Home Staging Tips
- the first impression is the last impression and you only get one shot at it.
- Clear the clutter, put toys and anything extra away or donate to charity- buyers like to see space
- Rearrange furniture to define each room as it is meant to be
- Apply a fresh coat of paint (neutral shades preferably)
- Kitchen counters should be clear with only one small appliance and two or three accessories visible.
- Kitchen and bathroom cabinets should be clean and organized
- If kitchen or bathroom cabinets and counter tops are not up to date consider refacing or updating to add value to your home.
- Bathrooms should be thoroughly cleaned and shower curtains replaced
- Organize and clear out closets, buyers would like to see what storage they are getting.
- Floor, carpets should be clean
- Clear walls from too many family pictures or art. Keep only a select few on the walls.
- Repair any thing that is broken, cracked etc.
- Garage should be clear of all clutter and swept clean. Cars should be parked on the garage during appointments.
- Porches should be cleared out. Fresh flower baskets should be placed neatly
