I would like to give you a few tips on how to prepare your home for sale. I have created a digital brochure “Preparing your home for sale” where you can find a checklist room by room with staging tips, 10 frequent inspection problems you might want to address and tips on how to show your home once it’s on the market.
The Real Estate Staging Association estimates that professionally staged properties spend 73 percent less time on the market, receive more foot traffic, and typically sell for 6-25% more than their unstaged neighbors homes.
So what exactly is staging? In a broad sense, staging is the act of preparing your home for the market. The goal is to highlight your home’s strengths, minimize any deficiencies, and help buyers envision themselves living in the space. When staging a home, you might rearrange the furniture to make a room feel larger or remove heavy curtains to make it appear brighter.
Buyers will assume a clean house is a well-cared-for home. Clean each room from ceiling to floor. Less is more, clutter chews up energy and eats away at your square footage. People buy square footage. Color can bring out the good points of a house. Painting is one of the least expensive ways to stage a home.
I had a client who had worked with another agent and their listing had expired after 6 months on the market. I brought in a professional stager who gave seller tips on how to rearrange some furniture, paint and add some decor. They were able to do this by mostly using what the seller already had at home. After all these changes their home sold in a week!

Do you have a vacant home or your home just needs too much fixing and you don’t have a budget for any repairs? Well, I also offer virtual staging -where images are digitally modified, creating a visual representation of a property’s full potential.
I also offer 1 hour free staging consultation with a professional stager for my seller clients to help them get the most money for their property. I can help you determine the appropriate budget and effort required to push your home ahead of the competition in your neighborhood.
