25 Tips on Staging Your Home to Sell!

1. Place large bowls of fresh fruit in the kitchen or dining room.
2. De-cluttering is a must! Pack up all little knick knacks (this distracts the buyer from the structure or the features of the home you are trying to showcase).
3. Wipe your cabinets down with orange oil to make cabinets appear newer and back to their original luster.
4. Remove everything from the outside of the refrigerator.
5. Add green plants to any room.
6. De-personalize…you want the potential home buyer to imagine themselves in your home. You must remove all family/individual pictures off the wall.
7. Add a spa basket, lotions, scented soaps and scented candles to your bathrooms.
8. Make sure all windows and mirrors are clean.
9. Make sure the beds are made and add colored pillows with fun texture that will compliment the room.
10. Scented candles (preferably fresh baked cookie smell) work wonderful anywhere in the home.
11. Make sure the closets are tidy.
12. A nice entrance is a must.
13. Add colorful bedding or potted plants for best result. Lawn should always look manicured.
14. Make sure grass is cut; sticks and any other debris are disposed of properly.
15. A simple fresh coat of paint with possible color change to a neutral makes all the difference.
16. Keep the lights on in all rooms.
17. When showing your house: Light the fireplace even during the day. This creates a warm and cozy feeling.
18. Have your home professionally cleaned.
19. Create focal points throughout the house.
20. Remove extra chairs from the dining room.
21. Take out the leaf in the table and create a romantic place setting for two.
22. Have soft relaxing music playing in the background.
23. Avoid too much furniture in the rooms. Too much furniture will make the room appear smaller than it really is, better too little furniture than too much.
24. Make sure your garage is clean.
25. Arrange colorful candles, cookbooks or cookies on the kitchen counter.
