Simple things like trimming your trees, painting your mailbox if you have one, making sure your house number is visible, new hardware on your front door, and a fresh coat of paint will all add tremendously to your curb appeal. A home with the right curb appeal helps buyers understand that it is a well-cared-for house. &#8211; Pramiti Bhargava, Co-Founder, <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bluegrapestaging.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow external noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BlueGrape Staging<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be sure to clean your home, update furnishings and decor, and hire a certified stager<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One home staging secret and the first way to wow prospective clients is to have an immaculately clean home inside and out to show how well the property has been taken care of. This includes grounds, sidewalks, driveway, entryway, floors, walls, windows, and ceiling. Next, replace everything outdated and tired-looking. This gives the home, no matter the age of the property, a fresh and relatable persona. Hire certified stagers to review the details of the property so that the seller can maximize profits and sell the home quickly. Having staging professionals furnish, pack, and store unnecessary personal items with easy-to-access retrieving systems as well as provide locally qualified handymen, painting, and cleaning services is invaluable to minimizing the stress of the homeowner. &#8211; <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/finedesignstaging.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow external noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fine Design Staging<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Selling your home is all about the buyers<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you decide to sell, remember it\u2019s no longer about you \u2013 it\u2019s about your buyers.

Don\u2019t leave your home staging to chance or to your Realtor. Remember, Realtors\u00a0are not home stagers. Staging is the most important step in selling.

And, make buyers feel at home. When buyers feel at home they become attached and motivated to move forward with an offer. One of my favorite small, yet powerful recommendations to homeowners when staging their home is to use fresh plants or flowers in the entry, kitchen, and\/or dining table(s). A simple plant or floral arrangement gives life to the spaces and creates a feeling of home. &#8211; <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/tarragonadesigns.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow external noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tarragona Designs<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Home staging secret: First impressions really matter<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We like to tell our clients as we are standing (and smiling) in their entryway, &#8220;You have 11 seconds to sell your home from right here!&#8221; A stager comes in with a fresh eye &#8211; and one that&#8217;s been developed to see through the lens of a camera. Online photos are everything. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Decorating to stay vs. staging to sell are very different approaches. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An overly decorated home will not photograph well, as the d\u00e9cor itself seeks attention and can block the eye from seeing the architectural features of the home. A properly staged home will accentuate the best architectural features and allow the home to shine its brightest in an unassuming way. Add a new welcome mat to the front door, choose a neutral color to paint your walls, and buy new light fixtures to transform a room. &#8211; <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.decoratingwithgrace.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow external noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Decorating with Grace<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Staging a home is just like meeting someone for the first time<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You want to make a good first impression and want someone to focus on the character of your home.

All remaining clothing should be on matching hangers, smaller items in matching bins or baskets, and the closet floors as empty as possible.

You\u2019ll be amazed at how this enhances not only the professional photos but also brings the sunshine in and gives a feeling of openness during tours. Thoroughly clean your bathrooms. Repair broken tile, caulk, and grout; remove residue from showerheads and faucets; remove products that you no longer use and organize what remains in matching bins\/baskets.\u00a0 All medications should be stored out of sight.
