Here are tips for home staging an empty property


Home staging a property at Forest Hills TN Real Estate is not an energy draining job, but if you get to stage an empty property, it could be a challenging job. Most common people who hire home stagers are those who just moved into another home, so the house was empty. If you yourself just moved into a new place, you can ask your real estate agent if he can recommend a home staging business  to do the job.


Now, if you are thinking of how much you will have to spend on staging your empty home, the cost of professional home staging varies, based on the market you're in and the level of sophistication that your home needs to portray to get the asking price you desire. There are home staging professionals who have their own sets of furniture and they will use that and then just charge you for the time the job consumed. While there are others who will just purchase furniture for the home staging and then charge you with their time rendered and for the amount they spent in buying the sets of furniture.

The following are the tips that you can use when staging your empty home:

1.  Limited number of furniture. You are one step ahead of the staging job like in the site http://nashvillerealestateadviser.com/franklin-tn-real-estate/ Real Estate in Franklin TN if your home is totally empty. This just means that you have a clean slate; you can easily do whatever way you want the home to be staged to attract some specific buyers you have in mind.

Just in case that the home is not totally empty, e.i. There are still some furniture and other personal things of the previous owner, you have to put all of those in the storage room. If it is possible, present a limited number of furniture and accessories.

2.  Identify the buyers. It is very important that you know the buyers before you start your the job. Ask the following questions: what is my target market and who belongs to that market? Just for example, if your target market is starting families? If so, plan the job that will appeal to that buyer. Remember also that your goal in doing the job is to create a specific mood.

3.  Avoiding showing your personal preferences. If you want to your home to be sold right after the buyer’s visit, avoid showing off your personal preferences. For example, do not stage your home with references to your religion. The buyers might be of some other religion and so they could be turned off or worst, they might feel offended.
