Staging Philosophy
My Pretty Cape House has one goal – to help you sell your home quickly and for the highest possible price. Staging increases the likelihood of this happening as research has shown that only 10% of people can visualize how their decor would look in a house.
As a seller, your job is to help people see themselves living in your home. You do this by “de-personalizing” the house and decorating in a neutral way that appeals to the masses. When you stage your house, you’re essentially removing yourself so that others may insert themselves.
We cater to home sellers who are looking for a competitive marketing edge when selling their home. We provide you with detailed recommendations in order for you to complete the necessary preparatory work. Then we plan and execute your home staging project from start to finish.
The Power of Staging
Staged properties attract more potential buyers.
83% of buyers’ agents said staging a home made it easier for a buyer to visualize the property as a future home. Staging is actually undecorating and depersonalizing.
Buyers will have a favorable first impression.
You’ve heard the phrase “curb appeal” before. This is the positive first impression people get when they see your home online or in-person for the first time. If your house is “showcase” ready you put buyers in a positive frame of mind before they even walk through the front door.
Staging makes you stand out against your competition.
63% of buyers will pay more money for a house that is move-in ready. Staging often raises the value of a property by reducing the home’s flaws, de-cluttering, cleaning, and making it look its best with furniture placement, lighting, color and accessorizing. Staging gives your home the appearance of a better value.
Staging maximizes space.
The art of home staging gives every room a purpose and makes the house look larger. You want to remove clutter, over-sized furniture, personal items and knickknacks. Then arrange furniture in a way that maximizes usable space within the house. Remember some buyers have limited vision when it comes to the purpose of a room.
Staging justifies your asking price.
Buyers today are savvy about property values. So, you can be sure that potential buyers will scrutinize your asking price. If you stage your house, you’ll have an easier time justifying the price. Your listing has the most momentum during the first several weeks of listing. A strategy of lowering the asking price instead of showcasing your home initially is a mistake that many homeowners make.
