Top 10 Home Staging Tips

Top 10 Home Staging Tips
By Stacey Davis

1. Curb Appeal: Capture potential buyers with a well maintained and inviting 1st impression. From the curb to the door inspect it all.

2. Appeal To All The Senses: Address any odor issues such as, pets, plants, and cooking. Clean and in some places replace problem areas

3. Ageless: By keeping things like appliances, carpet, and paint, buyers view the home as classic instead of “old”.

4. Lights!: Open the shades and turn on the lamps. They want to see what they are buying.

5. White Glove Clean: That means everything…cabinets, doors, baseboards, light switches, etc.

6. Be Ruthless: If you don’t use it, or love it, lose it. Clean out closets, cabinets, counters, and basements. Donate to local charities and receive tax deductions. Then you don’t have to move it.

7. Direct Traffic: Create clear traffic flow with proper furniture placement. Accentuate focal points with stylish accessories, and art.

8. Don’t Leave Them Guessing: Give valuable square footage a purpose. Buyers need to know how to use each room.

9. Fresh Flowers: People love them and remember them.

10. Great Photos: Over 80% of buyers shop online 1st. Have your home professionally staged and entice buyers from the first moment the see your home.
