Staging Your Home

Having a well staged home is an important step in the buying/selling process as it influences how quickly your home is sold and also the price it fetches. A successful home staging process requires a good plan. Here are some of the steps that would give you excellent results.

Home Staging Basics:

Home StagingRemove all family photos to create space and cut down on clutter. Potential buyers will want to imagine their own things in your home and by eliminating personal mementos you give them the ability to place themselves into those spaces.

Home StagingCreate a welcoming smell in your home by using light scents to remove bad odors which may discourage potential buyers. Place candles around in strategic places like by the garbage in the kitchen, in bathrooms and entry ways. Lighting them before a showing can create an enticing environment when entering the home.

Home StagingMake sure your windows are clean and functioning properly. Clean windows bring more light into your home and make smaller spaces look bigger.

Home StagingRepair all broken items. Take the time to make the small repairs around your home that you have been lagging on. Look around your home and try to imagine it from the buyers perspective. Taking the time to repair holes in the wall, replace broken windows, put some WD-40 on squeaky doors and make any necessary general repairs.

Home StagingCreate more space in your house by either rearranging your furniture or moving to other rooms.

Home StagingKeep your floors and walls sparkling clean by vacuuming carpets and hard wood floors, scrubbing and cleaning tiles and grout all over your house.

Home StagingTo eliminate lingering bad odors, empty your garbage daily.

Home StagingRemove and store seasonal clothes from closets.

Home StagingRent a storage space. Remove all visible storage boxes from closets and garage.

Home StagingUse mirrors generously. A mirror at the end of a long hallway makes the home look bigger. A mirror opposite the bathroom vanity pushes walls back and makes small bathrooms appear bigger.
