Staging your home is one of the most important parts of the selling process. Most people think you need to spend the money to have your home professionally staged by a staging company. The truth is, you can stage your home much more inexpensively by following these 5 tips I have for you:1. Declutter and depersonalize
You want to clean and organize your closets, so that the space looks bigger. An organized, clean home is crucial in showings. Your buyers have to be able to see themselves in your home, and this is the first step to accomplishing that
2. Fresh paint and carpet
These are two of the best investments you can make when selling your home. Updating the carpet and putting a fresh coat of neutral-colored paint on the walls is a great way to broaden your home's appeal.
3. Clean, clean, clean
Of course your whole home will require a deep clean prior to its showings, but you need to pay special attention to the kitchen and bathrooms. Clear out cabinets, purchase new bath towels, and swap out your old hardware and faucets for new ones. These are all inexpensive fixes that bring a significant return.
4. Modernize
Swap those old brass light fixtures out for some oil-rubbed bronze or nicke. Remember, all buyers want stainless steel appliances, too.
5. Neutralize
You don't have to paint all the walls and ceilings eggshell white, but bold and bright colors are not going to help you sell your home in today's market. Don't be afraid to use some color, but keep it in a neutral pallet.
