Stage Las Vegas Homes for Top-Dollar Sales
Selling Las Vegas homes
is something that sellers have strategized over the past couple of years.
Competition is getting stiffer, and they are asserting their best effort to assure
that a home looks its very best to sell faster. Thus, a home with sparkling
windows, efficient kitchen and an open floor plan is going to sell quicker than
one with a leaky roof and messy rooms.
Therefore,
more and more sellers have begun “staging” their Las Vegas homes – doing
a lot of repairs and upgrades such as removing furniture pieces to open the
traffic paths, replacing cabinets and hardware to showcase the kitchen, and
painting and polishing everywhere. However, Las Vegas Realtors warn that there is a fine
line between painting to brighten a dull room and painting to cover up damage.
For instance, painting to conceal water damage could cause a big problem in
the first place.
Home
buyers should be mindful about defects in the home they’re interested in before they make an offer.
It is very important to make a list of all the defects you are covering or
correcting before you do the staging. After that, make sure that prospective
buyers review and understand your list before they make an offer. By doing so, buyers will have a better idea of the actual property condition.
Tips from the Pros:
- Rely
on Realtors when selling Las Vegas homes. Realtors help homeowners decide what repairs and/or cosmetic work should be done before
the home selling process.
- Ask
contractors to get the best deals on repairs. You can usually get their service
at a bargain price when the market is slow.
- It
is important to negotiate with the potential buyer to get second opinions on
work that needs to be done. Don’t lose a potential sale because of simple
repair issues.
- Offer
the buyer a cash allowance so they can select their colors and fabrics for
cosmetic work, like painting or new carpeting.
