Staging can help sell a home



 What can you do???

A home seller has about 15 seconds to make a good impression to a potential buyer.

 

Staging or styling is about the smartest move a seller can make. Styling is a little different than staging and involves minor remodeling, unlike common staging -- moving personal items to storage and adding neutral touches,
Decorating would be where the goal is to put your personality into your home.

 

This can be done by re-purposing  some of the things you already have,  Maybe the lamps you have in the living room would give the bedroom a new look without putting too much of any style into it.  Putting a rug in the room in front of the fireplace,  with a couple of throw pillows. Move a mirror to a different room.  New towels in the bathroom, with a fake plant.

 

Removing dated wallpaper, and spiffing up the floors,  clean the carpets, or refinish the floors.   Paint the brightly colored walls to a neutral color--- something that you love dearly may be the reason the buyer walks away.  Clear out personal stuff, buyers can't see themselves in YOUR house-- give them opportunity to see themselves living there. 
You may have a beautifully decorated home, but it's your identity.... keep it simple

 

Replace or paint bathroom vanities, Bathrooms need to look updated and clean.  If you can’t replace that pink bathtub,you might see about having it professionally painted or use it as an accent.
Kitchens are another important room to make sure  looks inviting,   Clear off the counter tops- make sure pantries are neat  and  everything smells wonderful.

 

This is becoming a market where the buyer has many choices, The better yours stands out the easier their choice will be.  Set a budget and be creative with it....
