Many senior citizens who are looking to downsize into retirement communities have one thing standing in their way – their homes. Often, they are not able to move because they can’t sell their houses for what they would need to move into a property more suitable for their age and abilities.
Downsizing from a house that’s been lived in and loved for many years is not an easy task. Parting with the memories of your family in the home can be the most difficult part of the process. Often the home has not been updated for many years and is decorated to appeal to the homeowner’s personal tastes. But what appealed to you 20 years ago may not appeal to today’s potential buyers. And most buyers do not want projects! Today’s buyers are often willing to pay more money to avoid a long list of things to do to update a home.
The experts at Cleveland Home Staging can go through your home, room by room, and give you recommendations of what needs to be done before putting the home on the market. We can show you what areas are the most important to address and can work within your budget. Then if needed, we can Stage the home with our large inventory of furniture and accessories to help potential buyers envision their own family living there. Taking the time and effort to prepare your Cleveland Area home before it goes on the market is not an expense, but an investment. After Cleveland Home Staging Staged this home in Seven Hills, the property got multiple offers at the first open house and sold for 10% over the asking price. That equaled 5 times more than the cost of Staging! Help your loved ones downsize and get the most money possible from what may be their largest investment, their home.
