How I Stage® a Home
Sellers who want to put there homes on the market often ask me how do they benefit from Staging. Also I hear from sellers who have had their homes on the market for quite some time and they are now looking for a solution to sell their homes before there is yet another price deduction.
Ten Tips For Staging A Home:
1. Create curb appeal outside to get the Buyer Inside. You must Stage® the outside of your home to get the buyer on the inside of your home. All of your property has to be Staged, and it starts on the outside.
2. Stand at doorway of every room and see it through the eyes of a buyer. Be tough and say to yourself what can I live without while my home is on the market.
3. Clear all unnecessary objects. Store away collectables, family photos, and any other items that may take up necessary space and create a distraction for those visiting your home. As you clear out space, keep in mind that you want buyers mentally to move in with their own things.
4. Color - Paint all the rooms that need it. Pick neutral colors for the walls and floors, it will make your house feel bigger and prospective buyers will not turn away when they realize they would have to repaint a red bedroom or purple living room.
5. Keep your home clean. It’s very hard to envision living somewhere when buyers first have to mentally ignore that the home they are visiting is dirty. Make sure your home is absolutely clean, both inside and outside.
6. Get Rid of Smells. I always say “If You can smell it, you can’t sell it!” Make sure to permanently remove any odors before you put your house on the market. Don’t cover up the smells, eliminate them!
7. Create Space. It’s impossible to envision living in a home where all you see is furniture and no open space. Consider putting extra furniture into storage if you have too much furniture in any room. And sometimes you can move one piece of furniture from one room into another room where it looks ever better.
8. Play light FM music every day in the house for all viewings. Lights should be kepted on timers in dark rooms.
9. Store extra possessions in a rental storage unit.
10. Keep it Staged until Closing. The best insurance you could ever have for your sale to close is to keep your home Staged till closing.
