GOAL

To complete minor repairs, declutter, and stage a home in order to maximize its appeal to prospective buyers, potentially reducing the amount of time the home is on the market and increasing the selling price, while helping the client prepare for their upcoming move.

SERVICES

• OHO will work with the seller to decide what to keep, donate, sell or trash in order to declutter the home.
• OHO will pack items that a seller will be eventually moving to their new home.  Removing these items from the current space will create a less cluttered look and feel that will be appreciated by potential buyers.  This step will also help considerably in the preparation of upcoming move.
• OHO will assist the unwanted items that need to be trashed, donated or sold.
• OHO ‘s on staff handyman will provide a free estimate to complete repair work that may be essential to the sale of the home.

Remember:  Anytime or money invested in decluttering and depersonalizing a home will bring back more money in return, and hopefully a faster sale.

Declutter and Depersonalize

• Your clients are going to be moving shortly anyway so it’s in their best interest to go ahead and start getting rid of the things they’ll never need again and boxing up the things they can live without for a couple of months.
• Sellers will agree:  “Why drag clutter to their new homes!”  which is costly in the form of time, energy and money.
• They should clean out about 50% of the things in their closet, most of the knickknacks displayed around the home, and enough furniture to make the rooms look open and inviting.

• Countertops should be clean and uncluttered.  Even the cabinets and drawers should contain only a few items, because, as you know, serious buyers will be opening doors and drawers; and they will want to see a lot of space.
• Clients should know how important it is for them to remove most of their family photographs and personal collections.  Buyers are trying to envision themselves living in every home they tour and it’s very hard for them to do that when faced with the seller’s personal items.  Every room of the house should have a general appeal for the majority of buyers.

And by hiring OHO directly, you are in control; you identify the goals and direct which tasks take priority. 

Your recommendations will be acted upon without risking your business relationship with your client. 

You are staging the home but your hands remain CLEAN!

Case Study

Problem:

You suggest a seller declutter their space (and they may even agree with you), but then you return to the home and find no noticeable change.

Dilemma:

Do you push the issue and risk offending, and possibly losing, the client?  OR

Do you ignore the issue, even though the clutter will likely have a negative affect on the salability of the home?

Solutions:

Hire OHO to Stage the home. 

OHO will work with your client to declutter the home so it is staged and ready to be sold.  And YOU, the Realtor, can keep your hands clean – literally and figuratively!
