Does it really make a difference how your house on the market is dressed? Yes, presentation does matter as you are selling your home, your most valuable asset.
In order to attract potential buyers, your home should be “well dressed”. Being successful in selling your home has similarities in obtaining your dream job. We all know the saying, “dress for success” or “dress to impress”. This adage applies to job hunters as well as house hunters. As an employer is impressed by a “well dressed” candidate, so are prospective buyers impressed by a “well dressed” home. In both cases, you only get one opportunity to make a first impression.
Potential buyers make amazing assumptions during the first 15 minutes of seeing your home. Therefore, the appearance can affect their decision. A staged home benefits both the seller and potential buyer. Homeowners will have a sense of confidence in knowing that their staged home is marketable. Potential buyers can envision their new home.
Remember, the power of a first impression should not be overlooked. Your home has unique features and these features should be enhanced as a selling point.
