Exterior Design – 3 Tips To Stage The Outside Of Your Home
Are you unsure where to start if you consider putting your house up for sale? Are you afraid that you won’t get the price that you want or it will take too long to sell? Then staging your home, or setting the scene for immediate buyer interest in your property, is what you need to do.
You need to look at both the inside and outside of your house to be really effective. Here are 3 tips to get you started with the outside of your home:
Stand on the street so that you can see what clients see when they drive up to the house. If landscaping is not maintained or if the paint is peeling, then negative impressions would be created and it will make them think that the house has not been well taken care of. You may have spent time and money fixing the interior, but all would be wasted if a bad first impression is what clients would get as they drive up the house.
The next thing you need to do is step outside your front door and close the door, stand on the stoop and for 5 minute, look around. The Realtor would try to figure out how to open the door and fumbles with the keys while the clients would stand behind and look around. What do they see? Are old Halloween decorations in the middle of January, cobwebs, and dead plants what they see? This would also be a bad impression!
Having it cleaned up will definitely be worth it. You can even go a step further. Try a new coat of paint or some new furniture or accessories.
Don’t forget the backyard. While that might not be part of the potential buyers’ first impression experience, you still should make sure it’s in the best condition possible. Pull up weeds, water plants, do some sweeping (if that’s applicable in your case) and maybe even purchase new furniture or accessories (plant pots, bird houses, etc.)
What is the biggest tip of all? Imagine yourself as a potential buyer looking at your property for the very first time. Are you getting any impressions? Being the potential buyer, would you consider buying your house? What would you like to see changed before you put an offer on your house?
Several thousand dollars is what you may have to spend to sell your house but not to worry, when your sells you will get it all back. Helping you sell your house in a shorter time and at the price you want is proper staging.
