Home Staging Success - Understanding Home Buyers Is the Key
Understanding Home Buyers: A Seller's Guide to Staging Success
The Power of The Seller's Marketing Advantage
Real estate and selling your home is more than just putting a for sale sign in the yard. Many intricate details go into it, and one of those is thinking like a buyer. Looking at it from the buyer's mindset brings a new perspective to selling and staging your home for market.
A Perfectly Targeted Audience: Most people aren't window shopping if they’ve come to look at your house. They have probably made a short list of homes they love after viewing them online and ensured your home had exactly what they were looking for (number of rooms, bathrooms, square footage, etc). They are primed and actively looking for their new place to call home.
A Captive Audience: Visiting your home isn't just a fleeting glance. A potential buyer will carefully and closely look at every single detail of your home - good, bad and in between. They will be taking it all in to make an informed decision.
The Opportunity for Multiple First Impressions: Each room in your house is new to the buyer, and that's a chance for you to make a great impression and for them to fall in love with that home. This is where they'll possibly raise a family and make memories, so every room is important.
For potential Buyers, Emotion is the Key to Home Purchases.
Creating "The One" Feeling: Our goal is simple – when buyers walk in, we want them to feel, "This is it. This is the one." We want buyers to feel an emotional connection to the home so they can imagine themselves and their future in that space. We base our staging techniques on establishing that connection.
Reinforcing Positive Impressions: When a potential client walks through the door, they will establish their first impression. Every room they walk into solidifies that first impression - whether good or bad, so ensuring every room exceeds their expectations is essential.
Making a House Feel Like Home: We create a warm, cozy and balanced space by highlighting the positives in every room and subtly downplaying any negatives.
Buyer Profiling: Perception Matters
Neatness Equals Care: A clean and maintained home portrays a positive image to potential buyers. When they see a house that's been cared for, they're more inclined to believe that bigger issues, like plumbing or electrical work, have also been maintained. This sense of trust and security can significantly sway their decision to purchase.
Personal Touches Through an Impersonal Lens
Seeing Through Buyer's Eyes: As mentioned above, by staging with the "buyer's eyes" approach, we assess each room and make sure it's staged to appeal universally.
Resonate with the Majority: Our staging subtly resonates with the 'majority' of people. Sticking to a neutral color palette and the right furniture ensures that most people will find it visually appealing, which helps create that emotional connection we're always discussing.
