Staging a house to sell is like turning it into a model home. The goal is for a future buyer to see themselves in your home.
Here are some tips to get started preparing your house for sale by decluttering your spaces:
- Put personal items away. Do not leave personal papers out. File your papers away in a filing cabinet or basket. Limit the number of personal photos displayed.
- Use a decorative bowl for items on your counter tops to collect keys etc. The remotes for your TVs and electronic equipment can also be stored in a beautiful bowl on a coffee table.
- Start with one room at a time. In your kitchen, you want to have more counter space so put all appliances away in the pantry except for your coffee or tea set up.
- Rooms should be walkable. Too much furniture is a problem. Think about a storage unit or repurposing that chair to another room like a sitting room in a bedroom.
- Closets should be neat. If you have not worn an item in years, donate it to a charity. Packing out of season clothes and putting them in storage will make your closet seem more spacious.
A good stager can walk through a house room by room and set the atmosphere. I have seen stagers move furniture and decorative items throughout the house without purchasing anything. My sellers have always been thrilled by the results.
