If you are involved in real estate, you will know for sure how important it is to ‘stage’ a home. Staging a home is never easy – but it is where you can unleash your creativity and bring your experience and your meticulous eye for detail to fruition. By creating a fantastic show home, you are, in essence, creating a home that your buyers cannot afford not to purchase. Of course, you need to prep your home in such a way that buyers cannot help but see themselves in it! Selling a property is hard enough – but when you put in a little extra effort, you can very well ask for a higher price for the property – and sell it much more quickly. But when developing your show home, you shouldn’t overlook the technical details, either. What technical details would make your show home the ultimate success? Let’s find out.
Use proper software so you can see your overall vision
One way you can create a show home with a lot of impact is to visualise it all with the help of proper software. Remember that as an agent, technology is also one of the best tools you can use, so use it wisely. Various software can help you reach a wider audience and market your property – but it can do more than this. By utilising software that can help you recreate your vision digitally before creating it in the real world, you can see it before taking action. You can even use it as a tool for attracting potential buyers! The right videos, photos, and floor plans allow your buyers to see your home for sale even before they set foot in it, and they can already make their decision beforehand.
Hire a photographer
One other thing you can do – which you’ve probably never done before – is hire a photographer. As mentioned, it’s vital to visualise your show home, as a showhome interior design specialist will tell you, and if you want to sell your property right away, you need to let your buyers see it for themselves. This is where a pro photographer enters the picture (pun intended). Therefore, you must hire a photographer to take property photos. Still, you can’t just hire the first photographer you come across – hire a person with a good understanding of architecture and interiors. It would be excellent if they also had a meticulous eye for detail. Then, when you’re done fixing up and staging the property, contact your chosen photographer to take photos of the final product.
Check the house, and check it twice
Of course, there would be repairs if your property had a previous owner. But you must check it and check it twice – there are probably some obvious fixes and repairs, which would often be on a large scale. These have to be done right away – not only because the house will be inspected but also because it’s bad for the property. Repairs such as the doors, roof, windows, plumbing, floors, and painting must be done immediately, for instance. But when they are fixed or repaired, you can then move on to the finer details.
