Staging a property effectively
can help get your home off the property market quickly. When selling a
property, you want to make sure it appeals to potential buyers and that they
can envision themselves living in it. Home staging is a technique undertaken by
most professional home sellers, and it is a great way to highlight your
property’s best features. Not only will it attract more potential buyers, when
done properly it can also add value to your home. Here are a few home staging
tips to help you turn heads for more money.
Make Sure Your Property Has Curb Appeal
When it comes to property, first
impressions count. One of the first things potential buyers notice is your
front door. In fact, some studies suggest that homes with dark colored front doors
can sell for more than originally expected. If your current front door is in
good working order, you don’t even need to purchase a new unit. Simply give the
door a lick of paint, and don’t forget to touch up the hardware, too. Besides
the entry door, make sure you have a working doorbell and that the rest of the
facade is impeccable. If you have an outdoor space, show it off. Patio
furniture and potted plants at the door can help make your property shine from
the outside.
Empty and Declutter
Prospective buyers need to be
able to imagine themselves living in your home. A cluttered hallway, personal
bric-a-brac in the living room and framed photographs on the walls can make it
harder for people to imagine a future in the property. Create a blank canvas by
de-personalizing your space and removing all of the excess clutter from your
entire home.
Deep Clean Your Home
When viewing a property many
people are understanding about personal circumstances. However, no one wants to
purchase a dirty, unkempt home. After you have emptied and decluttered your
space, you need to deep clean every single room and surface. Make sure you take
the time to scrub the floors, remove hanging cobwebs from the ceiling and erase
scuff marks from the kick boards.
Organized Open Closets
If you store clothes in open
closets, make sure everything is neat and tidy. An overstuffed closet filled
with cheap, mismatched hangers can give a bad impression. Sort out your clothes
and put lesser worn garments into storage boxes. Next, dispose of your old
hangers and replace them with a high-quality set that matches. Wooden hangers
are a great choice when staging a home. They will make your clothes look great
in the closet, and you can even take them with you once your property has sold.
Freshen Up With a Candle
The sense of smell is incredibly
powerful, and it can evoke different types of emotions. So, make sure your
property has a fresh aroma
by lighting scented candles.
The smell of herbs offer a homely
vibe, vanilla makes a room feel cozy and citrus fruit scents are fresh and
long-lasting. Scented candles are great for masking odors from pets and smoke,
too.
