Staging is an essential part of preparing a home for the market. It increases the perceived property value for buyers and helps them establish an emotional connection with the property.  When done right, it can help sell a home more quickly and for a higher price. Below are a few tips to help you show off the home’s best features. 

How Staging Helps You Sell a Home

1. Depersonalize

When buyers walk through the home, they need to be able to picture themselves living there. It will be much easier to accomplish this goal if they’re not looking at items that are specific to your family. Remove all family photographs, kids’ trophies and artwork, religious items, and any decor that is unique to your tastes.

2. Deep Clean  

Cleaning may seem like an obvious step, but it is a key component of staging a home. Grime and dirt will make the space look older and not well-maintained. It will immediately turn buyers off. Bring in a professional cleaning team rather than doing it yourself; a fresh set of eyes will notice problem areas that you’ve become accustomed to and no longer take note of.

3. Focus Your Efforts  

If you only have the budget to stage part of the home, focus on the main areas. To sell a home, the rooms that will have the biggest impact are the kitchen, living room, and master suite. Remove as much clutter from these spaces as possible and give them a fresh coat of paint in a neutral shade.
