Sell with Michelle

Ever wonder why some houses sell faster than others?

It's all about getting dressed. It's about fixing your hair...putting your make up and making sure you look great.

You wouldn't attend a business meeting in your pj's , would you? No! Instead you would present yourself as polished, clean and maybe even a little spiffed up. In the same way that we judge others by how they look, buyers instinctively lean towards houses that are polished, clean and smell delicious.

The art of selling is more than a "floor-so-clean-you-can-eat-off-of-it". It's more than a lick of fresh white paint. It's evolved beyond baking a batch of chocolate cookies while your buyers browse.

Staging to sell is about evoking warm fuzzy feelings in potential buyers, enticing them to stay and imagine their things in your home. It's choosing paint colors that sooth and appeal to your buyer audience. It's replacing a tired look with a fresh and modern one. It's moving bulk out, cleaning the closets, leaving the bare essentials. Sometimes it's renting a new couch for a few weeks or adding a few new decorative items to your walls. Lots can be done with what you already have!

Staging is all about buyers. It's that first impression when they walk in, it's the confidence that your home portrays, it's the fine details, the way the room is arranged, the feeling of space. It's all about them, your buyer.

As a seller, you have one chance to show them what you've got. Your house has to shine on it's own.

As your realtor, I can help show you the best way to showcase your home to appeal to buyers. Together we can work on a plan designed to get you moving. Call me now at 519-808-4521.
