You never have a second chance at a first impression. Our goal is to help your prospective buyers fall in love with your home the minute they walk in the door. Here is a list of tips when staging your home to sell.
Cleanliness will keep it selling for less:
Imagine seeing your home for the first time. Is ever room titty, free of dust and dirt? Steam clean your carpets, mop or wax your floors. Wash the walls if there are any spots. Clean the air conditioning and heating vents. Dust the fixtures and put a little working into cleaning your kitchen and bathrooms. Be sure that your tile grout doesn't have mildew on it. Clean inside and out of all your major appliances like your stove, refrigerator as well as your washer and dryer.
Clutter Free appeals to your best buyers.
Organize the things on your shelves. Then get ride of the stuff that you have been meaning to get ride of. This is a good time to take your old clothing, furniture and random items to Goodwill. Many people use this as an opportunity for a garage sale. Getting ride of clutter will help free up space; making your home feel more spacious and the rooms feel more open. Systematically place mirrors so you can magnify the space your
home has.
Make Your Home Generically Your Buyers Home
When you put away family photos, knick-knacks, collectibles and souvenirs you depersonalize your home. When you depersonalize your home it becomes easier for your average buyers to imagine living there.
Freshen-Up
Adding a fresh coat of paint and laying new carpet will clean and brighten up your home. Ensure that the items in your home are modern and tasteful. Use neutral tones on your walls and floors. Try to make you home look as close to a model home as possible.
Smelling Better
Strong smells can ruin a sale, so focus your attention on getting ride of odors from your pet, cooking and cigarettes. Delicately scented candles or have cookies baking can make for better smells when showing your home.
Curb Appeal
Home buyers decide whether or not to look inside a house by the appearance of your home's exterior. Paint or wash the outside of your home. Check your gutters and chimney and make necessary external fixes. Keep your lawn cut and flower beds weeded.
Your Pets
I have had a dog my whole life. But not everyone loves pets. If its the difference between selling your home in a challenging market or missing out on that one perfect buyer... then remove your pet during showings.
Give Your Buyers Space
Go somewhere else when your home is being shown. It can be very uncomfortable for your buyer to look through your home while your there. It is also hard for your buyer to think about your home... as their home when you are present.
