Staging Tips:
- Fresh paint is one of the most highly valued updates for which buyers arelooking. It can certainly be one of the most inexpensive if you are able to do it your self. If selling your house quickly is a concern, a brand new paint job may very well tip the scales in your favor. Paint the inside, the outside, the trim, and the doors - especially the front door.
- Like new paint, new carpeting is one of the smartest upgrades you can make to your home. Most buyers like to see brand new carpeting already installed and ready to go, and as long as it's a neutral shade of white, beige ot light gray they're happy. Carpeting in a neutral coloor makes the room look bigger
- Take all the dutty pictures of the kids or grandkids off the piano and pack then away. You can get them out again when you move. Pick up the stacks of magazines and newspapers and books and put them away or throw them away. De-clutter each room and vacuum the carpet before you leave each morning. You'll be surprised at how much bigger your rooms will look.
- If you're willing to do a little extra, consider placing fresh flowers in seveal rooms in the house, or setting the dinig room table with your best china, a centerpiece and colorful cloth napkins.
