WHEN to list your property?

There really is no time that shouldn’t be considered as the right time to list. We have sold many a home in winter months. Most people feel like they have to sell their homes in late spring or early summer. Keep in mind that not everyone who’s looking to purchase a home has school aged kids to consider. Also, Real Estate is supply and demand. There may be more homes for sale in the summer, but all those other buyers aren’t considering a move before school. So, then supply goes down and demand goes up for those particular buyers. Think about it; less competition typically means your house become more valuable. So, when to list shouldn’t even be a consideration, especially if you are in the latter group.

5 of the Best Home Staging Ideas from the Experts

Mon, 10 Jan 2022 17:30:29 GMT

Congratulations! You’ve made the decision to sell your home. While this is something to celebrate, you may be experiencing the stress of what is yet to come. Selling your home is an exciting milestone, but it is also a process that may come with some stressors. Real estate can be complicated, especially if you are new to it. Further, staging your home is just one piece of the puzzle. However, many people don't quite understand how important it is. A home that’s staged nicely can appear more valuable and, eventually, will be taken off the market more quickly. If you’re working towards selling your home, top real estate agents in San Diego recommend following these 5 tips.

Clean Up and Declutter

If your home isn’t clean and organized, it isn’t going to make a good impression on potential buyers. Start by doing a deep clean of your space. Discard any items that you don't need and reorganize the rest. This is not only going to help make your home appear more spacious and clean, but it’s also going to make the moving process move along much more smoothly! Once your items are organized, do a deep clean of your home.

Focus on Curb Appeal

When potential buyers come to your home for a viewing or an open house, the first thing they will see is the exterior. If you want to sell your house fast , make their first impression be their best impression! Take care of the exterior landscaping by planting some new grass, power washing the siding, and applying some new paint to any areas that are looking chipped and worn down! Additionally, feel free to add some flowers or plants to the front to incorporate some color and liveliness!

Create Space

Good storage is high on the list for many people looking to buy a home nowadays. Due to the pandemic, many people are looking to move away from crammed areas and relocate to more spacious spots. In your home, make storage an attractive feature in your home. This can be done either by focusing on areas in your home that are already used as storage areas or by incorporating spaces in your home to be used as storage. If you have a smaller home, try adding wall shelves or under-the-bed storage to add additional space.

Use Lighting to Your Advantage

Lighting fixtures can go a long way in making a home appear more valuable. While there are a few ways to incorporate lighting into your staging idea, a few popular ideas include incorporating track lighting to show off the better features in your home or installing sconces to illuminate areas that need some extra attention. Lighting is one of your best tools when it comes to staging, especially when incorporated with pops of color. Not all staging is created equal and we at Staged Homes Real Estate love adding color because it brightens any space and always gets the standing ovation both online and in-person. With most of today’s buyers using the internet to look for homes because of the pandemic, having photography that stands out is a must. We know that a picture is worth a thousand words, and our staging makes our houses much more popular!

Incorporate Versatile Furniture and Decorations

When staging a home, you want to appeal to the majority. What we mean by this is that you want to sell a home that isn’t just appealing to a few people. Incorporate furniture, decorations, and accents that are more on the neutral side. The idea is to create a space that feels like it could potentially be “home” to any potential buyer that enters!

Regardless of your motive to sell your home, prioritizing staging is going to be very important for your real estate goals. Staging with Staged Homes Real Estate is where design meets Real Estate and we have numerous tools to help you get the job done in no time. Our staging services are totally FREE to our sellers! The company was started over 15 years ago as a means to provide this value-adding service to our clients. We know that statistically, staged homes can sell up to four-times faster and as much as 18% more than homes not prepared for sale. Give us a call today if you plan on selling your home!

How To Stage An ADU Or AirBNB

Thu, 25 Feb 2021 17:57:41 GMT

Everyone knows that staging is crucial for selling Real Estate, but the same rings true if you have an ADU or an Airbnb! At Staged Homes Real Estate, we can cover all the bases for you!

We all know the Real Estate Market is in an unprecedented place. The world has changed so much in the last year. It’s nothing any of us could have ever imagined. It’s a new world, with more changes to come. One thing we do know, is that Real Estate is booming, but inventory is low.

We have clients who are rethinking the way they look at Real Estate and are more open than ever to new ideas on where and how to invest their money. They are also revisiting what they currently own and wondering if they are getting the most out of their properties. They’re beginning to ask us about ADU’s, Accessory Dwelling Units, and if that’s possible to have one on their own property. If they are selling, then they are considering buying properties where they would be able to put an ADU on the property. Ideal for extra rental income, or using it as an Airbnb to also bring in additional income, but then be able to use it in a more flexible way when family or friends need to stay. Or there’s always the rebound kids that come back home! These units can be used for so many different possibilities.

So why do we bring up staging these ADU’s or Airbnb properties? Yes, those can be two very different things, many Airbnb’s are large homes as well as smaller units and are typically not located on the property where the owners live, but some are. Well, just as buyers are attracted to homes that have been beautifully staged, the same thing is absolutely true for these rental units and homes too. You would be so amazed how much more money your rentals can secure if they show more like a staged home. Perhaps you already own one of these types of properties, and perhaps it looks ok, or even pretty good, but look at it with a renter’s eyes? Could it look like a property that visitors on these sites would make a definite pitstop at to check out? If you think your listings could use a refresh to make your property stand out amongst the others, then Staged Homes Real Estate can even help you with that. It could be a light refresh, or maybe you need some serious updating to get your top rental price. Our staging crew obviously has lots of experience with designing homes for sale, but we can apply those same techniques to your rental properties. It’s still the same principle, beautify the surroundings that draw a buyer or a renter in. It may be a simple fix where you could actually purchase some of our staging inventory to bring a little pizazz to your place, or you may need a bigger overhaul with your furnishings, we can help you get the look for less. If your property has seen better days and could use some remodeling, we can even help with that. We have contractors that we work with when we stage our homes if hey need some home improvements done.

So, Staged Homes Real Estate is known in the industry for our beautiful home staging for our sellers, but we can also apply the same principles that we use in our staged homes with your rental properties. We give a home the wow factor that will appeal to all potential buyers. Those principles work beautifully in the rental world too. People want to stay in the nicest place they can possibly afford. This market will increase more and more, as most people aren’t feeling too comfortable staying at hotels these days. We can provide the edge you need to help you get that top dollar for your rental. So, we are your one resource for all things design. Check in with us and see how can help you achieve your financial goals, whether it be buying or selling Real Estate or increasing your top dollar price for your rentals. Staged Homes Real Estate knows how to increase your bottom line!

Selling your home? Clutter eats equity!

Mon, 17 Feb 2020 22:13:34 GMT

So, you’re getting ready to sell your home, and you want get it professionally staged-what’s the first step? Eliminating clutter is absolutely crucial. Sometimes you may not really see your stuff as clutter, it’s not always just a messy house that deserves the title of cluttered. A cluttered house can be a home that has too much furniture, has too many family photos, too much art, too many toys, or a large collection of-you name it!

Here’s a good test for you to determine if your home falls into any of those categories, because sometimes it’s hard to be objective: stand back and take photos of your home, as that’s what the photographer will do before listing your home. The camera never lies and it might help you to better discern what constitutes clutter. Another test is to go online and look through homes that are currently listed. It will be easy for you to determine from those homes which homes need a declutter. You can be objective about those homes, because they are not yours! If you wouldn’t put those homes on your want to see it list, then you understand why decluttering is necessary! How your home shows on the internet will determine how much your home is actually shown. A picture is worth a thousand words.

Kitchens are notorious for clutter. While it’s normal to have magnets and notes on a refrigerator, that needs to go when it’s time to sell. We all love our kitchen gadgets, appliances, and cooking items, but for selling purposes, only absolute everyday essentials should be on the counters. Kitchens are typically the number one thing that matters most to a buyer, so you need to show every square inch of counter space. It also needs to clean, clean, clean! A dirty kitchen can tarnish a home’s overall impression with potential buyers.

Decluttering isn’t always a huge overhaul. Sometimes it’s just eliminating a few pieces of furniture. Also just rearranging can make the world of difference. The eye needs a place to rest. If a room is overloaded it’s harder to notice the room’s special features.

So, hopefully you can now see how important decluttering is. When you list your home for sale every detail matters, which also means staging is essential to ensure a top dollar sale!

Staged Homes Real Estate provides you with the icing on the cake with our FREE home staging!

Top 10 Home Staging Tips

Fri, 31 Jan 2020 01:33:21 GMT

Top 10 home staging tips to stage a home properly

1. How the home’s photos and virtual tours show on internet WILL determine how much a home is shown! The internet has forever changed the way Real Estate is shown and sold, and over 98% of buyers are researching online first before ever setting their foot in the door of a home. If the home doesn’t show well, if it looks cluttered, or outdated, that home doesn't make it to a buyer's “see it” list. A seller can lose potentially thousands of buyers without ever even knowing it! This home went from Blah to Alive!

2. Decluttering is absolutely essential! It’s a crucial element when you put your home on the market, because the way you would normally live in your home will probably be different than when it comes time to sell your home. Buyers need to see every inch of square footage. Clutter eats equity! This home's square footage was gobbled up by way too much furniture!

3. Depersonalizing is a staging fundamental! The goal with staging is to appeal to ALL potential buyers that walk through that front door. Your stuff, family photos, collections, personalized design styles, all add up to distractions for the buyer. They need to see the details of your home, not the details of your life! Depersonalizing and packing up also ensures that your valuables are safely packed away. This also makes moving so much easier. Which bedroom would you rather claim as your sanctuary?

4. Clean, clean, clean! An immaculate home says to a buyer you’re your home has been well-maintained. Don’t forget the carpet and windows! If this deep cleaning proves to be too much for you, it’s worth every penny to have it professionally cleaned. Also, if you can’t keep up with maintaining it yourself, have someone come in on a weekly basis. It’s extremely hard to sell a dirty home, as buyers can’t see past that. Your job will be to keep the home looking as if it were just staged, but it's so much easier to live in a staged home, because everything is in it's place. Many of our sellers have changed the way they live, after living in a staged home, because it feels so peaceful and orderly. They vow not to ever go back to their old way of living!

5. Condition and repairs matter! You can do it now or you can do it later, but most likely you will have to do it! By not taking care of the repairs beforehand, you give the potential buyer ammunition to start shooting your price down. So not only will you end up doing it anyway in most cases, but you will have also sacrificed some of your precious equity dollars. This bathroom was an eyesore. It looks fantastic and , believe it or not, it was quite inexpensive, and worth every penny!

6. Paint is the most inexpensive quick fix for a home. Always stick to a neutral palette, but not white! Use rich tones in creams, beiges, light grays-these colors work with everyone's décor. You may love blue, purple, or red, but that will probably not be the case for most people. Color is a very personal thing, so play it safe with neutrals. Paint makes a home look and smell fresh, and offers the best bang for the buck! Don't worry, we'll bring in the color when we stage-we promise it won't be dull! These buyer's preference was red, however a ketchup red kitchen is not high on most buyer's must haves!

7. Curb appeal is essential-you have to get them in the front door! Walk across the street and take a good look at your home and try to be objective. What do you see when you really look at it? Take a photo if you need a real perspective-a camera doesn't lie. Is the yard well-manicured, plants healthy and not overgrown; are there colorful plants and flowers that will grab a buyer's eye? How's the paint on the house and are the windows and screens in good repair? Are there excessive pots, toys, or outdoor furniture? How does the driveway and walkway look, and how about that front door? This is a buyer's first impression and it needs to be a good one to actually get them inside. Obviously, this is one of our more drastic makeovers, but can you imagine this home would not be added to any buyer's must see list!

8. Modernizing a home doesn't have to be costly. If you have the budget for a kitchen or bathroom makeover, and your home is need, then great. However, a lot of sellers aren't in that position, so have our professional stagers come in to offer some far less costly suggestions to improve what you already have. This proves to be invaluable for our clients. There are ways of updating without breaking the bank. Just keep in mind that kitchens and bathrooms sell homes more than any other rooms in the house. Also updating lighting can change the whole look of a home. Really, take a look at our before and afters! This kitchen makeover was just paint-really, everything else was the same, including the door handles!

9. Furniture placement and arrangement are key. A good flow must be created.-buyers need to be able to walk through the home without tripping over furniture. Features, such as fireplaces, architectural details, and outside views, must all be showcased. We'll make sure none of your home's best features will go unnoticed. This home had way too much furniture-how much more inviting is it after our staging?

10. Our FREE CONSULTATION will provide you everything you need to know, before staging day arrives. Just as you need a Real Estate expert to sell your home, you need a Staging Expert to give you an outline of how to get the home SOLD! What's great about Staged Homes Real Estate is you get both, and our Staging is FREE!

STAGING IS THE STATISTICALLY PROVEN ULTIMATE MARKETING TOOL!

In our competitive Real Estate market, every home needs every advantage over its enormous competition. Staging a home is no longer optional; buyers are in a place that they can afford to be very choosy.

At Staged Homes Real Estate, We Believe in Giving Back

Wed, 04 Sep 2019 00:38:45 GMT

When the devastating Fallbrook fires destroyed so many homes, we wanted to be able to make a difference in one family’s life. They lost everything; nothing was spared. Through one of our past clients, they were able to secure a home to rent until their home was rebuilt. So, one problem was solved, but they had nothing to put in it. We decided to bless them with a beautiful, move-in ready home. We purchased new furniture for the entire home. From the furniture, to the dishes, the artwork, decorator accessories, and even a decorated Christmas t ree with presents. Of course, we didn’t just have the furnishings delivered, our specialty is staging homes, so that’s what we did for this family! They had no idea what they were walking into, it was the greatest surprise of their lives. They thought they were just picking up the keys to the home. Can you imagine their shock-it was priceless! They assumed we brought in staging furniture for them to use while they were there, but when we told them it was theirs to take to furnish their rebuilt home, and the water works started again. It was the best Christmas for all of us, because we knew we were able to give a family a real holiday that exuded joy, instead of tragedy. Staged Homes Real Estate is a people centered company.

“Third time’s a charm” for a couple who listed their home with us-Staging was the key!

Fri, 29 Mar 2019 21:47:18 GMT

Meet Debora and Greg. They had a charming two bedroom home a few blocks from the beach in Imperial Beach in South San Diego County.

When the couple first decided to sell their home, they contacted a family friend who was a real estate agent. Unfortunately, they were unsuccessful, and a buyer wasn’t found . They took the house off the market for awhile and regrouped. They later made a second attempt to sell with a new real estate company and a new real estate agent, despite the hot housing market in San Diego, the home remained unsold .

Debora then did some research online and found Staged Homes Real Estate. She was intrigued with the offer of free home staging and decided to give them a try.

After meeting with broker/owner Debbie Avey, the couple decided to try once again to sell their home . This time things were different from the start.

As part of the Staged Homes Real Estate marketing plan Debbie scheduled a free consultation with in-house staging director, Perri Miller. Perri came to the house and walked through each room with the couple and made suggestions for cosmetic changes, upgrades, and the decluttering that she knew were necessary to help the couple showcase their homes best features.

Once the suggested changes had been completed, Perri set up a day for the couple to leave the home so it could be fully staged. The crew arrived on staging day and, in one day , completely transformed the home , bringing in new furnishings, décor, and artwork for each room of the house. When the homeowners returned that evening to see the results they were stunned and thrilled at the transformation that had taken place and exclaimed that it looked like a different house ! Greg even asked if they still had to sell the house and Debora was moved to tears .

Open house weekend resulted in multiple offers and the house was sold within the week!

Greg and Debora were thrilled with the entire experience and stated;

“Everything happened so fast, I think we’re still in shock at how quickly the house sold, Especially since we had it listed with two other agencies with no offers. it's all about the staging, don't try to sell your home with anyone other than staged homes real estate!”

Without Staged Homes and their sense of Community, I believe Vista would not be as nice of a place to live and work and that is why Staged Homes Cast and Crew are Heroes of Vista.

This is the house we furnished and made ready, even with a Christmas Tree!
