Home Staging Tips For A Quick Home Sale
Make sure to properly prepare, clean and stage your home for a quick home sale.
Statistics proof that a home that has been perfectly cleaned, updated as much as possible (colors, possibly appliances, decor) and well maintained brings the highest sales price. Be diligent, be picky and as a seller put yourself in the buyers’ shoes to see what they expect from your home.
Hiring a home inspector is money well spent. A home inspection will uncover any deferred maintenance. Budget for a roof inspection and HVAC/AC cleaning and service as well, best is to have it done, before the home is marketed and present the report to any potential buyers.

- Be just as diligent on the inside. Repair ANYTHING noted in the inspection report – even if it’s a very small item, and everything else that you see that has not been mentioned but shows signs of wear and tear.
- Deep clean all areas of the house. If necessary, have your wooden floors refinished, your carpets steam cleaned. A hand steam cleaner is particularly helpful to easily clean and restore tile and grout.
- Update your home as much as possible. Some things are easily done or are not too expensive but require some elbow grease:
- repaint tiles
- update light fixtures, water fixtures, door handles
- paint the home in neutral colors
- update a fireplace: paint or enhance your bricks with stone color enhancer, spraypaint an old fireplace frame and screen
- stain tired cabinets
- [new] stainless steel appliances will bring a great return for sellers
- Let the sunshine in! Utilize natural light as much as possible. A large mirror can help in a small space….
- …that said make sure the home is properly lighted with floor lamps, ceiling lamps and lights.
- Make sure the homes temperature is comfortable for buyers, nice and cozy warm on colder days, and nice and cool in summer time.
- Unclutter each room, remove excess furniture.
- Let the buyer imagine himself in your house, by de-personalizing the home. The use of each room should be clear.
- Pay attention to any unpleasant odors in the home. Consider removing old rugs and buy some cheap new ones. Clean cat litter boxes frequently.
- Rearrange your furniture to allow a flow from room to room and hence ‘cash flow’ into your pockets. Consider renting furniture to appeal to your buyers. Consult your home staging professional.
