1. Assess your Home-find the positive and negative aspects of the actual house, focal and selling points. Playing up the positive aspects often deters from the negative aspects in the process.
2. Box up Clutter, Box up unnecessary adornments or anything that takes up too much space or looks messy
3. Renew, Repair, or Replace! Potential buyers luke to feel that our home has been well maintained, and part of this process is making sure it looks the part. Don’t “assume” something in need will go un-noticed, common mistake.
Where do I start?
There are typically four areas of any home that affect a potential buyer’s decision, and these areas should always receive the majority attention:
This is not to say you should ignore the rest of the house, but when I am professionally staging a home for the market, these areas are always the spaces I concentrate on first and are usually the most time-consuming.
Foyer or Entry - All rooms directly visible from the main entry are an absolute priority. Creating a visually appealing atmosphere starts here!
Main Living Area/Family Room/ Great Room, whatever you main living area is, is basically the place that people spend most of their time, entertain guests, etc. This space typically take the most time to finesse. Furniture arrangement and accessory placement is a priority for this area.
Kitchen - Again, a place to gather and it needs to be a clean, light, bright, cheery, efficient space.
Master Bedroom Goal is to make it as comfortable, carefree, and relaxing as possible. I other words, put the “suite” in master.
