Attracting Buyers Without Breaking the Bank

A slower market means sellers can no longer be guaranteed of having their pick of tens of offers for properties showing everyday wear and tear. Staging a home by giving it a thorough cleaning and some decorator touches may be extremely vital to selling a home. Sellers work within a budget from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars to prepare the home for sale, but some of the most critical fixes don't cost a thing.
When to Call the Pros:
Once personal items and extra furniture have been removed, sellers may want to invest some money in hiring professional cleaners to clean the carpets and wash the windows. Sellers looking to keep staging expenses small and not disrupting too much of their daily routine may want to focus on the exterior of the home...curb appeal is what’s likely to get buyers interested in seeing the inside.
Rooms that Sell the House:
Interested in increasing asking price and generating more interest in your property? Then spend the few extra dollars and spruce up the kitchen and the bathrooms. People underestimate the high impact of just swapping out the cabinet hardware and faucets for updated styles. If you have a larger budget to play with then consider upgrading the countertop, replacing a laminate flooring with an alternative to hardwood or tile. Sellers need to keep in mind that buyers may have a different taste and a few staging updates might prove more attractive to buyers than being stuck with an expensive upgrade that they don't like.
Staging:
It's likely that a designer that doesn’t have the emotional attachment to the property can better dress a home for the widest range potential buyers. If the budget allows hire a professional stager or ask your Realtor if they can recommend someone.
