HOME STAGING 101

The way we live in a home and the way we sell a home are two different things.  Your home is likely the single largest investment of your life.  We want to evoke an emotion in potential buyers. We know that 65% of people are visual learners- seeing is believing.  When you list your home with us we bring in our Professional Stager to do the whole job, however here are some tips to get a head start! 

• Organize and declutter every room. Keep decorations to a minimum. 

• Empty the garage, attic & closets as much as possible to maximize the appearance of storage space.

• Clean everything. Consider hiring a professional service to conduct a deep clean of the entire home.

• Remove personal items and memorabilia, including family photos, trophies and collectables.

• Replace dead light bulbs. Put a drop of vanilla on the bulbs. 

• Remove drapes- clean the windows- raise the screens.

• Ensure all doors, cabinets & windows open and close properly. Anything that sticks try a rub with a bar of soap.
