Brightening & Staging a Vacant house?
hi gys -
i've closed on a foreclosed property.
we're now getting ready to sell it.
the unit is vacant. its a high grade quality condominium - but has no light fixtures from the builder in living room and bedrooms -that is typical in these developments.
something obvious that i did not realized until now was that most lighting in occupied units come from floor lamps and custom fixtures installed by owners/ tenants - all of which is now gone since they moved out.
so now i feel that even if we put the best quality floors and paint in this unit - it wont show half as good as a staged house that may not even have quality materials.
so the question - how do investors, house flippers and you guys typically do the showings?
today i had this repeat experience when i went to see this another great townhouse in the suburban - no lighting fixtures from the builder. kitchen and baths are well lit - but the bedrooms have no light fxitures at all.
the living room had this one glow-bomb center light on the ceiling. bah.
