The real estate market is a big arena. There is an abundance of properties available and enough competition to make selling a long and drawn out process. The best way to improve your chances of success is to learn how to stage your home to sell.
Get Rid Of Clutter
A cluttered home is not going to sell. Showing a home that is disorganized and full of clutter is a huge turn off to prospective buyers. Clutter prevents buyers from seeing what it is they are getting if they decide to purchase. De-clutter to add more space and appeal to increase your home’s appeal and selling potential.
Furnishings, Paint and Décor
No matter what your personality or artistic capabilities are, adorn your home in neutral colors, furnishings and décor. Bold colors may be appealing to you, but they have a tendency to turn off potential buyers and reduce the number of offers you’ll receive for your home.
Utilizing & Showcasing Space
Most buyers are shopping for a house that has a great deal of space. When staging your home to sell, be sure to arrange your furniture in a way that optimizes the space in the room without taking away from its comfort and appeal.
Staging From The Perspective Of Buyers
After living in the property for so long, it can be hard for you to see your home through fresh eyes. Put yourself in the shoes of potential buyers when staging your home so that it is more appealing, desirable, and valuable in their eyes.
Lighting Design
Increase the warmth in each room of your home by adding some lighting. Use three different types of light supplies, such as ambient, accent, and pendant. Aim for a maximum of 100 watts of light for every 50 square feet of living space to play up your home’s natural ambiance and aesthetic value.
Curb Appeal For The Win
Don’t think that dialing in your interior will win the hearts of potential buyers. You have to focus on curb appeal, which is the first appearance and perception a buyer will experience when viewing your home from the street. As the saying goes, “first impressions are everything,” and those first few seconds of emotion and feeling a potential buyer experiences when looking at a home from the street, sidewalk or driveway can be a deal maker or breaker. Ensure your landscaping is groomed, driveway is clean, exterior is power washed and all lighting elements are in proper working order. This can be the icing on the cake of making the sale.
