Staging your home before you sell it may sound like an elaborate, daunting process but the process of staging is mainly just about de-cluttering and showing your home in the best possible light!
Think of it like, preparing for guests to visit or entertaining for potential buyers of your home but taking it to the next level.
Deciding to put your home on the market and opening it up to showings is not easy. But knowing that the property is in tip-top shape and that it looks show ready, will help make the process easier.
Here are some tips to prepare your home for showings also known as staging:
Tip # 1 De-clutter
If there are things around the house that no longer serve you and your family’s needs, boxes piled high in the garage and just an accumulation of everyday living – now is the time to part with it. Hold a garage sale to share your treasures with your community or donate to charity. This is the perfect time of year to purge before the holidays when so many new things tend to find their way into our homes.
Tip# 2 Wrap up any and all unfinished projects around the house
Organize your closets and bring in professional organizers, if needed. If there are any renovations projects pending now is the time to get the project completed so that buyers who tour your home will feel comfortable knowing that everything has been taken care of.
Tip #3 Decorate for the holidays (but don’t overdo it)
Staging your home to sell may mean hiring a professional staging company to update the décor of your home to best fit the architecture and style of the property but an easy update to bring a warm welcoming feeling to any home this time of year are modest holiday decorations. What a wonderful way to bring cheer into the property and make it easy for buyers to see themselves creating a lifetime of memories in what may be their new home. I would suggest removing any front door decorations for a photo shoot so they are not in the photos after the holiday is over!
