VIEWING HOME STAGING AS AN EXP S AN EXPENSE RATHER THAN AN INVES AN AN INVESTMENT
The amount you spend on staging your home can actually boost the sale in terms of time on market and price received. It can help you make more money. A typical home staging expenditure typically ranges from 1 to 3 percent of the home's listing price. On the other hand, it may result in selling the house for five to ten percent more. Since staging can help the home sell faster, the seller can save on mortgage payments as well as other property maintenance costs. Do not underestimate the miraculous impact that staging can create.
NOT REPAIRING AND CLEANIN G AND CLEANING THE HOME
Know that you are going to lose money on the sale of your home if you are not prepared to make repairs before listing it for sale. When you act ahead of time, it is less expensive to fix things, and it is an embarrassing (and costly) proposition to let potential buyers see the faults of the property during the open house. Likely, prospective buyers will offer significantly less or demand a credit for the expenses of the repairs that need to be completed before the deal closes. Experts say clutter is the culprit that eats away at equity and also kills deals. Decluttering the property can create a sense of spaciousness in a home. Clearing off the kitchen countertops, overflowing closets, and filled shelves in the den does not cost and brings ample reward. Clear the home of all unwanted things. Completely de-clutter the home immediately before listing.
