Making your home warm and inviting can be easy and done cheaply, usually granting you a good return on your time invested. Here are some tips for the "DIY" stager.
1-CLEAN: Make your house sparkle, keep it neat and tidy. First impression to a potential buyer is crucial.
2-FIX: Repair blemishes such as a dripping faucet, faded paint, cracked tile and any other potential "eye sores".
3-DE'CLUTTER: Removing clutter will make your home look fresh, inviting, and larger.
4-NEUTRALIZE: It has been proven over and over that neutral colors help sell.
5-CURB APPEAL: Keep the lawn mowed, leaves raked, and shrubs trimmed neatly, if your home lacks appeal at the "curb", its often difficult to get a potential buyer into a home that lacks appeal. Simple things like repainting the frond door, repairing a mailbox, etc. can go a long way to making a home scream "come see me."
6-ENTRANCE: A potential buyers first glimpse into your home should make a them feel positive and uplifting. Make the entry bright and inviting. Place a mirror in the foyer so potential buyers can see themselves in you home.
7-KITCHEN: Kitchens sell homes. Keep it clean and de'cluttered. To give it a fresh feeling, burn scented candles and replace worn cabinet knobs...small fixes will go a long way in a kitchen.
8-MISCELLANEOUS: Remove knickknacks, remove area rugs, throw blankets, and pillows. Take out plants that don't look healthy..whether inside our out. Clean stained carpets, keep wastebaskets emptied and pets outside.
