Staging For Success

People buy homes they can see themselves living in! 

Staging your home is the equivilent of dressing for success.  To get the big job you have to look your best.  Selling your home is the same. 

Think of all the model homes that the new home builders dress for the buyer to come in and fall in love...When you stage your home it becomes more appealing to a potential buyer.  This can not only improve the time frame for the sale, but also your return!

Don't know where to begin?? 

Ask yourself some of these questions...

Curb Appeal Is your lawn mowed? Are the flowers alive and blooming? Is your front step free of leaves and debris? Is your home # easily visible from the street? Remove clutter Are countertops free and clear? Have you removed unnecessary furniture throughout the house? Remove the art gallery and coupon collection from the refrigerator.

Check the bathrooms Are the surfaces clean and clear? Are shower curtains and doors hung properly? Is the flooring clean and fresh? Are towels neatly hung?

Check the walls Is paint and wallpaper fresh and clean? Are the walls free from holes? Are there any colors or objects on the walls that need to be removed?

Check the floors Is the carpet clean and free from stains? Are hard surface floors clean and free from stains?

Check windows and window coverings Are all the windows clean? Are draperies and blinds clean?

Pet check Are there any signs that this is a pet's home? Be sure to clean and remove kitty litter, pet toys and bedding.

Set the mood prior to showings Open draperies and blinds. Turn on the radio to a classical music station, set the volume on low. If you have time, cook a batch of cookies to have the warm, welcoming aroma permeating the home.

Staging makes your house look bigger, brighter, cleaner, warmer, more loving and, best of all, it makes home buyers want to buy it.
