HOME & COTTAGE
As you prepare to sell a home, you want to ensure potential buyers see it in the best possible light; that dated furniture and accessories don’t hold home buyers back from seeing your house’s full potential. “If you want to sell a home quickly and for the best possible price, staging is one of the easiest ways to make it happen,” says Thamara Paparoni, Real Estate Agent with Thamara Paparoni Provincial Realty. “No matter how nice a home may be, staging helps, because you are trying to show a buyer something that they can envision themselves in. And the chances of both buyer and seller having identical taste is low, no matter how nice the home is.” Now, more than ever before, those listing here on PEI are seeing the value of home staging, she says, as many homes are being sold without the buyers present.
And presentation? Well, to Paparoni, it’s everything.
“I have had so many experiences with clients’ homes – as well as my own – where the homes sold so much faster, for higher asking price, only because they were presented at their full potential,” the experienced realtor explains. Presentation aside, she says staging a home can sometimes even help a home sell for over asking price. It’s why she chose to offer this added service to her clients listing their homes. And yet – surprisingly – home staging is a service many clients don’t even know exists. But they should. Oftentimes, it’s an instrumental element of successfully selling a home. One study by the National Association of Realtors revealed that 40 per cent of survey respondents said that home staging had an effect on most buyers’ views of a home. After staging a home for sale, Paparoni also offers clients high-quality pictures and video to maximize the appearance of a home online. It’s all part of Paparoni’s dedication as a real estate agent to providing the best service possible. In other provinces, clients often have to pay for this added service, she says, but she provides complimentary insight. “I take care of my clients well, I truly care about them,” she says. “I know this market quite well, but I also bring some different experiences from living in different parts of the world.”
