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.

Don’t forget your refrigerator’s door as it is one of the most common place to hang cute magnets, memos, postcards and all sorts of stuff.
Do not conceal problem areas in your house. This is unethical! Home buyers are savvy and if they see through your tactic you can be assured any potential deal is dead. Even if you manage to get past the buyer, it’s not likely you can fool their home inspector. The money spent fixing and upgrading will hopefully increase the value of your home to offset the repair costs.
You have probably grown so used to the smell of your house that you fail to notice that there are strong tobacco smoke, pet, mildew and cooking odours that will offend your buyers. Buyers are most suspicious of houses that have smells because they are afraid they might not be able to get rid of them. Ask a friend or a relative to do a sniff test of your house. The best smell is no smell.
Spring/Summer: separate and transplant flower and plants to balance the garden.
