Is it your dream to list your Colonial? If you're seriously considering selling your home, it's wise to think about staging. What steps can you take now to improve your chances of selling quickly for the best price?
It's no secret that a home that is stuffed with personal chattels is a home that will be harder to sell.
Every day fill a box with stuff. Not only will this make your home more presentable, but it will also make moving day less stressful and easier to manage.
Remove anything that requires an opinion. What does that mean? Anything that people either love or hate, probably should be crated and prepared for moving day.
Are your blinds and curtains going to help your residence sell?
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.
What about your property's interior paint scheme?
You can save a lot of money by painting yourself. On the other hand, if you can't do a professional job, you're much better off paying a painter to make your property look great.
It's a good idea to paint before you put a home on the market. This is one of the most cost-effective home improvements you can do.
Your home is your most personal space in your life. But when it's on the market, it's no longer a home. It's a house for sale and it will soon be someone else's home.
If you've loved your home, one of the most difficult chores you'll face is the task of de-personalization.
When you decide to sell, you have to think seriously about removing some of your personal indulgences.
Think about these ideas:
- A musty odor will definitely hinder the saleability of a property. If you have a musty area in the home, add a dehumidifier.
- Clean you entire house. Then clean it again. After you've done that twice, pay a professional cleaner to come in and make the home sparkle.
- Leave the corners of a room open. We do this because empty corners extend a shopper’s view of a room. This makes the space feel larger.
- Replace dark furnishings with glass or metal furnishings. Dark antique woods are beautiful but glass is see-through and creates a more open feel.
