Selling Your Home

Is Your House Ready For The Spotlight?

Walking into an open house the prospective buyer enters a house overcrowded with furniture, dull paint, closets bursting at the hinges and a refrigerator taken hostage by its magnets! Could they see themselves living here? No way!

A few weeks later the same buyer opens the newly painted front door to the smell of fresh flowers and cookies. The kitchen is pristine, all the clutter gone, gorgeous wood floors are exposed in an enormous airy living room, and the closets are huge and organized! Every room is brighter and more cheerful than they remembered. As they walk out the front door they can see themselves living in the home as they are already calling it “ours!”

With just a few changes a house that has that “lived in” look can be transformed to look like a page from a magazine, spending little money and using the things you already own. Jace Interiors specializing in real estate staging can make this type of transformation your reality in just a few short hours . As a professional stager, I work with the seller to show off all the best features of their home. It could be a wonderful front porch that becomes a cozy sitting area, a bedroom that is an escape from everyday life or a kitchen that is inviting place for family and friends to gather.

A few helpful hints when selling your home:

• Clear out any clutter from each room
• Put away personal photos
• If a room’s paint looks dull, paint a fresh coat
• Arrange furniture so it invites you into the room

Not only does a real estate stager make suggestions on paint colors, furniture placement, and overall organization but they can help you decrease the sale time of your house by highlighting all the reasons why you love and bought this house in the first place!
