My answer: If it’s staged correctly, then YES! Your property will sell much quicker and usually for more money.
The first and most important part of staging is making sure your home is “decluttered”. This means start packing. You’re moving anyway, so let’s get a jump on the process. It’s time to sort, sell, gift and pack away collectables, family photos, extra linens, etc.
When was the last time you painted? Painting is one of the least expensive design tricks in the trade. Use neutral colors throughout. Paint doors and trim for a clean fresh look. A clean house sells!
Re-arrange your existing furniture and try to reduce the furnishings in each room. If you have one room you use as storage, clean it out and stage it as an office or work out room. Maybe place an artist’s easel in the center with paints….. Possibly a yoga mat with some small weights.
Invest in some new shower curtains, towels and small matching accessories (Ross, TJ Max or Marshall’s are great for these items). Clean off those counters and clean out the medicine cabinets.
If you’re overwhelmed, or paralyzed by the daunting tasks of staging, pick one room at a time. Or, hire a professional to help. As an experienced Realtor, I have many professionals that can assist.
Let me help you sell your home faster and for more money.
You’re moving, so start preparing today.
