Stage Your Home to Sell
Staging your home is a powerful way to sell it faster and at a higher price.1 Here are
some easy, affordable ways you can ensure your property is ready for the spotlight.
Clean Thoroughly
A clean home is a
sign that you’ve taken
good care of your
property, so ensure
yours is spotless.
Give everything a
deep clean from
floor to ceiling,
keeping in mind that
homebuyers will look
in closets, cabinets
and under sinks.
Set the Stage
Buyers want to
envision themselves
living in your home.
Remove items like
family photos, framed
diplomas, keepsakes,
kid’s artwork or toys.
If you have pets,
remove their toys,
beds and feeding
dishes.
Declutter
Not only is clutter an
eyesore, but it also
makes your home
appear smaller. Now’s
the time to get rid of
things you no longer
need or consider
getting a temporary
storage unit. Give extra
attention to closets,
cabinets and pantries
to give the impression
of ample storage.
Lighten Up
Buyers want to
envision themselves
living in your home.
Remove items like
family photos, framed
diplomas, keepsakes,
kGreat lighting can
make your home feel
more inviting. Let in as
much natural light as
possible by opening
all curtains and blinds.
Turn on all the lights in
every room, including
closets – this saves
buyers from having to
hunt for light switches
– and upgrade to
higher wattage bulbs.
