When I was at the home show today I stopped in to see a presentation by another stager and I was very intrigued by the Q&A at the end. One question asked was “how important is items behind closed doors like closets and kitchen cabinetry?”
EXCELLENT Question, this is actually a common question because many home owners feel that when they have their kitchen packed it shows off how much stuff it can hold resulting in showing excellent amount of storage. Well for buyers it’s the complete opposite! When they see a closet with items on the floor and crammed on the bar as well as a kitchen full of stuff they do not see “lots of storage” they see a LACK of storage. They instantly feel that there is not enough stuff to hold you items so it must be not enough to hold their items as well.
And storage space is VERY important to buyers. The best thing you can do as a seller is to pack up 2/3rds of your items and have it in storage (off sight is best) you’ll be ready for the move with many of your items packed up as well as you’ll show buyers you have a ton of usable storage space.
Next Blog pt 2 we will discuss “Good colours for a front door for selling”
If you have a question about what to do when it comes to selling please let me know I’ll be glad to answer them.
