Staging Strategies to Sell Your Home Fast
October 25, 2011
De-Clutter: First and foremost, no potential buyer wants to picture themselves living in a messy, unorganized home. You want to have furnishings and décor to a minimum, and either throw away, give away, or pack up things you don’t need. The point isn’t to make it appear as no one lives in your home, but rather to allow the buyer to imagine themselves and their belongings inside your home.
Paint with Neutral Colours: Repainting can be the easiest way to brighten a home. Light, neutral colours can make a home look large, bright and airy. Repainting the ceilings, baseboards and trim can really make are also important here. Be sure to repair any cracks or dings in the walls, before the painting as well.
Update Old Styles: You don’t want your home to appear old or dated to potential buyers if you want a quick sale. Removing dated features such as shag or old carpets to a new neutral colour or other cheap flooring alternatives can really revamp your homes appearance. Repainting dated paneling is also a cheap and easy fix.
Bathroom Makeover: An old, outdated bathroom can be a major turnoff to potential buyers. Replacing an old vanity with a new pedestal sink can be a quick, cheap fix. Unattractive tiles can be covered with a high-adhesive primer such as Zinsser BIN Primer Sealer, and some epoxy paint. Finally grout around the tub and tiles can be cleaned with a paste of hydrogen peroxide and baking soda.
Wash your Windows: Washing windows inside and out, along with the storms and screens can make a huge difference. This quick fix makes the home much more inviting and costs very little.
