Selling well means selling quickly and for top dollar!
Miriam Hill has channeled her years of experience in project management, advertising design and property renovation into SellWell Home Staging, serving the Twin Cities of Minneapolis & St. Paul and the surrounding region.
“Every home is different – there is no formula to staging a home, it’s about identifying the gap between the home’s pre-staged appeal and prospective buyer’s expectations, then bridging that gap as much as time and budget allow, always focused on the prize of selling quickly and achieving the best price” – Miriam Hill – Lead Designer, SellWell Home Staging
Preparing a property for sale, starts with a home visit during which Miriam evaluates, makes recommendations and begins the process of transforming the home into a market-ready property. At the end of this visit, the home seller will be armed with a room-by-room action plan and clear priorities. The home seller decides if they will implement these recommendations themselves, or have SellWell Home Staging do it for them, or a combination of both.
Vacant, occupied, or destined for the rental market, SellWell Home Staging will prepare the property to perform in the market.
Occupied Homes
When a home is being lived in, it can be challenging for a buyer to picture themselves moving in. SellWell Home Staging will imagine the home in a fresh way and present an inviting space full of opportunities. Wherever possible, SellWell Home Staging uses clients' existing furniture and accessories, perhaps in a different way or in a different room than currently used.
Vacant Homes
When a home is vacant, it is difficult for a buyer to see their future life there, ‘will my bed fit?’ ‘where can I set up my home office?’ SellWell Home Staging can furnish the home in a way that defines spaces and possibilities. If rental furniture is needed or smaller items need to be purchased, SellWell Home Staging can source those.
Vacation Rentals
Setting up a vacation rental offers unique hurdles, the property has to photograph beautifully but it has to function intuitively. Vacationers relish comfort and convenience.
Location, Price & Appeal
SellWell Home Staging knows houses sell quickly and at the best price when likely buyers can check these 3 boxes:
- location
- correctly priced
- condition and appeal
Condition and appeal are fully in the control of the seller. SellWell Home Staging empowers clients to take that control and transform their house to maximize and accelerate the sale opportunity.
Identifying what kind of buyer is likely to be interested in buying the home is an important first step in preparing the home for sale. Is the likely buyer a first-time buyer? a buyer with a young family? an empty nester? Identifying and appealing to this likely buyer is behind SellWell Home Staging’s every decision.
SellWell Home Staging brings common sense solutions
Along with her creative flair, Miriam is a problem solver who welcomes a challenge. When transforming one kitchen, Miriam realized there was an elephant in the room – the double wall oven which, although functioning perfectly, was colored avocado green. Spending $2000 to replace it was out of the question, so Miriam took off the doors and drove to the local auto body shop and asked them to paint the green doors black – they did for just $200. That home received 3 offers its first day on the market; it sold above asking price.
