The power of staging
When you come to sell your house, it's vital to present it in its best light.
Clean and declutter your property, inside and out, to make it more appealing to potential buyers.
Home staging
Professional photography
whether you’ve lived in your house for two years or twenty,
memories have been made there. From birthday parties
and holidays to game days and movie nights, everything
about your home is YoU. now, you’re getting ready to leave
and the words “declutter” and “depersonalize” are getting
thrown at you.
Every home has a story. let us tell yours in its best light!
statistics show homes that list with high-resolution photos
sell quicker and often for more money. When browsing
listings, click rates and the duration of time spent looking at
the listing also increase with professional photography.
This includes videos and 3D virtual reality tours.
when presenting your home to buyers, you want to
maximize their ability to see it as their home. This can be as
simple as neutral wall colors, great lighting, and making
sure everything is clean and in working order. Brightness,
horizontal surfaces that are free of clutter, and appropriately
sized furniture make spaces feel bigger and welcoming,
showcasing each room’s potential.
Quality listing photos are essential, and Engel & Völkers Big
sky Country is the only brokerage in southwest Montana
requiring professional photos on all our listings.
Potential buyers want to see your home, not your stuff.
Think, less is more. The more you prepare by packing away
items for staging purposes, the less you’ll have to do when it
comes time to move. at Engel & Völkers Big sky Country,
we provide all of our sellers the opportunity to meet with a
professional stager. they discuss your options, offer
advice, help you organize, and leave you a to-do list. With
their help, the next steps to listing your home on the market
