Hi… I’m Darlene Parris with UPSTAGED! a Professional Home Staging Company right here in
Today I’m going to cover with you tip # 3 of our 5 part
series of 5 Ways to Avoid Deal Killing Criticisms when trying to sell your
home.
So today’s topic is all about depersonalization. Well what does that mean exactly right? Well when you live in a home the house is
yours so you tend to personalize it the way you want with all the accents and
colors and things that you enjoy. When
you’re trying to sell your house however, you’re trying to neutralize the space
as much as possible while still making it feel like a home.
So that said, we want to then take away some our most
personal effects. So if you have things as simple as your toothbrush and
toothpaste out on your vanity top, those things need to go away and be out of
sight so that when a potential buyer comes in, they’re not looking at your
things. They’re visualizing their things
in the space instead of yours.
Another thing to depersonalize is artwork. You may be a person that has lots of family
photos or memorabilia on the wall. Those
kinds of things can serve more as a distraction for a potential buyer than an
added feature. You want them to look at
the bones of your home, what your home is all about, not necessarily your
family and your lineage or the team that you’re involved in. Although those things are wonderful for you,
it is very hard for a potential buyer to actually get past those things because
in every space as they walk through your home, they’re looking at YOU, YOU,
YOU. And what they’re trying to do and
what you need to allow them to do is visualize ME ,
ME
So remember, Depersonalization is our #3 tip of what to do
to in order to avoid deal killing criticisms when trying to sell your home.
Thanks for joining me today.
I will see you next time. Take
care.
