Is your home buyer friendly?

The way you live in a home and the way you sell it are two very different things.

When it’s time to sell your home, you need to think like a buyer. The first impression makes all the difference. A potential buyer needs to be able to imagine living in the home. They are easily distracted by clutter, loud colors or too many personal items such as family photographs and extensive memorabilia collections. That’s where Chestnut Hill Realty can help. We offer a unique service called Styled to Sell that will show you how to dress your home for success so it conveys a sense of space, order, comfort and light.

Our trained Professionals will develop a customized plan to enhance your property’s appeal. Homes that are professionally Staged generally sell more quickly and for an average of 10% more than homes that are not Staged – a difference of thousands of dollars.

What does Staging® a home mean?

When you get ready to place your home on the market for sale it becomes a product. Similar to a product on the shelf at your local store, your home has features and benefits as well as pluses and minuses – and competition. To compete effectively, you must be priced right and look better than the other products. Homes are no different. Yours is one of many homes for sale, and you must present it to potential buyers in the best possible light.

Staging® is the process of preparing a home for sale. Using a proven set of professional guidelines and techniques. Home Staging® plans cover all the details, including repairs, landscaping and detailed room-by-room suggestions that will help your property stand out.

Does home Staging work?

Yes. The majority of Staged homes sell within 60 days, and many sell much sooner. On average, Staged homes sell for approximately 10% more than homes that are not Staged.

When should the Staging professional be brought into the sales process?

Ideally, home Staging® should occur before the property is put on the market. Most of the buyer activity occurs in the first few weeks.

Why should I invest more money in a home I’m about to sell?

When you list your home for sale, it becomes a house. That house becomes a product for sale on the open market. Staging® is an effective marketing tool. You are optimizing the appeal and sales price potential with the time and energy you invest in getting your home ready for sale. The investment of Staging® your home is less than your first price reduction.
