Universal Appeal
Universal appeal is the goal of all good
home staging designs.
While the old saying tells “You can’t please everyone, all the time”,
home stagers
do just that…Appealing to the masses is the precise nature of
what home staging is
all about. Quality
staging techniques
will help you to
sell your home
by making it far more desirable to many more people. To put it simply, staging will turn a home which suits YOUR tastes into a home which suits EVERYONE’S tastes.
Universal Appeal Information
Let’s start out by saying that there is nothing at all wrong with your taste and style. Your house is your home and it is all the combined possessions and memories which give this simple piece of real estate meaning for you and your family. This is logical and wonderful. However, you are not trying to keep this property… You are trying to SELL it. Therefore, you need to accept that what is precious to you, may not be appealing to a prospective buyer. This is where
home staging
becomes your best friend, your most effective ally and the jewel in the crown of your real estate marketing plan.
Creating Universal Appeal
Home stagers will use general and specific
staging strategies
to improve the look, feel and flow of your house or
apartment.
Some of the most common applications of home staging include:
* Declutter
the space and organize the remaining possessions to make the home seem larger and more functional.
* Depersonalize
taste specific colors,
décor
and furnishings to remove the present owner’s footprint on the home and allow potential buyers to see themselves living in the space.* Update and improve the
aesthetics of the home.
* Market the property, the layout and the choice of room function to the specific target demographic which is likely to make offers on the house.
Universal Appeal Advice
Selling a home can be stressful and may force you to make sacrifices and compromises. You can keep your home exactly the way it is and ignore staging. In this case, your sacrifice is to wait and wait while your home remains on the market unsold. When it finally does sell, your further sacrifice is to accept far less money (up to 17% less) than if the property were staged… The benefit you gain is that you do not have to move those dusty old photos or clean out those closets. You do not have to start packing in anticipation of your move, since your home is unlikely to sell anyway…If you decide to stage, then your sacrifice is time and effort, as well as a possible monetary investment. You may have to put some of your items in storage and may have to work harder at keeping your home clean and neat. However, the effort will net you a quick and highly profitable sale, which can amount to an additional $10,000 to $50,000 on an average priced house! You tell me what the smart decision is…
