Top 10 Staging Secrets + 1 Bonus :-)

- Be absent so buyers feel more comfortable making comments.
- Add touches of luxury.
Place fresh and colorful flowers, beautiful linens and large, white fluffy towels throughout the home.
- Turn the A/C down to 72°.
- Clean out the closets.
Buyers will poke around the closets in the house to see if there is room for their clothing and personal items. Throw out anything you haven’t worn in two years and put dryer sheets between clothing to maintain a fresh smell.
- Make traces of your pets disappear.
Do not remind the buyer of the smells, hassle and daily toll a pet takes on a house.
- Invest in new light switch covers.
Most buyers will interact with several of the light switches throughout the house. Worn and dirty switch covers show inattention to detail.
- Create curb appeal.
You only have one shot to make a fantastic first impression. Paint the home in a warm neutral tone; tend to the lawn, garden, shrubs and trees. Ensure that the walkways and driveway leading up to the house are stable and secure.
- Point out wall spaces for large or flat-screen televisions.
The buyer will most likely be looking for a modern feel in a house and showing the possibility of such will make your property more attractive.
- Dispose of old doors.
Replace hollow core doors with paneled doors like those found in newer homes.
- Play soothing music during a showing.
Instrumental or jazz music will provide harmony throughout the house which will help to muffle the sounds of traffic and life outside of the walls of your home.
- Clean anything a buyer will possibly touch.
Buyers will touch different parts of the home to get a feel for what it would be like to actually live there. Thoroughly wash all doorknobs, cabinets, cupboards and hand rails.
