While selling your home can be stressful, staging your home is a vital part of the selling process. It can be a daunting task, but there are several things you can do to help sell your residence at top dollar:
There is cleaning, and then there is deep cleaning. Dirty bathrooms and dingy walls are the ultimate turn-offs to prospective buyers. Make sure you take the time to thoroughly clean every room and surface in your home.
Mirrors give the appearance that a room is bigger than it is and help to bring extra light into the space. They also add an upscaled style to the room.
You might be proud of your home’s inhabitants but displaying family photos can distract potential buyers. You’ll want them to envision themselves in the space, not you. Try replacing personal wall décor with mirrors and simplistic art.
Quickly dress a drab bathroom by stacking a few washcloths tied with ribbon and adding some scented candles and faux plants. Displaying all-white towels and keeping the countertops clear also help to make the space seem inviting and clean.
Make it easy for potential buyers to envision a room being used by family or friends. Your current furniture arrangement might not be what appeals to others.
The kitchen is frequently the focal point for many buyers. The countertops need to be clear, so make sure any gadgets or appliances are stored away and out of view. We all love to display those A+ report cards, but the fridge also needs to be clear of magnets and other items.
Homes are functional spaces that hold many items from our daily lives, but that visual chaos shouldn’t be on display for a showing. Anything non-essential from your daily routine should be stored away. If your house is on the market, it should look ready for new occupants. When in doubt, simplicity is best.
