How to Stage Your Home for a Quick Sale | Home seller tips from Nampa Idaho Realtor Molly Henrie

Home Sellers Staging your home for a fast sale

     

There a lot of tips and tricks in staging your home to potential buyers for a fast sale. Don't make the mistake of thinking of your real estate transaction as a purely financial decision. It's much more than that. You need to give your home an emotional appeal when presenting it to home buyers as well. This is called home staging, and I can take a look at your home to give you customized advice to get it to sell faster.

Tips on home staging

Take care of all major repairs

Obviously, the house should look its best cosmetically from the street. If there are repairs that need to be done, whether cosmetic or otherwise, don't wait another day. Get them done. Buyers want to see a home that's well cared for.

Get curb appal with colorful landscaping

When the seasons are on your side, it's helpful to put colorful potted plants around the front of the house. Consider adding flowers to your landscape border, and make sure you keep it reasonably weed-free.

Get rid of all clutter

The first step should be obvious, but it's worth placing at number one. Keep your house clean and tidy while it's on the market. It doesn't have to look like a model home (although that can help!) but it shouldn't look messy.

Clear out extra furniture

Just keep the bare minimum of furniture you need in the room so that home buyers don't have to work too hard to picture their own furniture in your home. It's difficult for many home buyers to envision a space as their own. The easier you can make it for them, the better.

Use your sense of smell

One of the best tricks for staging your home for potential buyers is to bake something that smells great. Pleasant aromas help make a home memorable after a long day of house-shopping. Cookies work great!

Take down the majority of personal pictures

You'll want to remove most personal photos on your walls. It will make buyers want to move on, because they will feel like they are violating your personal space. You want them to feel comfortable to spend as much time as they need in your rooms visualizing where their furniture would go if they lived there. Time spent in room helps them remember it after they leave.
