The most important part of staging a home to sell is simply-
DECLUTTER YOUR HOUSE!
No one wants to look at all your personalized items. That hallway of photos of little Johnny from preschool to college is wonderful for your memories but means nothing to the buyer. The collection of spoons from every city you visited, pack it up! The Den full of furniture to seat little Johnny’s football team, buyers can’t imagine where to put their sectional. All these precious items that are special to you, appears as clutter to the buyer. If there’s one thing that detracts from selling a home – it’s clutter. So, cleaning the house is the most important part of home staging. A clean and minimal aesthetic attracts all sorts of buyers.
Remove what you can without leaving nails in the walls and odd empty spaces. Remove any extra furniture in the room to allow the buyer to see the space they will have for their own furniture. Before you list your home for sale, pack it up. This will get you one step ahead for the move when it sells fast, and decluttering can bring you the best possible price much quicker. In the competition of homes for sale, decluttering might just win the offer!
Back to basics is the best motto. Less is best when selling a home.
