Homestaging - Staging of a Property

Hello, a nice discussion,
while some of you understand the term homestaging and its purpose, I want to address a few words to the doubters – without using too many quotes:
Do you still remember how it felt when you were introduced to your love at first sight for the first time?
Did you stammer and later regret not having found the right words? Did you later regret that your hair was not freshly washed, the nice new jacket still hanging in the closet, the belly was tight under the shirt, which also made you look pale, or you just had a grumpy day anyway? No?
Then you are either a high flyer every day or simply soberly minded, who is not impressed by advertising strategies (which is not to be judged negatively).
But maybe you remember the first date? Nails are cleaned for minutes, the shower is used twice as long, and dressing also took an enormous amount of time. Teeth are brushed, the smoker takes a gum, the shoes are polished. At the beginning of the date, you smile, keep your back straight, endure your loved one, and hold back with the beer in favor of toasting with a glass of sparkling wine.
Is it clicking for you now?
Are you therefore a bluff because you later admit that you like to drink one or two beers and don’t care for sparkling wine?

Would you rather sleep in a hotel bed that looks new or does it not bother you if it’s still warm from the previous occupant and the toothpaste still sticks to the sink edge?
Do you like to buy a car if the seat cushion is full of horse and dog hair and smells of cigarette smoke, or a neutrally clean car for the same price?

Homestaging is not about covering up defects.
Of course, if furniture dummies are used to cover up defects, that is not right. This behavior would distinguish a good homestager from a bad seller who wants to hide something.
A substantially defective house is fundamentally a difficult-to-sell house; even a wreck of a property does not need to be upgraded because this type of property has no intrinsic value except for the land.

The things that can and should be changed through homestaging are also to be applied in almost new houses.
Certainly, hits the nail on the head with his example of grandma’s apartment: no one feels comfortable in such a property; who can find it objectionable if personal things are decluttered, the walls are whitened, aired out, and contemporary furniture is arranged?
Depersonalizing and tidying up must also be done in relatively new houses without defects. The residents are proud of the young ones’ skills, that they can now build with Duplo, and that is exactly how the floor in the children’s room looks. The hunting trophies hang threateningly on the wall, and there is no more space in the kitchen cabinets because madam has stacked too much Tupperware in too few cupboards.
In the utility room there is a cat litter box, and unfortunately the soaked substrate is not only found there.
I don’t know if the people who have the sensitivity to imagine rooms restructured also have this sensitivity regarding herpes viruses, but even if with the actually optimal property the stomach churns at the sight of an unclean toilet, I do not doubt that the prospective buyer will not buy.

You can’t see a well-staged place at all

The realtor/seller usually does not want to squeeze more out, he wants to sell at some point and not waste his working time for years with this property. This apartment will not get any better by vacancy!
And it benefits you that you even see the potential of the property: quite a few walls in vacant properties are terribly colored: here a wall was painted blood red, the bathroom was made even smaller with dark brown.
The elements in need of renovation should always be seen and evaluated by the buyer – purely mathematically, one will still or precisely then get a bargain, since the older property does not have the purchase price of a new comfort apartment but often the better location
