Staging for Rent
Are you a seller that has struggled to sell your property and now want to consider renting it out? Are you a landlord that has a property that needs updating?
Give me a call!! In today's market, many sellers are opting to rent their properties out in lieu of selling. In a challenging rental and real estate market, property managers and landlords can’t afford a poor showing. These days, more and more property managers and landlords are “Staging” their rental units to help prospective renters get a feel for the property with furniture.
Traditionally, Staging has been limited to the real estate and vacation rental market. But today, more landlords are dressing up an empty, vacant property with basic furnishings to help convey that homey feel to renters. Remember, renters are looking for a home to live in, not an empty box. The more you can convey a sense of home and show just how nice the unit looks furnished, the faster you may be able to rent your property!!
Staging your rental could help you change the vacancy period from months to weeks to even days!!

10 Things Home Buyers WANT!
Here is a list of 10 things that I feel every home buyer is looking for in a property.
1) Curb Appeal - If you property doesn't have any..invest in it! Most buyer's will make their mind up on a property by simply doing a drive by or pulling up into the driveway.
2) Hardwood Flooring - Buyers LOVE hardwood flooring! This will be an investment that will give you major bonus points!
3) Upgrades - When I say upgrades, I mean..fixtures..lighting..ceiling fans..cabinet hardware..anything that you can upgrade will give the buyer a feeling that the property has been well maintained.
3) Beautiful Baths - Buyers are looking for baths with a spa feeling. They want to feel that they are transported away from the busy lifestyles that they lead.
4) Fireplaces - If you have a fireplace, show it OFF!
5) Granite Counters - This is a luxury for most, and will definitely pay off for you if you invest in them.
6) Stainless Steel - This hot trend in appliances is not going away any time soon! Buyers love a kitchen with appliances that show off a "gourmet" feel!
7) Organized Closets - This is another great trend that buyers love! Investing in a customized closet system will definitely pay off in the end!
8) Dream Garage - This is a fairly new trend that buyers are looking for. If the garage is beautiful, and finished off this will be another sign to a buyer that your property is well maintained.
9) Built In's - Built in cabinets, shelving or bookcases will give the buyer an impression that your property is customized.
10) Green Lawns - A lawn that is well landscaped and maintained not only helps with curb appeal, but it again helps the buyer to emotionally connect with the property. Great landscape lighting is also an easy addition that will create a superb ambiance!
Bonus: The last thing I would like to add is COLOR! Gone are the days of white walls sell! If you add neutral colors to sterile white walls, it will assist the buyer in emotionally connecting to the property. Remember..when placing your property on the market, you need to invest a few dollars in order to maximize your profit potential!
