When the time comes to sell your home in Alhambra, California, it is important that you try to make the best impression possible on prospective buyers. Making a good impression is important as it can help buyers see themselves in their new residence. One of the ways to help prospective buyers envision themselves in your house is by reducing clutter in order to and stage your home for the best possible sale. Putting Your Home’s Best Face Forward Staging a house or living space means putting your best foot forward. Presentation is key. Too many pieces of furniture in a space can make a room feel cramped and cluttered. Prospective buyers are enticed by clean, open, bright and inviting spaces, and your house needs make them feel welcome. When many people live in a home, they want to customize the space to suit their personality. For example, you might have a burnt orange, overstuffed reading chair that is incredibly comfortable, but the chair may be too old, too large, and too brightly colored. While the chair suits your personality and you love it with all of your heart, the chair may not suit the personality of a prospective buyer. A prospective buyer might find the chair to be unattractive, thus decreasing the overall value of your home. This type of situation is ubiquitous among all furniture, so if you cherish your items but you can see how a prospective buyer might be too distracted by them, what can you do? How A Storage Unit Can Help Many home sellers utilize a storage unit while they are trying to sell their homes. A storage unit can be used as a place to temporarily store your beloved furniture and home decor that may not be well-suited to prospective buyers. Home sellers often remove pieces of furniture, decor and other clutter that is suited to their specific tastes. They stage their home with color-neutral furniture and decor that appeals to a large group of prospective buyers. Since many home sellers are not quite ready to move into their new residence before selling their current one, a home seller often needs a place to store some of their belongings while staging their home for sale. Temporary storage unit options are an ideal solution for these home sellers’ storage needs. If you think that a storage unit would help you with the staging portion of your home sale, US Storage Centers’ Alhambra location offers storages spaces in a variety of sizes, and leases for different lengths of time. Leases are done on a month-to-month basis and can be renewed if your house needs to stay on the market a little longer, or while you find a new home to live in.
