5 easy ways to stage your home for sale
1. Place fresh and brightly colored potted plants in the front and back yard. It’s important to remember to add color with plants and containers by the front entry.
2. Filson says her favorite suggestion to sellers is to cook something when potential buyers are looking at your home or before an open house. “I always remind my clients of cooking pot roast, buyers come in to see the house and they feel like they are home.”
3. If you have a screen porch or an outdoor living space invest in new pillows for chairs.
4. Depersonalize! Make sure there is no clutter, no bills laying around, no personal photos and no kids artwork on the fridge. Remember possible buyers will have a hard time picturing themselves in your home if there are photos of your children and grandparents all over the home. Organize your home and make it clean and welcoming.
5. Take some time cleaning and making sure everything smells good in your home. For example, buyers will be looking in your closets, if you have smelly kids shoes or shoes that are 10 years old in your own closet toss those in the trash or remove from the home while showing the house.
