Staging a Home for Sale
April 28th, 2007 at 1:26 pm (MSH News)
One of the most effective and also one of the easiest services you can offer sellers is to make sure their home looks its best;
1. Depersonalizing the space by removing family photos, taking everything off the regrigerator, stripping the kids rooms of posters and basketball trophies.
2. Clearing high-traffic areas of excess furnishings to maximize feelings of space and comfort.
3. Highlighting the key features in every room, such as fireplaces or french doors, by making sure they’re not obscured by plants or furnishings.
4. Be encouraging. Remind sellers that removing clutter is a giant stress reducer as well as a good way to get a head start on packing.
5. PAINT, PAINT – A gallon of paint in the can is worth $10.00 and on the walls is worth $1,000′s.
