Staging your home is one of the greatest marketing tools. It showcases your home’s best features and gives buyers a chance to imagine themselves in the house. Here, local real estate agents at Realty Executives White Mountain in Show Low, AZ, share with you how proper staging can sell a house.

5 Ways to Sell a House With Staging

1. Clean & Declutter

There’s nothing more uninviting than a cluttered home. Pack away all personal items including memorabilia, knick-knacks, and family photos. This allows potential buyers to envision the space as a future home rather than someone else’s house. Also, clean all areas of the house. Remove items from all tables and neaten the books on the bookshelves. Dust the baseboards, and shine the floors, glass countertops, and mirrors. A clean house allows buyers to see the full potential.

2. Style the Dining Room

Even if you don’t use it often, style your dining room table with some place settings and a centerpiece. This helps the buyers imagine how beautiful the room will look with their family gathered around the table.

3. Invite Them Inside

It’s true; curb appeal does matter when you sell a house. No matter how beautiful your house is on the inside, no one will ever know it if they can’t see past the weeds in the yard, the lawn equipment, or the uninviting porch. Mow the grass and reseed if necessary. You should also remove all lawn equipment and toys. Lastly, spruce up the front porch. A few potted plants and a welcome mat go along way towards inviting buyers inside.

4. Depersonalize & Spruce Up the Master Bedroom

Tuck away photos, jewelry, care products, or anything that reminds interested parties that someone still lives there. You might try rearranging the furniture to give the room a fresh look. White linen bedding can also freshen up the room, and a neutral wall color can show off the room without imposing a certain style.

5. Downsize & Rearrange the Furniture

A crowded room makes the house feel small. By eliminating extra pieces, you can make the room feel less claustrophobic. For big pieces such as sofas, move them away from the wall slightly to create a cozy seating area in the middle of the floor, which makes the room around it seem larger. 

Staging your house highlights its best features and gives buyers the chance to imagine a new life in the house.
