Staging Your Home To Sell!

1. Declutter and Depersonalize- One of the primary objectives of home staging is to help prospective buyers visualize the space as their own.  Clutter takes up space, and space is what sells.  Make your home look bigger and more desirable by editing down to just the basics. 

2. Define Each Space- Every room needs to have a single, well defined purpose. It will help show the buyers how to maximize the square footage. 

3. Create A Minimalist Kitchen- A kitchen is often the heart of the home, but it shouldn't look lived-in when your're trying to sell it. Remove everything from the counters and the dining table, including food and appliances.

4. Pare Down the Living Room- If you have bulky furniture in your living room or too many tables or chairs, sell them or put them in storage. 

5. Improve Your Curb Appeal- The exterior and the entryway will be the first things the buyer will see so they need to make a good impression.  If they're a negelected mess the buyer might not even want to see the inside of the house.

6. Let the Light Shine In- Brighten up by letting as much light shine in the house as possible.  Open the blinds on all of the windows, which in addition to letting in more natural light will also make the room seem bigger.

7. Repatch & Repair- Start with a melamine foam eraser pad and go room to room removing any scuffs from walls.  Keep an eye out for any areas that may need a little more TLC.
