If your home has been on the market for a
while, you may want to take note of the following tips for staging your home.
Most buyers predictably respond to the same things; clean,
clutter free homes in good repair. Your Realtor may have already suggested a
few minor repairs to complete before introducing your home
to the market.
Always look at a home from the buyer's prospective. Be
objective and honest with yourself. If something bothers you about
your home, chances are good it will bother the buyer too. Do what you can to
get rid of the problem.
Preparing your home for the market means you'll likely
have some work to do.
Here are some tried and tested ideas:
1. Get rid of clutter
2. Make your entryway feel welcoming-first
impressions count
3. Set the dinner table with your best china,
in the winter turn gas fireplaces on
4. Be aware of any odors in your home and
get rid of them
5. Make sure entrances to all rooms have
an open flow
6. Make the most of the views (and, disguise
unsightly views)
7. Create counter space by removing extra
appliances
8. Avoid eccentric decor (remove wild posters
or anything that could be considered offensive)
9. Increase the wattage in light bulbs in
the laundry room, kitchen and bathrooms
10. Put photos of the family enjoying your
home in at least 3 different places
Now step back. Is the house warm and inviting? Does
it feel like home?
