Looking to sell your home? Good! First, I suggest you call
Sandy and start packin’ (I had to throw that in there. :P) and second, you
should start staging your home. The truth is, if you want sell your home
quicker, you have to do some work on your home. It’s time to make your house
look from average to awesome!
An online article from hgtv.ca posted 9 fantastic steps
to staging your home so you can sell it faster. Here are a few of those steps:
1) De-Clutter
The first step in getting ready to sell is de-clutter,
de-clutter, de-clutter so potential buyers aren’t overwhelmed by your stuff,
but rather impressed by your home. Counters and other surfaces should be kept
clear and any furniture that isn’t needed stored away. The good news about this
tedious task is packing and purging will make moving day that much easier.
4) But Don’t Touch the Nursery!
Although the nursery and childrens’ rooms should be de-cluttered
and tidied as well, personal effects can remain as they are. There’s something
reassuring and touching about seeing a baby’s room that can mean all the
difference to a potential buyer (especially ones that are starting a family).
8) Draw Attention to Selling Features
As a general rule closet doors should be kept closed, but if
there’s a walk-in that should be noticed, a small note to alert potential
buyers is ok.
