Most sellers know that it's important that their homes look their best to stand out in the real estate market. No matter how many marble countertops and double sinks you install, however, your house still needs to be staged to sell. What is Staging?
Staging is essentially setting up your house to remove all personal touches and making it look like a space that could appeal to any homebuyer. Potential buyers don't want to see or feel you in the space. They want to see a blank canvas that could work for them. You don't want empty rooms, however, as people need to see the potential of a space. Sound confusing? It's really not! Read on for some simple staging tips and see how fast your home sells! In The Kitchen - Remove all appliances and clutter from counters. They should be completely clear. While you're at it, make sure your appliances are as clean as possible. - Clear out your dishes. Leave behind one set of matching dishes in your cabinets or cupboard and display them neatly. This allows buyers to see how open the space is and how they can utilize the storage. - Clean out cabinets and the fridge, as well. Again, you want your kitchen to look as neat as possible so buyers can really see all the space. - Set up some ambiance. Have the table set with plates, napkins, and décor. Some real estate agents even suggest baking cookies for the delicious, homey smell it lends to your home. In The Living Room - Remove items from shelving and other surface areas. This also includes pictures hanging from the walls. Buyers need to be able to picture their own families in the home, and lots of personal mementos make that difficult. - Make sure the carpet is clean. This is one of the first things people check for. - Arrange your furniture so that it shows off the room's beast features. Get rid of pieces that won't make sense for someone else. If you have a ton of furniture, it might be a good idea to put some in storage so that visitors can really get a sense of the room's space. - Place fresh flowers in a vase on the coffee table or side table. This is a small detail that can make a space feel more like home. In The Bathroom - Get rid of all the products in the shower and on tops of counters. - Clean out medicine cabinets. - Replace rollers on sliding doors. This is a cheap fix and will make a difference when viewers try to enter the shower to look in. - Invest in a new set of towels for showings. This makes the bathroom seem well decorated and organized. In The Bedrooms - Clear off dresser tops and nightstands. Again, you don't want personal items displayed. - Keep your closet as empty as possible. Visitors will want to imagine how many of their items they could fit in there. - Invest in new linens. The idea is to try and make your room to feel like a nice hotel room. - Make sure the windows are clean. Staging is simple and makes a big difference in a competitive real estate market. Follow just a few of these tips, and you'll notice a big change in how potential buyers react to your home! When considering real estate, Scituate residents visit Coastal Real Estate Partners.
