Home Staging Prepare Your House For Sale

House Staging

For many people, preparing their house for sale means only dusting, vacuuming and mopping. In other words, they are selling their house as-is. A couple of things will almost certainly happen:

  • The house languishes on the market for months and eventually the seller cuts the listing price, or worse, it never gets sold.
  • The offers, if any, reflect the as-is condition of the house, which is usually a lot lower than the listing price.
  • The sellers get frustrated because they are getting calls from bargain hunters who are looking for a cheap house to fix them up themselves.

You don't want this to happen to you. Your goal is to sell your house as quickly and as profitably as possible. To do that you'll need to stage your house.

Prepare Your House For Sale is a four-step plan designed to maximize the value of your house. We examine the importance of decluttering, repairing, cleaning and revitalizing. Each step builds on the other to turn your home into the kind of desirable sanctuary that buyers look for in any market condition.

Items you should consider tossing: expired food and medications, old newspapers and magazines.
Driveway: patch cracks and holes. Replace when crumbled.
Kitchen: clean underneath the kitchen sink. Shelf liner works well here. Wipe the water pipes and hoses clean.
Take stock of the colours of your exterior walls, trim, shutters, garage door, and fence. If the colours do not appeal to the masses or the paint has faded with age, a new coat of paint will bring it back to life. Minimally, the trim items and the front of the house must look sharp.
Pets: one option is to find someone to pet-sit them during a showing. Otherwise, keep them in a kennel and let the buyers know you have pets. Keep your fingers crossed that the buyers won’t mind.
