Ready, Set, Stage your MoCo Home!

For more success in selling your MoCo home, try staging it for sale. There are many ways to stage your home, but where do you begin? You want to appeal to potential buyers, invite them in and make them want to stay. Start with some of the easiest and quickest ways to set the stage. Complete the three “C’s” of staging: cleaning, coloring and curb appeal.

 Move beyond the basics of cleaning. Get into the details. Give your home a deep scrubbing from top to bottom. Steam clean carpets, and mop and wax wood or laminate floors. Wash your windows. Dust from ceiling to floor; don’t forget ceiling fans and light fixtures. Remove cobwebs, clean baseboards and chair rails, and clear out those cupboards and closets. De-clutter your space. Remove personal collections, trinkets, and piles of paperwork.  Now is the time to turn in donations and clear out the recycling. Remove all possible excess items from your home, and you will open up the space, which will provide a fresh, inviting feeling for buyers.   

 Everyone loves color, but not everyone is attracted to the same shade of blue or purple. Rather than showing your style in color, paint your home in neutral tones. Neutral tones will appeal to a much wider audience and avoid any perceived offense of color or light. By painting with a neutral range of shades, you provide a blank canvas of potential to buyers. Let them picture what color will look amazing in the living room or kitchen. 

 Curb appeal is your home’s first impression. Freshen up your front yard, and buyers will want to come inside. Start with power washing the siding and any paths around your home. Clean up flowerbeds, and trim back trees and bushes. A fresh layer of bark chips around your shrubbery will liven up the yard.  Focus on details such as your front porch lighting, too. If it is small, trade up for something big and noticeable. Add in new potted plants or hanging baskets with a variety of color
