Home Staging

Home staging is becoming more popular. Homes are sitting on the market longer and sellers are starting to see the benefits of home staging.  When you are in competition with other houses in your market, you need to make yours stand out.  Staging your home to appeal to potential buyers.  The key is to look at it from a prospective buyers point of view.  It is helpful to depersonalize your house.  Taking down family and personal photos may not seem to be that big of a deal but it is important for the buyers to see the house as their home.  It is also very important to start by cleaning and decluttering your home.  Cleaning and organization might mean you need to make some needed repairs.  Start with the noticeable and small things and work you way up to the big projects.  Repair holes in walls touch up paint.  Remove stains in carpet if you can.  Fix broken items.  Once you have done your cleaning start decluttering.  Rent a storage unit if needed.  Start to remove excessive furniture, clothing, and storage items.  Make the space in your home feel more roomy.  Once you have done these main steps you can start to decorate and rearrange to make the rooms more appealing to buyers.
