Selling your home can be both exciting and stressful. Preparing your home for sale is a vital step in the process of attracting potential buyers. Staging your home can make a significant difference in the impression it makes on buyers. The Kristy Peixoto Team at Legacy RE wants you to feel prepared and confident when selling. Our experts put together these few helpful tips to get your home sold faster.
Step 1. Declutter
Decluttering is one of the essential steps in preparing your home for sale. Decluttering means getting rid of anything that doesn’t add value to your home’s aesthetic appeal. This includes getting rid of old and outdated items and clearing cluttered spaces. You can donate or sell items you no longer need. Open, breathable rooms allow potential buyers to envision a design and contribute to landing the client. Remember, the less clutter, the more visually appealing your home will be.
Step 2. Maximizing Light
Maximizing natural light is one of the easiest ways to create an inviting atmosphere in your house. Make sure that blinds and curtains are open when showing your home. Use pale or neutral colors for repaint jobs and utilize mirrors and other light-reflecting accessories to create a brighter and warmer feeling.
Step 3. Focus On Curb Appeal
The first thing potential buyers will see is the exterior of your home. The exterior plays a crucial role in making a positive first impression. Make sure that the front yard is well-maintained, and the landscaping is attractive. Repair any peeling paint, or cracked cement and replace or repair any broken features like the mailbox, house numbers, and exterior light fixtures. Pressure washing is a cheap fix for a big impact on a dirty-looking house.
Step 4. Deciding On Furniture
Choosing the right furniture for the various spaces in your home is vital when staging. Consider using a professional staging company to provide loaner furniture to help stage empty or sparsely furnished rooms. The goal is to showcase the potential of each room while keeping the furniture arrangement space efficient and functional.
Staging your home is an essential step in preparing your home for sale. Remember that decluttering, maximizing light, focusing on curb appeal, and deciding on furniture can all go a long way in making your home more attractive to buyers.
