Apartment Staging
Apartment Staging for SaleApartments which are to be sold often require considerable home staging to enhance their aesthetic appeal and differentiate them from the competition. Salable apartments can consist of townhouses, condominiums, coops, lofts or duplexes. Although staging can do little to change the impact (positive or negative) of the location of the building, the common areas or the amenities (or lack of), at least staging the unit will make the living space sparkle and bring out the charm offered by the interior of the residence. Apartments should be staged exactly like comparable sized private homes, with attention paid to each area of the floor plan. Apartments for sale should be staged to truly bring out the best features, such as a nice view, large rooms, high ceilings, a corner or top floor unit, an outdoor terrace or deck and original building architecture.Apartment Staging for RentalsRental units can also be easily staged to give them more appeal to prospective renters. Setting up the unit with coordinated furnishings and a cohesive décor will make it seem more enticing to any renter, since the floor plan will be optimized for flow and feel. Many landlords give prospective tenants the option of renting the unit fully furnished, which can bring in additional income month after month… Not only can this arrangement completely pay for the furnishings, but it can also add to the profitability of the unit indefinitely. If the tenant does not need the furnishings, they can be returned to the rental center or kept in storage until another unit becomes available and reused to stage time and time again. A variety of staging furniture, art and accessories is certainly a good investment for any moderate to large sized rental building.Apartment Staging AdviceHiring a home stager to prepare an apartment unit for sale or rental is one of the best investments an owner or landlord can sink into their property. Home staging is one of the best values in real estate marketing, dollar for dollar and comes with the added benefit of being tax deductibleRemember that apartments often have selling features not located directly inside the unit. These may include gyms, rooftop decks, common areas, storage facilities, parking spaces, pools and even child daycare services. If the unit does have any of these wonderful amenities available, make sure to highlight them to prospective buyers. Remember, the more your unit can offer in terms of space, location and functionality, the more potential buyers will see the value and do whatever it takes to own the property as their own!
