Stage Your Home


Get Rid of Clutter
Less is more. Clear counters, keep accessories on surfaces to a minimum. Keep closets orderly…buyers WILL look in closets and cupboards. Remember: how you live in your home and how you sell it are two different things.

Clean, Clean, Clean
Clear away cobwebs, clean light fixtures, wipe water spots from faucets, make appliances sparkle- whether they’re included in the sale or not. “Clean” implies that the home is well maintained - a definite value!

Front Entry/ Curb Appeal
Making a great first impression is paramount. Paint the front door if it looks dingy, replace a worn door mat with a new one. Make sure the yard and pathway to the door is neat and welcoming.

Freshen/ Paint
Nothing gives rooms a lift like a fresh coat of paint. It’s the quickest, most affordable upgrade you can do. Your best bet is a light, neutral color to keep spaces looking larger.

Fix/ Repair
Don’t ignore missing tiles, loose trim, chipped plaster, peeling wallpaper, unfilled nail holes…it all adds up and the buyer doesn’t need a “to do” list when they move into their new home.

Garage & Basement
Clean and organize garage and basement. If either is packed with items, get a storage space and move all items you’re not using. A dirty, messy garage or basement can look overwhelming to a buyer and can be a deal killer.

Wide Open Spaces
Arrange furniture to make rooms appear open and inviting. Put away extra furniture. Too much furniture shrinks a space.

Lighting
Replace dated light fixtures. Dark equals small and dingy…keep rooms bright!

Air it Out
Open a window for 10 minutes before a showing. Eliminate pet or smoke odors - odors can be real deal killers - if you've painted and cleaned carpets in preparation to sell then do your best to refrain from smoking in the home and make sure the dog or cat is "house-trained." Potpourri or scented candles can help - but go easy.

Final Touches
Depending on your budget, adding a new bedspread, towels, throw pillows or even new carpeting & flooring can help you get top dollar.
