Stage Your Home For Your Buyers Lifestyle

March 07, 2013 (posted by Jennifer Campbell, Home Staging Calgary)
Did you realize that people fall in love with – and ultimately buy – the lifestyle that’s presented in a property for sale? It’s important to understand so you can stage your home accordingly. Meeting lifestyle desires versus needs could be what makes your home the ideal choice for a potential buyer.
 
The story of a space matters. For example, many buyers seek an entertainer’s dream home. In the photo, the staged dining room shows in a way that invites thoughts of glamorous meals spilling out onto the deck and lasting into the night when you can star gaze, whether inside or out. Maybe the potential buyer can envision a hot tub and beautiful gardens with twinkle lights to view outside while dining. Magical.
 
Does this room look familiar?

Before: Kitchen before staging. — in Calgary.

See the difference professional home staging makes?

After: The glass table reflects the light from the backyard and emphasizes how much space this nook has.

The potential buyer doesn’t immediately worry about all the fingerprints on glass or having enough space to store things or whether it’s cold in the room because of all the windows. They have already gotten lost in their mind’s eye, dreaming of the amazing dinner parties they could have in the space. At that point, reality doesn’t matter as much. The story is aroused and your job is done.
 
Buyers will fall in love with the lifestyle they imagine for themselves first. And they are likely willing to pay more for it. So understand your buyers, commit to staging your property for their dream lifestyle, and reap the benefits. They don’t call it a dream home for nothing!
