Buyers today are much more savvy and have certain expectations when viewing properties….and sellers are taking note! Sellers realize that staging their home gives them that edge needed to outshine the competition. The investment, whether of your own time or financially by hiring a pro, the end results are well worth it!! The main goal is to the give the buyers a sense of a space with a neutral palette allowing them to envision themselves and their furniture in the home. Who knows…it might look so good you may not want to move!!
CLEAN!! Get that vacuum and duster out and get at it. Don’t forget the upper cabinets and drapery panels/rods.
Clear out any furnishings that aren’t necessary or blocking hallway/closet access. Give a sense of space not only for living but for storage!
Tidy up countertops, shower stalls, dressers, leaving only necessary items pleasing to the eye.
Touch up paint or repaint if colors are outdated or too loud.
Give your draperies, carpetand bedding a good wash. Keep your laundry out of sight and your beds nicely made.
Rent a storage unit to house extra belongings. There are companiesthat will deliver a storage unit to your address. When all packed up they will return and then store itat a facility until you’re ready to collect.
Take care of minor repairs (caulking in kitchen and bathrooms,install new bulbs, etc) and replace any outdated fixtures.
Curb appeal! Clear pathways, prune bushes and move garbage bins if possible. Add color and dimension with planters.
Afragrant bouquet of flowersis alwayspleasant!
Pay close attention to the front door and your entryway. Leave a lasting first impression…you only get one shot!
One IMPORTANT last step: Take pictures and have a good look. Would YOU buy this house?
