furniture will pay off when the home sells.
Much of the time, some rental items are required to really create the effect you want, and even staging experts hired by homeowners resort to renting when in need of furniture. Furniture rental companies normally provide the furniture, the trucks, and the man-power to get it to its destination. The downside is that they also normally require a three-month minimum rental period. Three months to sell a home is not unusual, and of course, if you happen to sell your home sooner, you’re not out any extra money for returning the furniture early.
AFFORDABLE OPTIONS
When exploring staging options, it is possible to become overwhelmed by the price tag of renting or acquiring furniture to stage the empty home. By taking the time to refresh, polish, reevaluate, and rearrange your current possessions, you will find that you may not have to rent much furniture at all. This can save you money. What else can save money and help make the sale? Here are some tips and ideas to consider: • Create a purpose for each room. Each room needs a purpose or suggested use so that the prospective buyer’s imagination sees to possibilities. A third bedroom might be framed as a den or study. An empty room used for overflow of boxes, possessions, or unwanted items should be transformed into a usable, desirable space. Clean it out and create an office space with a desk and chair or a reading room with a lamp and recliner. Exercise equipment might be arranged to feature it as a workout
