5 Most Important Home Staging Tips
- Curb Appeal Enhancement – first impressions are critical, and curb appeal is the key. Mow the lawn, weed, rake, trim edges and overgrown bushes and trees, clean windows, hose down (or power wash) the exterior, entry way area and walkways.
- Declutter – most people have too much “stuff”. Whether you are moving or not, divide things into four piles: Keep, Discard, Donate and Store. If you are selling, now is the time to begin packing because you will need to do it anyway.
- Clean – no one wants to walk into a dirty home, not a buyer nor neighbors or family.
- Lighten and Brighten – beginning with cleaning the windows, do all you can to let in as much natural light as possible. Trim overgrown bushes and trees that are blocking the windows. If the home is for sale, one trick is to remove the screens, though make sure buyers can see them stored in the basement or garage. Replace all burned out bulbs, and swap out lower wattage ones for higher wattage ones.
- Eliminate odors – just as no one wants to walk into a dirty home, no one wants to walk into a smelly one either. Los Angeles real estate attorney
