You want to sell your property faster? You have a garden, a balcony, a terrace, put everything on it! Garden staging is here to help you! This technique is to the garden what home staging is to the house: it is both to depersonalize the place so that the future buyer can project himself there but also to make it welcoming and harmonious. To follow, some steps and tips in garden staging.
What is garden staging?
The garden staging aims to optimize the green spaces of your property in order to facilitate its sale. Like home staging, garden staging is also used to depersonalize a property in order to help potential buyers project themselves in their future living space.
A beautiful, well-maintained and well-designed garden can quickly become a trigger for the purchase of a property. A garden or even a balcony are very much appreciated by potential buyers and can become a real "coup de coeur" pushing to buy, provided they are perfectly maintained.
Why go into garden staging?
So topical, the development of its outdoor space, whether a small balcony or a garden is THE first thing to do if you want to sell your property. As a bonus, you will benefit from it all the time of the sale for the beautiful days, isn't life beautiful? Spring is often the best time to sell, so you might as well take advantage of it to showcase the ultimate grail sought by all buyers if you are lucky enough to have one!
Whether it is small (balcony) or larger (terrace or garden), the green lung of your property is a sure-fire hit if it is well laid out and valued!
Tips for a successful garden staging
1 - Space clearing.
Removal of old garden furniture, used pots and planters... Often gardens have a role they should not have, hosting year after year a dried up Christmas tree, an outdated barbecue, broken pots... And this decoration can quickly become a deterrent during visits!
2 - Reclaiming the lawns
Installation of sod if necessary for an immediate effect, cleaning of the paths with a pressure jet, embellishment of the outside furniture if it is "recoverable", otherwise we opt for a change, radical but effective.
3 - Re-use of existing plants. Plants in poor condition are removed, plants that have been neglected by the shears are rejuvenated by appropriate pruning, we dress the foot of trees with perennials or annuals.
4 - Plant staging
New pots, new plants: we favor exuberance and long flowering periods (rental is possible during the sale), backed up by temporary automatic watering or our regular maintenance visits on site.
5 - Renovation of floors
We can go as far as renovating the floors if they are too unsightly and devalue a place: it is better in this case to invest to enhance the place and arouse the excitement of future buyers.
Gardens, an increasingly coveted space
Since the first containment, the search for larger properties with outdoor spaces has exploded. The presence of a terrace or a garden has become a key element in the choice of a property. Never has the quest for a more outward-looking living space been so strong.
And yes, the garden can really be considered as a room in its own right even if you don't go there in every season, it often extends the living room or the kitchen and thus provides a feeling of space!
According to recent studies, the garden has become a "room" in the house. It is even the 2nd most important room, just behind the living room and... in front of the kitchen. The garden is thus experienced as a lever for property development, but also as a means of improving one's health and personal well-being: one third of our fellow citizens dream of a fruit or vegetable garden. A trend that echoes the search for a healthier diet and lifestyle.
In conclusion, the sale of a property can be long and tedious. When one wishes to sell a property all the tricks to accelerate this process are good to take. During a visit it is often complicated for a potential buyer to project himself in the property. One of the tips given by many real estate agencies to facilitate the sale is to depersonalize it as much as possible. During the visit, it will be easier for the potential buyer to imagine himself living in this property.
