If you’re trying to sell your home quickly and for the most money, it’s always best to consider staging your home. A staged home always tends to sell significantly faster than an unstaged home. But before staging your home, there are some things that are helpful to consider.
How Does Your Home Look through the Eyes of a Buyer?
When it’s time to move out of your home, it’s difficult to see it as anything else but your home. However, in order to sell it for the highest price possible, it’s best to stop viewing it as a home and start viewing it as a commodity instead. Evaluate your home through the eyes of a buyer.
What Changes Do You Need to Make?
When viewing the photos, ask yourself if there are any changes that will make your home more appealing. Are there any repairs that need to be made? Is there anything that looks outdated that can be replaced?

What Features Can You Highlight?
While looking at the photos of your home take note of your home’s best features you see in each picture. You’ll want to make sure to highlight these features when staging. Don’t forget to also consider things that might turn a buyer off. Does a room feel a little too small? There are things you can do to make it appear bigger like using mirrors and avoiding bulky furniture.
In What Ways Can You Strategically Leave the Best First Impression?
You don’t get a second chance to leave a first impression, so keep this in mind as you plan out your staging. Creating a great first impression is in the details. You should have an average of 25-35 elements that work together to leave the best first impression.
Some very important factors in leaving the best first impression are curb appeal and the entryway. Make sure your front door is in great condition. Consider pressure washing the exterior of your home and driveway if needed. Place a new welcome mat at the front door and consider putting potted plants around the door as well.
BONUS TIP
I know, I know, I’m obviously going to promote home staging right? But the truth is, all you have to do is get your paintwork neutral and leave the rest to a company like mine. Home staging is well worth the investment because it can yield a much higher price on your property than you asked for or expected. A professional home stager knows exactly how to dress a home sympathetically, playing to a home’s strengths and weaknesses, such as turning a dimly lit room into something bright, and a huge sunny family kitchen into the absolute selling point. Some people will even engage in a bidding war to get your property if it is staged in such a way it allows all buyers, imaginative or not, to see themselves living there.
A home staging company will usually include the ordering and installation of furniture and accessories leaving you with absolutely nothing to worry about. Think about adding the cost of home staging into your selling costs, you won’t be sorry when you see the return on your investment.
