Together, we'll strive for an exceptional offer for your house. To see less time on the market in BAKERSFIELD, start with these home staging tips:

Curb Appeal Checklist

Begin with the outside of your house, or your curb appeal. Examine the exterior of your house from the view of a passerby. What jumps out at you? What dollar-earning characteristics seem hidden?Acknowledging this helps us to choose what steps we can take to draw buyers from the street and into your house. If your home's exterior isn't up to par with refreshed paint and blooming greenery we'll need to tackle those as well. Refer to the Curb Appeal Checklist and elevate your house's final selling price.

Welcome Home Checklist

Can buyers see themselves lounging in your living room, relaxing in your reading nook or hosting a dinner in your dining room? I want your home to pleasantly accept buyers and give them a sense of contentment. I'll help you accomplish this by recommending small improvements that enhance your house's features. I'll tell you put in storage items that give the impression of clutter. Surface areas like tables, desks and counters should be clutter-free. Knickknacks, souvenirs, family photos, and kids' works of art should get stored away too. I can help you de-clutter your house. Unattractive or messy spaces make your home look less spacious and buyers have a more difficult time picturing themselves calling your property "home".

I'll look over each room of your home. I'll note the pieces of furniture that should be put in storage, rooms that need a fresh coat of paint, carpet needing to be changed, fixtures that need brightening, and any other improvement that can quickly be made to positively impact the sale.

I'll make sure that your house has mass appeal and that it's inviting, staying away from "loud" or "can't-work-with" hues on the walls and furniture. And if the house is empty, you can try renting furniture. The goal is for your home to look ready to live in as opposed to abandoned.

Setting the Stage

I'll tell you when to host an Open House, because everything comes together to set the stage for what buyers can envision after they choose to buy your house. Brightening up each room is of major importance, so we'll do things like part the curtains and reduce shadows where needed to welcome the buyer. Together we'll enhance the ambiance with enjoyable music playing lightly and ensure a nice fragrance flows from every room. We'll add cozy-looking bedspreads, and pillows on your love seat and bedding. Buyers should feel like your current home has the potential to be.
