Quick, Low Cost Tips For Staging Your Home To Sell Quickly
When it comes to selling your home in Virginia’s Blue Ridge, things can get overwhelming quickly. But that’s what I’m here for as Next Door Realty Group’s resident expert for all things regarding selling or buying your home in Franklin County and the surrounding areas! In this blogpost, I share a few low to no cost tips that you can do to easily stage your home to make it even more appealing to potential buyers for a quick sell at its maximum value!
1. Remove Clutter- This one may seem obvious but it’s important to declutter your
home and THEN declutter it again! Remove any unnecessary knick knacks and
even remove some furniture if possible to optimize the space and flow thru each room. Everyone loves to sit in grandma’s reclining chair in the corner of the living
room but it also makes it harder to move around the room right? Potential buyers
want to see that it’s easy to flow from one room to another.
2. Depersonalize Your Home - Everyone has that wall or shelf of family/friend photos right? It’s one of the favorite parts of my home too but potential buyers aren’t going to be interested in your vacation 3 years ago. They want to see that your home is cozy, inviting and livable but you also have to walk that tricky line of looking minimalist and not nonexistent. Remove SOME but not ALL photos to help achieve this effect.
3. Add Some Curb Appeal- This is MY signature trick for every season! Add those beautiful Mums for a pop of color during the cooler months and some beautiful potted plants when the weather is warming back up. Many local and big box stores have pre-potted and filled planters that are quick and easy solutions to add big color and interest to the front porch!
4. Lighting - Make sure all your lights have working bulbs ESPECIALLY on photo day! This will make your home really pop in photos. It’s important during showings as well to make your home look bright and homey.
Using these simple staging tricks to get the most of your home will pay out big time when it comes to selling your home in the current market. When you are ready to list your home in the Southwest Virginia region or if you have any questions…give me a shout!
