PREPARING FOR REAL ESTATE SALE

What makes the difference between a home that languishes on the market and one that sells quickly? The obvious answer is appearance. But what is that winning appearance—and how is it achieved?

Properties that have been professionally staged sell much more rapidly and at a better price. This increasingly more popular service goes by several names, including Staging® and Home Enhancement®. Regardless of what it’s called, there is a growing recognition that staging works—especially as real estate markets change.

An illustration of this trend is the well-known HGTV program Designed to Sell , which demonstrates this phenomenon with each episode. In addition, statistics compiled by industry groups like Stagedhomes.com reveal that properties undergoing even modest enhancements by experts sell much faster and at a higher price!

The MEREDITH DESIGN GROUP provides a full array of services to property owners and the real estate industry. The basic approach is to clean and simplify spaces, emphasize positive architectural details, and depersonalize your property—to give it the broadest possible appeal to potential buyers.
