Prepping Your Home for Prospective Buyers in Brentwood, Tennessee

Sell quickly in Brentwood with home staging and with Benchmark Realty, LLC as your REALTOR - 615.337.2000

Prior to placing your house on the market, consider a proven way to sell your house: professional home staging. Some advantages to home staging include fewer days on the market and higher offers. If you want to sell your house quickly, consider a thoroughly thought out home staging strategy.

Staging your home in Brentwood is all about promoting a lifestyle. You want buyers to imagine themselves calling your place "home". You want them to see your present house as their future home.

If your home is empty, think about renting furniture. The goal is for your house to look inviting as opposed to vacated. Increased weeks on the market are sure signs of homes that haven't been staged. As a top agent in in Williamson County, I can help you stage your house so that your home sells as quickly as possible. Preparing your home for an Open House doesn't have to be a nerve-racking experience. It can actually be enjoyable. Together, we'll strive for an exceptional offer for your house.


	Using our home staging techniques will get your place sold more easily in Brentwood than deciding not to stage. Benchmark Realty, LLC can help you create a welcoming feeling that makes buyers to want to stay — permanently. Give us a call at 615.337.2000 and we will stage your house to sell.

Below are a few home staging tricks we can use to get going:

Curb Appeal

First, look at the outside of your house, also called your curb appeal. Take a fresh look at the outside of your home from the view of a passerby. What do you notice first? What dollar-earning features seem waiting to be noticed? Acknowledging this helps us to decide what measures we can take to draw buyers from the street and into your home. If your home's exterior isn't up to par with touched up paint and blooming greenery it's time to get those things done. Follow the Curb Appeal Checklist and increase your house's final selling price.

Welcome Home

Can buyers picture themselves lounging in your living area, reading a good book in your spa tub or inviting family and friends over for a dinner in your dining room? We want your Open House to welcome buyers and offer them a sense of ease. I'll help you do this by suggesting small improvements that highlight the features of your place. I'll suggest that you take away items that give the appearance of clutter. Tabletops should be free and clear. Kitschy sculptures, sentimental items, family photos, and kids' artwork should get moved out of sight. We need to "de-personalize" the place so buyers can picture it as their new house.

I know exactly what a room's best characteristics are and how to highlight them. Enhancements that directly impact your bottom line include fixable like pieces of furniture that should be rearranged, rooms that need neutral paint, carpet that needs to be replaced, fixtures that need polishing, and windows that need washing

We'll make sure your house is neutral and that it's inviting, steering clear of "loud" or "too-bright" shades on the walls and furniture. And if none of your belongings are there, you can try temporary furniture. You want your home to look lived in as opposed to cold and deserted.

Setting the Stage
I'll tell you when you're ready to show your home, because all of the changes come together to paint a picture of what buyers can envision after they choose to buy your house. To counteract darkness is a mood changer and we'll part the curtains, and reduce shadows where needed to show off your home. We'll enhance the air of the house with enjoyable music to listen to while guests take a walk-through of your home and make sure a pleasing aroma circulates room-to-room. We'll add cozy-looking throws, and pillows on your chairs and bed. Buyers should feel like your home is their future home.
