STAGING YOUR HOME FOR SALE
Try looking at your home “through the buyers eyes” as though you’ve never seen it or been there.
Any time or money
invested on the following will be more money in return , and hopefully a faster sale.

- Freshen up the home by painting the walls a light, neutral color, such as an antique white or ivory to appeal to a wider range of buyers and make each room look larger.
- Take a close look at the floor coverings in each room. If you have hardwood floors and have carpet hiding them, you will always make money by removing it, even if the floors are not in perfect condition.
- Allow as much light as possible to enter the room. Open up or remove all draperies or other window coverings.
- Removing the clutter of everyday life-all utilitarian items, stacks of paperwork, utensils, hiding electronic equipment and television sets.
- Remove furniture from each room that does not go with the décor, such as items that are worn or of an unappealing color.
- Replace the remaining room furnishings in a way that makes best use of the character of the room. The room should be balanced so that people do not focus on one particular piece of furniture.
- Now that you’ve removed the clutter from your home, adding some nice but interesting pieces will greatly elevate the perceived value of the home.
- Clean, clean, clean. Every crevasse within the home should be spotless and gleaming. Normal weekly cleaning cannot come close to the quality of clean you need.
- You can’t over spend on fresh plants and orchids, elaborate floral arrangements and green plants. All these provide a strong addition to the ambience you want to create.
- Pet check Are there any signs that this is a pet’s home? Be sure to clean hide kitty litter, pet toys and bedding.
- Outside. Clear patios or decks of all small items, such as small planters, flower pots, charcoal, barbecues, toys etc… Put them in the garage or a storage unit.
