Home Staging Tips in Palm Beach County- PACKAGING YOUR HOME TO SELL!

PACKAGING YOUR HOME TO SELL!

When you make the decision to place your home on the market, it is time to completely change your emotions concerning the home.  What I mean by this is that you now have to look at your house as a product to sell.  When you think about the dollars and marketing strategies for products that are sold, there are millions of dollars spent on getting the product to look a certain way.

 Putting your home on the market should be evaluated, scrubbed and staged as a product to SELL!  It doesn't have to be difficult and you certainly don't have to spend millions of dollars getting it ready.  A few strategies below can help you get your home SOLD:

1. CLEAN everything!  Windows, gutters, exterior, baseboards, cabinet fronts, carpets, floors, closets.  The product you are trying to sell must sparkle!

 

1. REPAIR items that appear to be worn or are not functioning properly.  Doing a few minor repairs now can help you survive the Inspection process.  Go through every room in your home with a critical eye and make a list of what you need to do.

 

1. STAGE your home.  I know that there are people out there who don't think staging is effective and I disagree.  Certainly you don't have to go overboard yet a few strategically staged practices can make a huge difference in the way your home is presented.

 

1. PICTURES of the home need to be done professionally or at the very least done by someone who has the correct equipment!  Good pictures are a non-negotiable item!

 

1. SPRUCE UP THE YARD!  Fresh mulch, keep mowed, paint if needed, trim hedges and plant some color in the yard!
