Staging A House

Want to sell your property fast? Small improvements to the exterior and interior of your property make dramatic impressions on prospective home buyers. Homes that look their best sell faster. The following is a list of basic suggestions that enable you to make your property look its best!

Preparing Your Home

• Trim the hedges, mow and trim the lawn, and sweep the walks to make that first impression a lasting one.
• Repaint exterior areas on the house as needed for a clean, smooth look.
• Repair or replace any broken features of the house such as steps, windows, screens, etc.
• Clean the entire interior of the house.
• Arrange the furniture in an appealing fashion.
• Clean out the closets of the house and make sure the home is free from unnecessary clutter.

Showing Your Home

• Make sure the garage door is closed and no vehicles are blocking the driveway.
• Open curtains and blinds during the day. Keep interior and exterior lights on at night.
• Keep the heat or air conditioning at a comfortable level.
• Remain in the background or, if possible, be absent when the broker shows your property. Some buyers feel uncomfortable going through a home when the owner is present.
