We’ve all heard about property ‘staging’ and yes it works probably because most of us are over tripping over toddlers’, teenagers’ or partner’s paraphenalia when we eventually get to fall into a chair at the end of a long day. It creates the impression of that simple uncluttered life so many of us long for. Yes sometimes it adds dollars to the bottom line because a buyer can clearly see the lifestyle they long for, and so will pay the extra dollars, – if not more dollars, at the very least it will most certainly get that property sold so much faster.
So why stop at interior styling? If you need a machete to get through the weeds or have to bend double to get under low branches, who wants to bother? Some basic landscape and exterior styling makes sense. With so many gardening services available, many are now offering the exterior styling service – get a quote or pull the weeds, mulch the gardens, perhaps add a few plants. Clean up the pavers and add a chair or two to a garden setting – make it inviting.
Renovations are great – if you’re doing the full job top to bottom! Other than that, it’s the little and often inexpensive things that buyers notice. Door latches, a broken window, overgrown gardens and anything else that screams neglect. Try it and maybe they’ll buy it!
