 You’re home’s on the market, now What? Tips by a NJ stager

While your home is on the market, your life is on hold. It's an inconvenience and you have to make sacrifices…….but there’s a big payoff and that’s selling your home as quickly as possible and moving on with your life! 

The following are no cost/low cost tips on keeping your home showroom ready:

Keep your yard manicured. Mow the lawn, trim the bushes and blow the driveway regularly so it’s free of debris. Keep in mind your home is on display for anyone who passes it so it should always look well maintained.

Wash your kitchen garbage can with bleach and spray it with Febreze, a smell neutralizer. Take it out every day because food quickly starts to rot and the odor will permeate your kitchen.  

Vacuum and dust at least twice a week and before all open houses. Those 2 jobs alone will show you maintain your home and it will look clean and sparkle.

Keep all sinks, baths and toilets clean. This doesn’t need a lot of explanation. Give it a good scrub and use bleach and Tilex to rid any mildew. Then open the window and air it out for 15 minutes.

Rent a carpet cleaner or use a carpet cleaning service to clean and neutralized any smells so your carpets not only look great, but smell clean and fresh.   

Don’t advertise Fido and Fluffy because they aren’t going to help sell your home. Besides taking them out of the house during showings, wash their beds, blankets, toys and keep all animal related things (crates, beds, dog/cat bowls) hidden when buyers are in your home.

During the evening, keep your indoor and outdoor lights on so potential buyers can see it. Don’t miss any opportunity to attract buyers!

Keep in mind that this is temporary and the payoff is selling your home as quickly as possible!
