Real Estate Redesign – A benefit for home sellers and real estate agents

If you are getting ready to sell your home, you will want to read this…

There is a service known by many names, real estate redesign, preparing your home for sale, home staging, etc. that can help you get top dollar for your home and give you the edge you need in a competitive market. This service will prepare your home by helping you de-clutter, choose new paint options, get the best curb appeal, and many other things.

Potential buyers want to envision themselves in your home. It is important that you remove the imprint you or your family has made on the home. I’m not talking about the fingerprints from the walls either, although that is important. I am talking about personal items that generally make a house a home. Buyers have a hard time seeing past your stuff to see the house, it’s the way the human eye works.

Some suggestions:

• Start your packing – Reducing the amount of objects that the eye has to look at will better allow the buyer to see the house./li>
• De-personalize – Take down family photos and religious items
• Clean – Clean everything. Think about hiring a one time cleaning service to get the kitchen and bathrooms to sparkle.
• Re-position your furniture – Ensure the best possible features of the room are showcased.

Studies have shown that a properly prepared home will not only sell faster, but will also command a higher asking price. Potential buyers will have a hard time finding things that will justify making a lower bid. In addition, the home will look so good that there may be multiple offers, which could generate a higher selling price.

Generally, a Redesigner will walk through your home and give you a detailed list on what you need to do to get your home ready for showings. Some services will actually do the work for you.

Today’s busy homeowner doesn’t have time to take down wallpaper, clean out the garage or organize closets. There is a lot to do in the preparation of selling a home.

Real estate agents have been recommending this service for years; finally there are companies out there to help. Agents know that a properly prepared home will sell faster. This enables them to close on your house quickly, thus resulting in fewer marketing costs. In addition, their commission may be higher because a properly prepared home generally will sell for, at, or above the asking price.

It is a win-win situation for home sellers and agents alike.
