Sell Your Vienna House Using These Staging Tips

Are you preparing to show your Arts & Crafts in the best light for home buyers? If you’ve been thinking of selling your Arts & Crafts, you should make sure that you take full advantage of home staging trends. What can you do to make your property a head-turner? Photo of 8736 Wolftrap Rd A minimalist theme is often best for selling a residence, because buyers fill that empty space with their imaginations. Is it just too good to throw away but not worth selling right now? Give it to a friend. That guides both of you. I can help you to throw a reverse housewarming party! We'll get rid of unwanted items before your first open house by letting friends, family, neighbors and interested parties help you put the home in order. What do you do with windows and doors? Keep it simple is the theme today. And this applies to window treatments as well. Try light colors or neutral colors for curtain panels, draperies, blinds, or shades. Photo of 8736 Wolftrap Rd What paint colors will help move your Arts & Crafts quickly and which colors will fetch the top price? Sometimes, painting means just the front door. Your front door really is your home's first impression. For whatever reason, gray and navy front doors seem to fetch more money! Have you ever noticed that builders go with a simple color scheme? Unlike most property owners, builders sell a lot of houses and they have learned, as my experience has taught me, that a simple color scheme is best. Photo of 8736 Wolftrap Rd If you're going to sell your property, you'll going to want to make it easy for a buyer to imagine a future in the home. Depersonalizing is a good idea when you decide to sell. How can you make it easier for the buyer to envision your property as his or her home? Photo of 8736 Wolftrap Rd Look at these proposals:
  • Replace your light bulbs with higher wattage bulbs. Brighter light bulbs make a big difference when your selling a home.
  • Want to add a bed to a vacant bedroom? Arrange moving boxes into the shape of a bed. Then place a duvet cover over the boxes!
  • A little potpourri in the bathrooms can help the room's appeal.
  • I often think that cinnamon and vanilla are the best smells when trying to sell a home. You can let these toast in the oven on the day of an open house.
