CHAPTER 4
STAGING SOLUTIONS AND OPTIONS RENTING If you are still using the same furniture you bought before kids and pets, and it has seen better days, you might consider staging your home with rented furniture to make a “wow” first impression on your potential buyers. If your home is vacant, renting furniture to stage the home is not only convenient, but a smart move to get the most out of the sale.
According to Consumer Affairs Why you should stage your home if you want to sell it, July 7, 2017, you should not only clean your home from top to bottom before putting it on the market, but you should stage it with furniture and accessories that help the potential buyer see him/herself living in the home.
The article goes on to list the most important rooms that should be tastefully staged. The living room is at the top of the list, followed by the master bedroom, kitchen, and outdoor space. Interestingly, the guest bedroom ranked last in importance. Take a close look at your current furnishings. Remove worn or dingy items and then take inventory of what’s left after grandpa’s favorite recliner is safely tucked away in storage. If the home appears overly bare, determine whether or not you could use a fewmore pieces.The investment you put into renting additional pieces will pay big dividends in the end when you get your asking price for the home.
