As a Home Stager serving Orlando, Central Florida and surrounding areas, I have never seen so many vacant homes! Without a doubt the majority of my incoming requests come from Realtors and Sellers of vacant properties. The market has changed which means you need to set your home apart from your competitors!
At a time where many sellers currently own two properties, are paying mortgages for both and are eagerly looking to sell, there is no better time to get your home staged. The purpose is to bump your home up several notches with “wow factor” to allow buyers to fall in love with your home and say, “This is the one. I love it!” and get your home sold quickly and for top dollar!
Vacant property sellers are not alone, occupied homes experience the same issues but there are different factors taking place, so I want to focus on vacant properties today. Imagine you are a buyer and your Realtor has pulled up to a home you are about to tour. You’re excited that this could be the one after all of your searching so you eagerly walk through the front door to find empty walls and well an empty house! Every room you look at is a blank canvas which some might say is a good thing. Well, did you know that statistically 93% of buyers cannot see beyond the bare walls and empty rooms?! That means the vacant home will spend much more time on the market and will not likely get the asking price, only to get caught up in price reductions as a result. The other problem is that potential buyers will see that the home owner is desperate to sell and will almost always submit a lower offer, not helpful for the seller!
Why is this? Well, there is something to be said about a clean and fresh space that is warm, inviting and homey. Empty homes lack that very warmth, hominess and inviting feeling that buyers are looking for! Do you ever notice that when you walk through a model home, it has a certain cozy feeling that gets you all happy and excited and your brain starts working away on all of the possibilities that this home could mean for you…maybe it is room for a family, maybe it is more space for a newly married couple, or maybe it is the feeling of a more upscale neighborhood. Whatever the thoughts are, the empty home simply doesn’t convey those.
What do you do? Like many other homeowners of vacant homes, you get it home staged! What that will mean is you will work with a Home Stager and they will get in touch with their furniture rental company and select the appropriate furniture for all or key rooms in your home. They will set up vignettes with props, flowers, art and d
