You have decided to put your home on the market and just like all the sellers out there...YOU WANT THE HIGHEST POSSIBLE PRICE FOR YOUR HOME!  Well, to get the highest price sometime as a homeowner you need to take advantage of some cheap, but effective staging tips.  All buyer's will compare your home to other homes they see.  Taking the extra time to showcase important elements of your home could mean a faster sale at a higher price!

First Tip - FREE your home of clutter.  This means pack up the collection hanging plates, years of Wellington Home For Salepictures frames, and all those rarely used kitchen equipment that are just taking up counter space.

Second Tip - Freshen up paint...It's easy to do and can make an immediate impact!  For the most part it is the least expensive home improvement project you can do.  You can pick or choose the areas that need it most and remember to keep everything as neutral in color as possible.  Don't skip out on painting the trim or baseboards.  Buyer's will appreciate the fresh paint and the sense the home has been properly maintained.

Third Tip - Keep the home feeling bright and airy.  This may mean you will have to declutter a room or remove items from the walls.  You may want to consider adding extra table or floor lighting.  Be sure all your window coverings are open during showings and allow for as much natural light as possible.  Replacing out dated light fixtures may be worth the investment and can add an immediate impact to just about any room.  Be sure all the windows and screens are cleaned before you start showing your home.

Forth Tip - "Buyer's will focus on your bathrooms and kitchen...so you should too!"  A simple and effective idea to update a kitchen or bath is be sure your grout and caulking is clean.  Just spending an afternoon scrubbing the grout in the floors could bring you a higher offer!  Updating the bath hardware or kitchen faucet are some rather inexpensive ideas to improve the appeal of a dated area.

Fifth Tip - Curb appeal...The old saying "you never get a second chance, to make a first impression".  Is very true when it comes to selling your home.  It's always a good idea to plant some fresh flowers, install some fresh mulch, and pressure wash all exterior walk ways.  You can do all of this over a weekend and the cost is minimal, however the impact to a buyer could be substantial!

Ryan's Bonus Tip - If you have too much stuff in your garage or thru-out your home.  Consider renting a storage unit!  Most local facilities offer discount, such as buy 2 months get 1 free.  Shop around and this could be an excellent way to start the packing, while improving the experience for home buyers as they see your home.
