Showing Your Property
Thursday, September 27th, 2007
Showing your Salt Lake City property can sometimes require a ’second eye’ to help ensure that you are emphasizing the right features, in the right way.
Recently there has been a lot of talk about ’staging’ in Salt Lake City. Staging your Salt Lake City property means to ‘dress it up’ for show, much like you would get yourself ready for a special event. Staging your Salt Lake City property includes everything from simply cleaning up a bit, to decorating with the right colors, fixtures, and accessories, and even home improvement additions.
But how much is too much?
Staging in Salt Lake City can be a bit tricky; you don’t want to spend money on staging, additions, or repair work because often times these efforts do not add value to your Salt Lake City property. The money you spend on some efforts to ‘fix up’ may not be recoverable. Expensive additions can also be a matter of personal taste, and may not have wide appeal to other Salt Lake City property buyers who may be planning their own additions, fixes, and changes.
Likewise, staging can sometimes be seen as overwhelming or even deceiving. Current research indicates that too much staging can turn potential Salt Lake City property buyers away because the personality of the Salt Lake City property is too strong and becomes the most significant deciding factor. Can you imagine missing a opportunity to sell your Salt Lake City property because the style of the decor was too strong?
Salt Lake City property buyers will be wary if staging appears to be implemented to hide defects or draw attention away from otherwise negative features.
Done correctly, staging can be an effective tool in selling your Salt Lake City property.
As a Mortgage Loan Officer, my experience in selling Salt Lake City residential mortgages properties allows me to be a good judge in what features to emphasize, and what degree of staging may be appropriate, or financially justifiable for the Salt Lake City real estate market.
