids will play and how they will leave

on a daily basis.

1. It’s all about perspective

Try to imagine the home from the viewer’s perspective; take a moment to stand outside the house

and perhaps take a picture to take notice of any flaws as a prospective walks in or drives in. Then

take a thorough tour through the house and decide how you will decorate it to suit a prospective

buyer’s needs. If the house is still occupied then have a talk with the home owner about getting rid of

clutter and ensuring that the house is neat for viewings, even if it means hiring extra help.

2. Space, Cleanliness and Colour

Space is very important because the potential homeowner needs to have an idea of where they will

put certain items and utilise the space. Also, it’s important to make sure that the house is clean from

top to bottom ensuring that the house is clear of cobwebs, dust, stains and any other dirt that may put

a viewer off. If the space needs to be repainted then it’s best to make sure that you choose neutral

colours to bring the property to life.

3. Less is More

If you’re staging an empty house; be sure to use minimal decoration and don’t overwhelm the client

with your personal taste; leave room for them to use their imagination. Some people are even known

to purchase a staged house as is if it meets their tastes so be prepared to partly invest in staging a

house.
