STAGING TULSA

Other than the fact that I didn't have a very good camera at the time, these home staging before and after photos show why it can be much better for the sale of your home, to bring in a professional home stager. Let me explain.

In this photo, the home owner had staged her house herself. Before she had scheduled with us, this home owner had gone through the house and packed up items she felt were not necessary in showing her home. Her fellow Realtors then toured the home, confirming it's readiness. It was still too taste specific (personal taste).

Okay, now think about this: How can someone depersonalize their own home when they are the ones who decorated it in the first place? It is a personalized home and trying to take oneself out of the home is virtually impossible. True, you can bring friends over, but are they going to know what needs to stay, what needs to go and where it all needs to be placed for a sellable presentation? Are they concerned with hurting your feelings? This is where you could drop the ball with preparing your home for the real estate market.

Home Staging is not decorating... it is MARKETING. Knowing and understanding this concept is the beginning of selling your home quicker and for more profit.

Take a look at the photo again. Do you find yourself looking at the things in the home (lower pic) or can you see how much easier it is to see the HOUSE (above pic) and not the decorating.The room look much larger too.

PLUS, this may not be a style you like at all and getting past it may be difficult. This personal style is BRANDING this home with its style. Here is why.

90% of home buyers cannot visualize their things in your home. They will use what is or is not in the home for help in trying to 'see' in their minds eye, what their furnishings will look like and how they will or will not fit things into the house. 10% are left with the ability to visualize.

Be sure to ask your self: how does my house and yard look and how do the internet photos look? 

And don't forget, home staging is MARKETING.

Hope to talk to you soon.
