Do you want to sell your house or apartment and are wondering how best to go about it? Alongside professional photos, a comprehensive sales document and a catchy ad title, home staging plays a central role in achieving a fast, successful sale. But what exactly does ‘home staging’ mean?
Anyone preparing their home for sale should consider home staging, as it ensures you show the best side of your property. A warm and inviting atmosphere shouldn’t just come across in photos but also during viewings, and a successful home staging means you will not only sell your property faster, you can also often sell for a higher price.
But how do you achieve the perfect staging? With our tips for a successful property sale, you can show your home in the best light so that prospective buyers feel at home from the moment they walk in.
Transform your property into a potential home for prospective buyers! Put away family photos, holiday souvenirs and other personal mementoes – that way, visitors will be much better able to envisage each room as their own new home.
Before the first photos are taken, clear out your belongings and make sure the entire house is spotlessly clean, including the garden. A clean house and a beautifully tidy environment automatically appear more inviting and more valuable, creating a positive first impression
Viewings often take place in the evening, when lighting that is too weak or too strong can disrupt the staging. That’s why a good lighting concept is part of home staging. Ensure that you use neutral, warm white light and create accents with floor or table lamps. During the day, you should open all of the curtains to allow more daylight in.
With these three tips, you already know a lot about the proper staging of your property for sale. But do you want to benefit from all of the advantages of home staging, a shorter time on the market and the highest possible selling price? Then it’s worth seeking professional home staging. At Engel & Völkers, home staging has long been a part of our marketing service. You can make use of home staging services as required, from simple consultancy right up to full professional implementation.
