Home Staging Tips By Lori Livers, Zillow
What is home staging? Do I need to hire a professional? Can I do it myself? These are all very good questions that get asked by our clients all the time. You can hire a professional, but you can do quite a few things on your own that don’t cost a dime! Here is an article I came across that shares 5 No-Cost Home Staging tips.
1. Clean, clean, clean – A home that is absolutely pristine presents as well cared for.
2. Depersonalize the house – In general, family photos and keepsakes draw a buyer’s attention to your family and keep them from seeing your home as their potential home.
3. Pack — and pack some more -You cannot showcase rooms that are full of stuff — especially too much furniture.
4. Manicure outdoor spaces – Potential buyers will absolutely consider the outdoor spaces as critically as they do indoor spaces.
5. Lighten up – Buyers are looking for “light and bright,” not “dark and dreary,” so give them light.
