STAGING TO SELL
What is staging anyway?
Staging is the process of enhancing the impression a prospective buyer has about your home. Staging is all about removing things from your home that make it look smaller, drab, or dated. It differs from decorating because decorating involves bringing things into the home to enhance the look of it. Decorating is all about personal taste. Staging, on the other hand, is about transforming a home into a 'neutral' property to appeal to the largest amount of buyers.
The key to staging is simplicity and getting prospective buyers to a place where they can picture themselves in the home. You can begin by focusing on these staging basics:
- DECLUTTER – Remove “you” from the home (meaning pictures and personal items). Replace personal photos with scenery or postcards. A good rule to follow is to have no more than 3 items on any surface. Remove all items from the kitchen counters and store them away.
- NEUTRALIZE - Neutralize the rooms with light-colored paint, light creams, tans and white. Keep bright colors to a minimum and use neutral and/or neutral colors that work with many different styles.
- KEEP IT CLEAN – Nothing sells better than a clean and well maintained home. Always keep the home feeling and smelling clean for showings.
