Staging to sell Olympia Homes and Real Estate

Selling in this market in the Puget Sound is not an easy task. One that no seller should tackle alone. The Puget Sound real estate market is a constantly shifting and changing environment and one that needs constant attention and monitoring to keep up with what buyers are looking for.

Having a trusting agent from Parkside Affiliates in the Lacey, Tumwater and Olympia real estate area really can help price a home right, stage it accordingly and get it sold in the shortest time possible. No one wants to sit on the market for months waiting and waiting. Most home sellers can’t afford to hire a home staging company either but with the right combination of listing broker and tips to help set up your home right, it can get the most showings and potential offers.

The Pacific Northwest is known for wet, dreary winters and keeping up with a home’s curb appeal during that time can be challenging. The biggest things to remember are to have evergreen shrubs when the deciduous trees have lost their leaves and keep as much foliage perfect trimmed as possible.  Even just a simple trimming and edging can work wonders on a front yard.

Find whatever plants and flowers are in season any time of year and keep those on the front porch or close to the front door to add as much warmth as possible.

Once a buyer walks into the room make sure there is enough space to accommodate several people. Remember, the buyer will not be alone. They will have their agent with them and perhaps a spouse or relative. Even if the situation is not the normal one, buyers will take note if they feel crowded up on entering your house.

Keep each room as it was originally intended and let it flow from one room to the other.  Keep decor simple and neutral with no personal collections, memorabilia or photos gracing the walls or shelves. People need to envision themselves in the room, not who lives there now.

These are just some simple tips for staging in the Winter. For more tips on your specific home please visit the experts in Olympia homes and Lacey real estate - Parkside Affiliates.
