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.

Some people keep lots of plants in their house. They add colour and a sense of comfort but too many plants cause clutter like everything else. Besides taking up valuable space, plants collect more dust than does furniture because they don’t get cleaned as frequently and their growth is often kept unchecked. Limit the number of healthy plants to one or two per area. Give the rest to your friends to plant-sit.
Bathrooms: replace chipped or cracked mirrors. Large hardware stores usually carry a good selection of mirrors you can choose from.
Bathrooms: clean underneath the vanity. Shelf liner works here too. Wipe the water pipes clean.
The master bedroom is a sanctuary for rest and relaxation. Do you have an ironing board next to the treadmill in the corner? Your buyers don’t need to see this. Store them under your bed if you have the room. Otherwise get them out altogether. Return the room to its core function by keeping the furnishing simple: a bed, two night tables, and a dresser.
Mistake #3: Catering your house to a specific group (ethnicity, religion, age, taste, etc). To sell your house for the best price and more quickly, it must appeal to all segments. There’s the right buyer out there, you just don’t know which one.
