Today, we'll discuss how to prepare your home for the market. There are a few misconceptions about home staging, and many sellers don't see the value in it. In our experience, we've found that investing a little bit of time and money into staging your home increases the chances of selling your home faster and for more money.
The first, most important thing you can do is declutter your home. This is extremely cost-effective. Pack away anything you don't need while you are selling. Take down any pictures or personal items that may distract potential buyers from envisioning themselves living in your home.
Adding a fresh coat of paint is another low-cost, high-return option for preparing your home for the market. If you have peeling paint or bright colors, paint over them with neutral earth tones.
Next, you can consult with a real estate agent or professional home stager to give you some advice on staging your home room by room. Our goal is to make your home appeal to the maximum number of potential buyers. It's a highly customized process; we may use your existing furniture, or bring items into the home. If you occupy the home while it's on the market, you need to maintain its appearance, because sometimes clutter will creep back in.
If you have any more questions on home staging, or about real estate in general, give me a call or send me an email. I look forward to hearing from you!
