According to a report just out, it is too easy to be fooled by home staging. Home staging is a term that we are gradually becoming familiar with. Creating the best impression of our home when we are selling the house is what this idea is all about. It used to be just run the vacuum over it and do the dishes but nowadays there is a whole set of rules to follow!
The idea is that a staged home gets sold more quickly because of the fact that it stands out from all the others. It certainly can be carried to extremes with reports of sellers hiring storage units to cart their junk off to. Encouraged to be put into the storage by professional 'home stagers' are larger furniture in order for the house to look bigger and more spacious.
If you want the prospective buyer to visualize the house as their own, then another instruction is to remove anything personal like photographs. In order for closets to look more spacious, they are de-cluttered and from the counter top, all the bathroom paraphernalia should be removed. You should also remove garbage bins and hide them from sight.
However, it has been suggested to in order to hide a multitude of sins, home staging can also be deliberately used.
The NAEBA or National Association of Exclusive Buyer Agents, who solely represent buyers in the realty business, has suggested that there are about 82% of buyers who are sidetracked from the important issues by a well-staged house. Home staging nets more cash and faster sales which means that it works and this has been conceded by this very organization.
In staging, there are some underhand tricks that are used and these include using smaller furniture to make a room look larger, placing rugs over damaged parts of the floor, or using curtains to hide rotting sills. The practice of putting a cheap paint job on in order to cover the defects is also specified. Legally obligated to let you know of any defects is your Realtor but this is true if he actually knows about them.
Buyers are urged by the NAEBA to be cautious and to remember that when the house is sold, the stage is taken away. The floor plan, the square footage of the home, or the quality of the neighborhood will not be improved by the tricks of home staging and these qualities are what you will be re-selling at a later date.
