STAGING YOUR HOME

FIRST THINGS FIRST
First we start with a good preparation plan:
-
Clean everything, make it sparkle and shine.
-
Store personal photos and family memorabilia
-
Declutter every room, surfaces, furnishings, closets and don't forget the garage.
EXTERIOR
You get one moment to make a first impression. When potential buyers pull up to the curb in front of your home, you want the home to appeal to them, so they are excited to get out of the car and come inside!


INTERIOR LIVING
As visitors opens the front door and enters the house, create an environment that makes them feel welcome. There are several ways you can enhance the experience and maintain the excitement to see the rest of the house. Consider all senses, even smells. If you have pets, make sure you have eliminated any pet odors.

KITCHENS
The kitchen is the heart of the home and has a huge influence on the resale value. This is an area you really want to kick it in high gear. Even when searching online, the first photo that will turn off a potential buyer, is that of the kitchen. Declutter cabinets and drawers!
BATHROOMS
Like kitchens, bathrooms in need of remodeling or upgrading can cause blinding dollar signs in the eyes of potential buyers. Do what you can do to make it look as updated as possible. It may be as simple as changing out the hardware, painting cabinets, and displaying new towels!
