It’s no secret that making a home presentable is essential to the success of a listing, especially at a luxury price point. Staging properly can enhance the presentation significantly and increase the appeal for prospective buyers.
Cleanliness and de-cluttering go without saying, but there are subtle styling tips that add subliminal value whether you are showing the home in person or virtually. I always add fresh flowers to a space to create the sense of elegant living. Flowers and greenery, as well as trim exterior landscaping, add sophistication and vibrancy to a home’s permanent décor. In Naples, where indoor and outdoor living are mutually attractive, staging outdoor space is critical. Comfortable lounge furniture and textiles extend the living space, adding value to the property.
Experienced buyers approach listings with a particularly discerning eye, so it’s important not to overlook staging that draws attention to key selling features. My top five staging suggestions are:
- De-clutter
- Put away personal items, including photos
- Organize closets
- No pets
- Bring in fresh flowers
Staging strategically depends on the property, so a professional review is worth the time. Please let me know if I may offer a consultation on preparing your property for a successful listing.
