Set The Stage

for a successful sale

Want to get top dollar for your home? HOME-STAGING BASICS: Clean, Clean, Clean A sparkling house will show buyers the home has been wellmaintained. Clean the carpets, scrub the bathrooms and the kitchen, dust the light fixtures and make sure the windows are spotless. Pay attention to overlooked areas like window sills and the top of the fridge.

Start by “STAGING” your house, sprucing it up to make it as appealing as possible for the largest audience. You don’t need to spend a fortune to make a fantastic first impression on would-be buyers. It’s often the smaller improvements that have the most dramatic impact and ensure a quick sale.

Get Rid of the Clutter Buyers should easily visualize themselves in the home without being distracted by your stuff. Remove personal photos, trophies, paperwork and knickknacks. Organize all of your rooms and closets to make them look larger, and keep kitchens and bathroom counters cleared of frequently used products.

Brighten the Mood

Add a Coat of Paint

Extra light makes your home more cheerful and inviting. Allow the natural light in by keeping drapes and blinds opened. Make sure all the bulbs in the house work properly, and leave the lights turned on during showings.

Painting can do wonders to refresh the interior of your home. Go with neutral colors, since they have the widest appeal.

Freshen up the Place

Minimize the odors in your house. Open the windows for 15-30 minutes each day to air it out. Keep litter boxes clean and avoid cooking greasy or strong-smelling foods that can linger. Some people even bake cookies to The small investment you make to stage your home is well create a welcoming atmosphere.

worth it. According to a 2011 report by the Real Estate Staging Association, homes that are staged can sell 78% faster than unstaged houses.
