Selling Northwest Arkansas
Are you thinking of selling your home? Or is your home already on the market and your just not getting the feedback you desire? In Northwest Arkansas we have a great source in Donna Schoby, Ready, Set, Stage, who has given us five great tips on things you can do when selling your home to give it the edge.
How many times has this happened to you while having your home listed? Your home shows and the feedback is not negative the new prospective buyers didn’t not like your house but there was just something……..
It’s hard for most people to visualize anything other than what they see when viewing homes, so if you have a room that serves several purposes (i.e. a home office/exercise room or a guestroom/playroom, pick one purpose, and stick with it when staging your home.
Confused Rooms = Confused Buyers
It’s hard for most people to visualize anything other than what they see when viewing homes, so if you have a room that serves several purposes (i.e. a home office/exercise room or a guestroom/playroom, pick one purpose, and stick with it when staging your home.
Things To Do:
• Keep in mind that master bedrooms are for sleeping and relaxing, not for ironing, exercising, or gift wrapping. Make sure your master shows the potential buyer this will be a great place to unwind and relax.
• Remember that the dining room is one of the first rooms the buyers will see. Be sure to stage it as only a dining room, and not a craft area, study or catch all for toys and homework papers.
• Remember that the garage’s primary purpose is for parking cars. Empty the garage as best you can and show that at least one car can be parked in there.
• If you have a large space that has different purposes (i.e. a game room that serves as a play area for kids and a scrapbooking area for mom, set up clear zones to delineate the t.v. viewing area, the craft area, the game playing area, etc.

Are we headed for Broadway?
Not exactly but we are going to look into the art of staging your home.
With over 90% of home buyers searching online for a new home your home must make a great first impression. The first impression is a lasting impression! In a buyers market sellers compete with sellers. If buyers are not impressed what they see online they will move on to the next listing. Ready, Set, Stage! works with you and your Realtor to put your home on the “must see” list for today’s home buyers.
What is Home Staging?
Home Staging is the art of preparing your home to sell. It is not about decorating; Staging creates a lifestyle that buyers are looking for and helps them make an emotional connection to your home. In today’s competing market this is essential.
Why should I Stage my home?
BEFORE
When you make the decision to sell your home it becomes a product. Staging sets your home apart from competing homes on the market. Today’s buyers are looking for “move-in” ready homes. Staging is a marketing tool. When added to your Realtors marketing at plan you have homes that sells faster and for more of the asking price!
