Staging your home is one of the
most important parts of the home selling process and is often one of the ways
in which home sellers can easily miss a sale. Staging your home requires a bit
of work in order to do it successfully, but once accomplished can mean you have
shown your home to a variety of interested potential buyers and are that much
closer to returning on your investment.
Staging a home is essential for
showing potential buyers the many possibilities your home offers them. They
should be able to walk in and see themselves living in your home once they have
bought it. A successful home staging experience means that people walk in and
out with a vision of their futures spent in the home you are selling.
Taking yourself out of your home
in order to stage it is difficult, but not impossible! There are many ways in
which you can highlight the best of your home without leaving the clutter of
your life around. When you are staging your home make sure to remove any
evidence of 'you' such as family photos, refrigerator magnets, and evidence of
kids or pets. Make sure you put everything away where it belongs (like clothes,
shoes and linens) because the people who come to your open house will poke
their noses in every nook and cranny of your home.
Another tip for staging your home
is to think like a buyer- what parts of the house would you pay the most
attention to? What elements of the home are good or bad? Is the furniture in
the room distracting? What about the color of the walls? Walk through your home
viewing it like a buyer and remove any extra furniture that might be cluttering
a space as well as any other distracting elements. You want to take your home
down to its simplest form while still giving potential buyers the ability to
picture themselves living in this space.
Each room of your home will need
to be staged differently to accent the form and function of those places. For
instance, the bedroom should exude comfort and relaxation with neutral colors
and minimal furniture around. Remove some of the clothes from your closet to
make that space seem bigger and make sure to deep clean everything.
Bathrooms are another room that
is often overlooked, but should be taken great care of. Bathrooms should be
simple and chic, with a complementing color scheme and impeccable cleanliness.
Notice if the bathroom fixtures need updating and don't be afraid to spend a
little but more on new towel rods, a shower curtain, cabinet knobs, etc. A few
candles never hurt, either!
You should also plan to deep
clean every room of the house, either yourself or hiring a professional. Steam
cleaning the carpets, rugs, dusting the curtains, and making sure to scrub even
the most unnoticed of places can make your home sparkle.
Staging your home is one of the
most vital parts of selling it!
