Selling a Home

 

 

Staging can mean making meaningful, thoughtful edits to the space yourself or it can mean hiring a professional. If going it alone, consider starting with curb appeal by sprucing up your yard, landscaping and entry. As you move inside, declutter and edit your furniture selections choosing furnishings and accessories that create focal points and emphasize space. Agents agree decluttering is the number one area upon which to focus. You'll want to streamline every room to minimize the objects on display paying special attention to packing away items that are personal. Decluttering allows potential buyers to see their own objects in your home and will truly showcase its potential.   Consider renting a low cost storage unit for your excess stuff. Also, clear off your countertops to remove coffeemakers and other appliances, and be sure any prescriptions and other medications are put away out of sight. Depersonalize the space by removing some family photos and items that depict very specific decorating tastes.
