St. Louis Real Estate - Turn Hundreds of Dollars into Thousands in Profit!

St. Louis Real Estate Home Staging expert and Interior Designer Natalie Pinson puts in her two cents about “How hundreds of dollars can translate to thousands in profit.”

Does this sound familiar? It’s been years since you’ve updated and now you’re moving on to the next phase of life…you’re selling your home. All of a sudden, what you’ve been living with seems unacceptable to a potential buyer. You notice some big changes that need to be made, and little ones too. But where to start??

Enter the Home Staging expert. Real Estate Staging is the new interior design initiative quickly gaining popularity among sellers and agents alike. It takes a designers eye and market knowledge to know what buyers are looking for. Often it’s a matter of rearranging existing furniture and using your art and accessories effectively so that potential buyers can envision your home as theirs.

Most designers and Home Stagers will give you a “Resale Redesign Plan”. This is customized to your budget and your home. It should include cost-effective ideas (such as removing certain window treatments, painting a room a new color or adding foliage to a corner) that can be implemented quickly to enhance the profit of your property. Most Stagers will lead you in the right direction or provide the service of arranging your possessions themselves.

The strategy behind Home Staging is to make the most of what you already own. Granted, there are some areas that may need more significant funding, (i.e. a rusted faucet or broken commode) but in many cases there are affordable ways to improve the appeal of your home. Staging and small changes or repairs can typically range $500 to $5000. Think of Staging as a “refinement” if you will. It is a way to create a spacious and inviting home that doesn’t dig deep into your pockets.

When it’s time to get your home ready for resale it is always the best course of action to call in experts. Expert plumbers, electricians, Real Estate agents can all make a difference in the outcome of a sale. Home Staging experts are no different. A Staging professional will create a resale plan, help you implement it, and transform your home into someone else’s dream!
