Selling Your Cincinnati Home Series – Part 4
6 Steps to Staging Your Home.
Preparing your home for sale properly can net you considerably more money at closing. Some rooms in your home are more important than others in the preparation process and some home improvements are a much better investment as you prepare to sell your home. Don’t spend money unnecessarily, contact Eric Lowry, CEO and Listing Specialist for The Lowry Team today to arrange a consultation. In the meantime, here are some general steps that you could start implementing right now.
The first step in staging your home is to trim the bushes around your property. It is important to keep the lawn neatly mowed. The curb appeal of your home will be the potential home buyer’s first impression of your home. Make it a good one!
Next, you will want to remove any clutter from your house. Start packing up anything you are not currently using. You are going to have to pack it up eventually anyway, so let’s get started! Your house will appear larger, neater and more organized.
If you have transformed one (or more) of your bedrooms into something other than a bedroom, such as a sewing room or exercise room, change it back. If you are listing your house as a three bedroom, you want the home buyer to be able to easily visualize the three bedrooms.
Clean up and organize the counters in the bathrooms and kitchen. They should appear, neat, clean and sparkly! Put items that are generally sitting out on the counter tops away out of sight.
After all of the steps are completed, do one last final clean up. Clean the house from top to bottom, yes, even the windows! Repair any nicks to the walls and cover them with a fresh coat of neutral paint.
Lastly, add a pop of color. This could be some colorful towels in the half bath or fresh flowers in a vase in the entrance way. Add color outside by planting some annuals. Place a new welcome mat by the from door or add a splash of color with a pillow on a chair.
Not only can staging your home bring more money to the closing table, generally it will sell faster too. Contact, Eric Lowry, CEO and Listing Specialist for The Lowry Team to set up a free consultation.
