How To Help Sell Your Home By Staging

By Greg Tilley


Before a house showing back when the real estate market was a healthy one, the only thing a homeowner needed to do was clean the place up and leave to have it ready for marketing. But with today's market the price you get for your home and how quickly you sell it -whether or not you have hired professionals- will be subject to how you stage your home.

Staging refers to creating a look that enables a potential buyer to see your home as it might look as a model home. Be sure to put away all family insignia as well as give it a great clean and touch up anything you thing will help the house to look it's best.

There are professionals out there that you can call if you do not wish to do it yourself, they will give you advice on staging your home.

Ask yourself. "What am I trying to create." Takes notes while browsing interior design magazines to get great ideas. Try browsing furniture groupings online, it is free, also check out furniture stores where they set-up all of the different styles for your convenience.

What is left out of an interior design set-up is just as important as what is put in so do your research. Do not personalize the entire living room suite when staging your house. Instead, remove all those additions and put them in storage (don't clutter up closet space that may also need to be displayed at its best).

Not only will you have to clean exceptionally well but also remove any clutter. Do not keep any family items on display, the house is on tour not your family. This makes it easier for other people to envision how their things would look in the room. It will be easier to clean without so much in the way and there will be more space in the room making them look larger.

From your research, you may also get ideas of things to add. Anything that adds color is perfect, like some flowers in a vase. Prints can also replace your family photos on the wall, other things you may add include throw pillows and rugs.

You may have been waiting a long time to change the feel of the house and experts say that painting in neutral colors or replacing carpet is good for a face lift, so why no buy additions that you like then just take them with you when you leave.

Why not also stage outside the home? The same rules apply outside so why not add some color and perhaps some seasonal potted plants.

Staging works best when you keep it nice and simple. Remove as much as you can and only add items that will really enhance your home's appearance and help turn it into a place someone else wants to live.
