3 Reasons You Should Focus on Interior Design When Selling

By temineth Jan 30 1

You want your property to stand out, right? Of course! That’s the whole point of listing, so potential buyers have a chance to see how amazing your home is and offer you the best price. Well, if you’re going to do it right, you must focus on interior design. I’m not necessarily talking about staging, although they can go hand in hand. I’m talking about true interior design, not just a quick clean up and a little organization. Yes, you should do both of those things but you also want your home to shout “new beginning” to potential buyers. Here are three things you should think about when selling.

New Beginning.3 Reasons You Should Focus on Interior Design When Selling

Like I said, buyers want a new beginning and even though they know in their heads that someone else has lived here, they don’t want it shoved in their face. They don’t want to see family photos or personal memorabilia. They want to see themselves here and that usually means bringing in a few new pieces so the couch doesn’t look as worn, the drapes are not crinkled, and the furnishings sparkle. I’m not saying run out and buy an entirely new living room set, but a few new accent pieces can make the place look fresh.

You can make the house the way you originally wanted it.

I get it, you’re moving, why bother doing anything now? Because if you noticed these issues when you moved in, the next buyer is apt to do the same. So go ahead, replace that faucet, paint the house,  replace that old lighting fixture, repair the squeaky door. Buyers may not notice that you’ve done something but they will definitely know if you haven’t.

Pro Tip: “Buyers don’t want to see a ton of work that needs to be done. If you do the work, it may not be noticeable right away but if you forget or just don’t repair obvious things, buyers will think there are more issues to the house that they can’t see.” – Orlando Realtor®

Your listing will stand out.

Again, interior design is a little more than staging. You can rearrange a few key pieces or you can get some fresh items to make the place really shine. With the right decor and lighting, your home can be transformed into a luxury villa. (Well maybe not that amazing, but you never know).

    Good article! I think there is much confusion about the term “staging.” Yes, it is important for colors, styles, and textures to flow and look attractive, but no amount of rearranging will make up for a deficit in outdated interior design. I agree with you that simple fixture changes…new lights, updated doors, etc…can have the greatest impact on a sale. As you say, buyers may not notice what you’ve done, but they certainly notice what’s missing.

“I have bought and sold ten houses all over the United States. We purchased a piece of land Tommy had listed last year. We found Tommy to be the most informative agent we’ve ever had, and at no time did we feel he was trying to steer us into any particular area or property as so many agents are wont to do. His knowledge of land and ranch management was very helpful in our decision. Our negotiation with the seller took two months, and Tommy’s unbiased efforts to bring us a fair deal were as good as I’ve seen any agent produce. I would not hesitate to use him again and recommend him to others.” - Dallas TX

“Of course we would call you for our property related needs!  Who else would we call?  You are the only real estate agent that would get out and walk around aimlessly with us instead of sitting in the truck talking on a cell phone.  Shoot, you even admitted you got us lost – we knew then that you were as honest as they come!  Seriously, you did a great job last time and both of us were highly impressed with your service and knowledge of the area and the wildlife.  It was a much easier and more pleasant experience for us having you involved and that is high praise coming from me because I can’t stand real estate agents… “ - Louisiana

“We had a excellent experience using Tommy Taylor as our Realtor. He walked us through the process of selling our own house and purchasing another one. Questions were answered expertly and he let us know all the different options we had available to us. He went out of his way to make sure we were happy. We know there are thousands of realtors in the Texas Hill Country, but he was recommended to us by a friend and NOW we will never use another! Tommy Taylor is the ONLY realtor that we will use for our future property needs.” - Fredericksburg, TX

“When my wife and I started looking for a house we were all over the place with options and hurdles, and I feel most real estate agents would have at the very least gotten aggravated and lost interest especially when it looked like the financing might not go through. Tommy never wavered and was always cheerful and positive and continued to give us first class customer service even after the 50th house he showed us. Along with being treated like a friend, he gave sound advice and did so with a honest straight forward approach that made me feel at ease about everything that goes into buying a house. This is not easy to do because I am very skeptical about everything, especially when it involves 30 years of my life. He was able to make one of the most nerve wrecking, stressful experiences in my life almost pleasant because I knew I could depend on him to be honest and on my side…I would recommend Tommy Taylor as a Real estate agent to any of my family and close friends.” - Ingram, TX
