Putting your house on the market entails more than hiring an agent and putting a For Sale sign in the front yard. A good marketing strategy is what counts and a major part of that is making sure that your property is attractive to as many prospective buyers as possible.
Here are some easy staging tips that can make a huge difference in the appearance of your home:
- CLEAN, clean, clean — A dirty house is NEVER attractive! Have carpets cleaned and your hardwood floors polished. It's also a perfect time to clean those windows!
- Declutter — Store away all personal items to create open and uncluttered space throughout the home, including your closets.
- Create a clean slate — Painting the walls and changing the carpets to a neutral color allows those prospective buyers to envision their own personal style in the home. Always choose a color like Linen or Eggshell, never Stark White, to open up a room and make it feel clean and new.
- Add lots of light — Brightening up the entire home makes it look fresh and attractive. An new coat of paint is inexpensive and can dramatically change the appearance of a dark room. Change lightbulbs to a higher wattage and add more lighting if possible. Replace dark window treatments with a sheer or semi-sheer blind or curtain, making the most of natural sunlight.
