These are both clichés, but they absolutely apply when you are trying to sell your home, particularly in a challenging market. There are a few secrets to staging a home that will allow you to make a great first impression on potential buyers. One thing you can do is add extra light to your home, particularly if you live in a traditionally dreary part of the country. Consider adding bulbs with extra wattage to the fixtures or more lamps to your home. Clean windows inside and out and consider changing out window fixtures for lighter, more transparent ones. Of course, if some of the lights don’t work, you’ll want to get them fixed, and that should really be the first step in prepping your home for salefixing anything that’s broken. Whether it is a leaky faucet or a door that doesn’t close all the way, making a cosmetic change to the house will send the subtle signal that it has been well cared for in the time that you were there. your existence as clean as possible. Many people decide to hire a cleaning company. You can do this for the initial clean or have a service come in every week to tidy things up for you, depending on what your budget will allow. Remove the clutter. If there’s one thing a homebuyer wants, it is space to put their things. If the house is full of your stuff, it can be more difficult for buyers to envision themselves in the home. If you can move large pieces of furniture, perhaps ones you will be discarding anyway, you’ll create more space for buyers. In particular, you will want to remove items that might alienate large groups of buyers, including items of a political or religious nature. Buyers often connect emotionally with a home, and items like these might stop that emotional connection from happening. While you are removing the clutter, you’ll also want to get the right props. Mirrors can make rooms seem larger and increase the amount of available light. Plants can make a home seem warm and inviting. Professional stagers often use large bowls of fruit, colorfully arranged cookbooks in the kitchen and eye-catching wall sconces to add a touch of elegance and panache, making People aren’t interested in buying a the home stand out from the others dirty house, so it’s essential that the potential buyers have seen. house be clean at all times for visitors.
