As I was on the treadmill at the gym the other day watching another episode of HGTV’s Property Virgins, I was thinking again about how amazing it is that what comes naturally to professional home stagers doesn’t seem to cross the minds of real estate agents and home sellers. There are many invaluable lessons that real estate professionals (including new home stagers) could be picking up from this show. You probably know the series I’m talking about. It’s the one that’s shot in different cities with the same host a real estate agent named Sandra Rinomato who helps first time home buyers find the right property. Generally, she takes a couple to see three properties, helping them figure out if they can afford it and what the resale value of the home may be. And when the time comes to offer on a proper SEO Pressor ty, Sandra appears to be a fantastic negotiator. That’s all very fun to watch, but as a home stager my favorite part is seeing the décor of the homes (which are often vacant) and imagining what I would do to make the spaces more appealing to the couples they’re being shown to. Watching this particular show gives you a very good sense of what first time buyers are looking for and what scares them off. For instance in vacant or only partially-furnished homes, the couple sometimes has a hard time figuring out what they’d use a certain space for and as a result perceive the home as being laid out too awkwardly. Sometimes you see what a big turn-off cosmetic issues really are, especially the possibility of having to renovate a bathroom or kitchen if the spaces don’t seem perfect from the initial showing.
