KATV: Tips for Updating Your Home for Sale
If you’re looking to sell your home, make sure to follow these proven tips from Showhomes Home Staging.
The summer months are the busiest time of year for buying and selling homes. In competitive market, making a house visually appealing to a buyer can make all the difference; that’s where Showhomes Home Staging comes in.
Mark and Dana Baggett, Showhomes franchisees, suggest making simple fixes like replacing outdoor plants that have wilted in the heat and updating knobs on hardware that may have either weathered or become outdated to help entice a potential buyer.
“People aren’t looking for fixer uppers anymore,” Mark told KATV. “Buyers don’t have time to invest into fixing up the house.”
With shows that offer many DIY techniques and channels dedicated to home improvement, many buyers have unrealistic expectations for how a home should look. Showhomes creates an atmosphere that matches buyer’s expectations. They not only increase the visual appeal for a faster sale but ultimately also the selling price.
“We’re making sure that the carpet, walls, the ceilings are what they need to be,” Mark told KATV. “If you’re selling your home, you’re competing against other homes on the market. If you walk into a home and it’s dated, well then you’re competing against the brand new houses. We want to bring that house up to market level so you have the highest sale price.”
