STAGING STRATEGIES

Dated: May 12 2020

Staging your home is all about putting the best foot forward for potential buyers.  By highlighting

its most desirable features, you can draw more interest for your home and leave a lasting 

impression that is sure to help you sell it more quickly  Here's what you should keep in mind as

you prepare for your next open house or viewing!

*Help them visualize it as their own.  Make it easier for buyers to imagine themselves

making your house their home by removing personal memorabilia, knick-knacks, and photos.

Instead replace them with simple decors, such as paintings, nature images, and plants.

*Think sleek instead of comfy.  Modern-day buyers are leaning toward modern, crisp, clean interiors

over comfy, homey looks.  When staging your home, keep a minimalist mindset, and incorporate

bright colors and metal accents.

*Deep clean the small spaces.  It's obvious to say you should clean your home before viewing,

but don't forget to cover your bases by deep cleaning the small spots.

*Spruce up your landscaping.  The first impression your home gives to potential buyers is its

exterior.  Ensure you have a freshly mowed lawn, neat hedges and shrubbery, bright flowers, and a 

clean driveway.

*Set the mood.  A home is so much more than just the way it looks, so you need to appeal to the other

senses.  Prior to having potential buyers over, set the mood by burning delicious smelling candles.
