Add a new shower curtain, fresh towels, and new guest soaps to every bath. 3. Set out potpourri or fresh baked goods for a homey smell. 4. Set the table with pretty dishes and candles. 5. Buy a fresh doormat with a clever saying. 6. Take one or two major pieces of furniture out of every room to create a sense of spaciousness. 7. Put away kitchen appliances and personal bathroom items to give the illusion of more counter space. 8. Lay a fire in the fireplace. Or put a basket of flowers there if it’s not in use. 9. Depersonalize the rooms by putting away family photos, mementos, and distinctive artwork. 10. Turn on the sprinklers for 30 minutes to make the lawn sparkle.

Throw out or file stacks of newspapers and magazines. Pack away most of your small decorative items. Store out-of-season clothing to make closets seem roomier. Clean out the garage. 2. Wash your windows and screens to let more light into the interior. 3. Keep everything extra clean. Wash fingerprints from light switch plates. Mop and wax floors. Clean the stove and refrigerator. A clean house makes a better first impression and convinces buyers that the home has been well cared for. 4. Get rid of smells. Clean carpeting and drapes to eliminate cooking odors, smoke, and pet smells. Open the windows. 5. Put higher wattage bulbs in light sockets to make rooms seem brighter, especially basements and other dark rooms. Replace any burnt-out bulbs. 6. Make minor repairs that can create a bad impression. Small problems, such as sticky doors, torn screens, cracked caulking, or a dripping faucet, may seem trivial, but they’ll give buyers the impression that the house isn’t well maintained. 7. Tidy your yard. Cut the grass, rake the leaves, trim the bushes, and edge the walks. Put a pot or two of bright flowers near the entryway. 8. Patch holes in your driveway and reapply sealant, if applicable. 9. Clean your gutters. 10. Polish your front doorknob and door numbers.

Over my almost 15 years in real estate, I can tell you that how a home is presented (staged) can make a huge difference in how long a property is on the market and how much a property will ultimately sell for. I have had advanced training in helping sellers present their property for maximum profit. I hold the designation of ASP- Accredited Staging Professional as a result of that training. Included on this page our some tips to help you stage your home. I will be glad to take a look at your home and help you stage it.
