Staging 101 Tips

Summer is here!  Its time to turn up the heat and get your home ready to sizzle in this hot competitive market. Here are some quick and easy tips to liven up your space, outside and inside, to get top dollar for your home.

 Curb Appeal

Paying close attention to landscaping is a must! If the outside looks a mess, then it creates doubt that the seller has been conscientious about upkeep inside the home.

 Buyers are expecting yards to be blooming in an array of beautiful colors.  Planting and/or potting yellow flowers will be a irresistible eye catcher and it makes people feel at ease. The exact feeling you want to evoke before entering your home!

Add lush green foliage! It's a great way to spruce up any empty space in your yard.

Make sure lawns are watered, mowed and neatly edged. Fresh mulch can make a big difference in appearance!

Walkways should be swept, lawns should be mowed and manicured.  Weeds/ dead plants should be removed and checked for daily. Its an unsightly and undesirable sight!

Pressure wash the outside. Clean up your patio.  Paint any rusty or chipped paint on outdoor furniture and add some new throw pillows to freshen up the look.

In home appeal

Turn on ceiling fans or air conditioning.. The only thing worse than a stuffy room is a hot room! You want prospective buyers to feel comfortable inside.  

Fill the air with natural fragrances. Scatter all over the house bright colored fresh  blooms in vases.  It's not only appealing to your sense of smell but your sense of sight too!

Cheerful colors make a room look inviting and matches the mood of the season. A pop of bright colors with throw pillows and towels can do wonders!

Roll up your sleeves to get those windows clean and shiny. Draw back light and airy curtains.  These small touches will give your home a bright, welcoming ambiance.

Put away heavy blankets and add a light colored throw on your sofa and beds. 

Selling your home can be really intimidating and challenging.  Making a statement with these helpful, small, details will give you a steamy edge in today's competitive real estate market ...helping your home to be lucrative and sell fast!
