The Why and How of Home Staging in Chandler and Gilbert

If you are going to be staging your home for sale in the near future, you will most likely want to do it as professionally and successfully as possible to get the best sale price.
Many homeowners have to put a lot of money into their home before they can sell it, and some even enlist the services of  a staging expert to do an assessment before they put it on the market.
You don’t have to spend alot of money getting your home ready, and you can do a lot of it yourself. Consider these easy staging tips when you are going to stage your home.
Clean Your Home From Top To Bottom
While you would most likely clean your home before you attempt to sell it, if you really want your sale to be successful, clean every single thing in the home. This includes steam cleaning the carpets, washing and waxing the floors, getting the grout and grunge out of the tiles and more.
If you don’t have the time or energy to do it yourself, you might want to pay for a professional cleaning service so you can guarantee cleanliness.
Give Your Home One Basic Hue
If you are going to be selling your home, there are some colors that may put off potential buyers. If you have rooms in colors like red or lime green, the buyer may be put off with just one glance.
Choose one soft color and paint the whole home. You may require a professional painter’s advice and help in this area if you have no eye for design or if you do not possess any color coordination techniques. What you like and what the bulk of people like may not be the same.
Say No To Clutter
This is one of the most important steps in Home Staging. Get rid of the clutter in your home.People are like cats. They will be so interested in Your Stuff they will forget to look closely at the home.
If you have loads of newspapers, magazines, mini statues and miscellaneous junk sitting around your home and on coffee tables, clear it off. Put it away in storage boxes so you can take it when you move – or do some spring cleaning and get rid of everything you don’t need.
Show as much counter space as you possibly can, as this will better represent the space.
Buyers can quickly change their yes to a no when they enter the home that they first adored from the outside, only to see all your "JUNK" everywhere. Logically, everyone knows a home will be emptied before selling, but the clutter can ruin the whole feeling of purchasing a new home. Also remove all personal photos.
Perform Some Minor Repairs
If you notice scratches, rips, blotches or any broken items in the home, try to fix them yourself or hire a professional handyman service. Unless your home has just been remodeled I suggest hiring a home inspector to address all the big ticket items. Repairing your home before a sale will definitely improve your home’s appeal.
Selling a home is always a challenge, but with a little bit of hard work, you can turn your home into a move-in ready paradise for potential buyers.
You’d be surprised what a thorough cleaning and a new coat of paint can do for a space. For expert assistance with home staging, please contact me so I can guide you through the process before we list your home for sale.
