Even if your beautiful home is the envy of friends and family, selling residential real estate is no easy feat. The steps you take to stage your home for sale, both inside and outside, can have a significant impact on buyers. Here are some ways to pique the interests of buyers when your home is on the market. 

Staging Residential Real Estate to Achieve Sales Impact

1. Stash Personal Effects

Personal paraphernalia—photographs, trinkets, pillows, and throws—may make a house look like a home, but they’re also off-putting to buyers who should be able to see themselves living in a space. Family trinkets, kid’s drawings, and other highly personal decorations should be put away so buyers can focus on the features of your home. 

2. Clean

Your home should look spotless when it’s on the market. All flat surfaces should gleam. Dust and spray countertops, mop the floors, have carpets cleaned, and make sure all windows and mirrors sparkle. 

3. Enhance Entrances

The outside of your home is the first impression buyers will receive, so make your front doorway count. If your yard is looking drab, call in some landscapers to spruce up the lawn and shrubs. Simple actions, such as trimming trees and smoothing hedges, can have a considerable impact. 

4. Make Minor Repairs

A loose knob or door that sticks may not seem like a big deal, but they could signal a general carelessness about home maintenance to a potential buyer. To show your pride in ownership and your attention to detail, don’t leave minor nuisances unfixed. 

5. Organize Closets

Exceptional closet space is often a selling point for a home. Put your closets in the best light by organizing belongings and removing clutter. If necessary, relocate contents to an off-site storage facility until the closing is complete.
