Residence staging presents a really unique opportunity. The prospects you’re touring around your community have most likely toured other communities within the area, carefully picking and choosing before they choose the option that is best for them. With residence staging, you can give your residence the benefit of bringing the big “wow”, and looking like a place that is easy to call home. Staging can be accomplished in all sorts of ways, with plenty of low-cost options available, and one way to make a big impression is to stage along with the season.

With autumn around the corner, community management teams may wish to begin considering how to stage their residences for the fall season. 4 fall staging tips for attracting autumn leases include:

 

  • Bake something – Nothing says fall quite like the smell of warm cookies baking in the oven. If possible, bake a batch of simple cookies in the oven of the staged residence before a tour is expected to arrive, and have the warm cookies available on the counter for snacking when prospects come in. Not only will this communicate that you manage a caring community, but it will get visitors in the warm, comforting, and relaxed mood of the autumn season.
  • Use an autumn color palette – With décor in the staged residence, using autumn friendly colors can really bring the atmosphere of the season. Vases, blankets, napkins on a set table, or hand towels in shades of gold, russet, deep red, and forest greens creates an instant feeling of fall.
  • Use warm textiles – Area rugs and blankets using plush and warm fabrics in fall-friendly colors really adds the cozy to a touring residence. Draping a thick chunky blanket over a sofa in a touring residence alone can get touring prospects really imaging the space as their own comfortable sanctuary.
  • Add a little curb appeal – Staging a community isn’t solely about staging the interiors of residences, and adding a little seasonal curb appeal can impress touring prospects as well as draw in potential new ones. Adding a few pumpkins, some seasonal blooms, and leaf décor turns your community into a festive and fall-friendly space.

 

Staging can be catered to any season, and it gives your community a festive and fun appeal that touring prospects truly appreciate. For more about staging your residence for the autumn season, or any season, contact OccupancySolutions.com today.
