Set the Stage for Home Sales with 8 Simple Staging Tips
If you are trying to sell your home, you want to entice potential home buyers and sell as quickly as possible. Here are our Top 8 Home Staging Tips to “set the stage for a faster home sale”. #sellitfaster
- Curb Appeal: The first thing potential home buyers see is the view from road. Boost your curb appeal by power washing walkways and siding, adding large house numbers, and washing windows. No matter how small or large your porch, place a welcome mat, plants, or furniture to maximize appeal.
- Clean, Clean, Clean: You want to showcase the best parts of your home, so cleaning is extremely important. Consider hiring cleaning pros to help your home really sparkle and shine.
- De-Clutter: The more of your home a potential buyer sees, the better. Clear clutter away, even storing offsite if necessary. You don’t have to remove every personal item – after all, potential buyers know you live there. Balance is key.
- Dining Style: Style formal dining rooms with smaller centerpieces and accents for a less-formal, inviting appeal.
- Look at the Floor: Have solid floors cleaned and carpets steamed before showing. If your hardwoods look too worn, consider having them refinished, or invest in some chic area rugs.
- Arrange Furniture: Create an inviting conversation area in the living room by pulling furniture off the walls and arranging it in cozy, symmetrical pairs.
- Gender Neutrals: Overall, the most inviting homes are painted in neutral shades that are gender neutral and easy to accessorize.
- Organize Toys: There is no doubt that families with children will view your home. Organize kid-friendly spaces so they are inviting and show off the potential for a well-organized kids zone.
