Great Photos are like Great Home Stagings

Home Staging is all about a great presentation and helping home shoppers with a great connection. 

Guess what… so are the internet photos.

Let me ask you a few questions. The two photos are of the same room that was staged by our Staging Tulsa home stager, which master bedroom can you ‘feel’ or envision yourself  living in? Which one offers you more connection to the room? How do your internet photos look or how do you want them to look?

Today, the internet is where we shop for homes. Think for a moment of your listing photos as your property’s ‘store front’.  Think of a real estate search site as ‘The Mall’ and your property listing is a store within The Mall. At The Mall, shoppers walk by looking in the stores, checking out what is in the display window to see if they are interested in going inside. This is exactly what  happens with  home buyers.  Thanks to iPhones, lap tops office PCs and home PCs, we can cover many ‘stores’ in a small amount of time, almost any time we want.

There are many homes for sale… which photos will catch the eyes of the home buyer… will it be yours?

Lots of traffic is the number one goal of your listing photos. If your photos are not generating traffic then there is something that needs attention… talk to your Realtor.

Great Photos are like Great Home Stagings,

they invite a home buyer to pick up the phone and call their Realtor.

Doggie Doors - Take 'em or Leave 'em

Doggie doors are one on the greatest inventions of ALL time. My cats use their "window door" all of the time. It was so nice to finally get them trained... now I am free. But, what if I don't have a dog or cat - this means I will need to replace the door after I move in. Home owners today generally don't have the time or energy to make changes to their newly purchased home right at or soon after they move in.. Most likely, they have been busy updating THEIR OWN home for sale and now don't want to buy a house that will need more of the same... at least not right away. Most everything you will do to your house in preparation to sale, will bring you great returns... including a sale!

If you can, replace doggie doors before you list especially if it is on the inside of the home. These are the doors that are easier to replace. In this photo, the homeowner had this hollow core door replaced and it took this room from looking like a room next to the garage (this door went into the laundry room) to looking "dressed" to be simply a nice sellable room.

 Put your self behind the home buyer's eyes.

 Think about what they may want, not what you have liked while you lived in and loved this home.

This room looks fresh with no sign of pets.

The home owners also took out the cabinet over the counter to give this potential office area a look of sophistication.

This is what HOME STAGING is all about.
