Easily Sell a Home with Professional Staging

 

Aspen is one of the most beautiful mountain towns in the world. Located deep in the heart of the Rocky Mountains, Aspen is a world-renown ski town. Known for its stunning mountain scenery and world-class skiing, it’s one of the most desired and affluent areas to live in Colorado. There are four mountain peaks in the Aspen Snowmass area with dazzling ski-in ski-out properties throughout. From the mellow and wide slopes of Buttermilk and Snowmass to the adventurous trails through the backcountry and the legendary Highland Bowl of Aspen Highlands and Aspen Mountain, there’s terrain for every ability level here.

Aspen comes alive in the summer with fabulous events, live music, and plenty of adventure in the Rocky Mountains. With glorious hiking trails and hidden swimming holes, there are so many opportunities for serenity and seclusion all year long. As a result, Aspen real estate is in high demand. If you’re selling your property in Aspen, it’s important to make it stand out against other Aspen homes for sale.

One of the best strategies to boost your property’s beauty is by staging it. Working with a professional stager can help create the best version of your home to present to buyers. Read on to learn why working with a stager is a great way to go.

One of the first steps in staging your home to sell is to give your home a deep clean and store away any personal effects. Deep cleaning means not only cleaning your home as you normally would but also really making your home look like new. For example, the flooring should be professionally cleaned, and the walls should receive a new coat of paint. It can also help to update fixtures and clean the kitchen cabinets and closet interiors.

Cleaning doesn’t stop with the inside of the home. The outside of the home must also look clean and polished. This means pressure washing sidewalks or driveways and pruning shrubs and trees as needed. You want that all-important curb appeal to draw buyers into your home.

If desired, your real estate agent or stager can connect you with a professional cleaning crew to create the best look possible for your open house.

 

Organization is another way that professional stagers improve a home’s appearance. They will help you organize and declutter to create the clean and open aesthetic that buyers are looking for. When buyers walk into a home, they want to feel relaxed and be able to picture themselves in the home. For this to happen, you want them to experience open spaces and uncrowded storage areas. A stager can help you decide what needs to go into storage so your home is well-organized for showings. This helps create a serene atmosphere and increases the perceived value of your property.

 

Stagers are apprised of new trends and understand what buyers want in a home. If your home is older, there are certain trends that buyers want to see, and your stager can help you create these looks. For example, buyers are usually looking for large, open floor plans with plenty of flow in the space. A professional stager will help you select and arrange furniture and hang art that is aligned with the current design trends. 

One of the biggest advantages of hiring a stager is they can help you sell your home faster by creating a look and story that buyers desire. Stagers and real estate agents understand that one of the main secrets to selling real estate is building relationships with clients and understanding their goals. Buyers want to be able to picture themselves in your home and create a narrative around what their lives might look like there. Your stager can help you craft this image by creating the perfect design inside your home for buyers. By helping you clean, declutter and remove personal effects, they help set the stage for buyers to picture themselves living in your space.

Another important part of this is working with a real estate agent to help show the staged home. They can work with the stager to curate the perfect look and help walk buyers through the process, building a relationship to help sell your home.
