When looking for tips for staging your home, ensure that you:
1. Declutter
You should aim to eliminate half of your furniture to make your home look bigger and more attractive to buyers. If your furniture is not looking to scratch, consider hiring new pieces that best complement the space.
In the meantime, keep your belongings in the warehouse or give away the items you’ve earned with you. This will create an ideal, cozy space perfect for buyers and their guests.
2. Neutral paint
Sure, your green bathroom is lovely to some people but when opening the staging, keep it neutral. A white or brown wall is best because neutral tones make your home refreshed and look bigger.
Also, get ready to maximize your lighting strategy. Open up a small room by flooding it with natural light or transform a narrow room by illuminating the wider sides.
3. Remember curb appeal
Curb appeal refers to the appeal of your home on the outside at first sight. As a seller, you have to make a good first impression to have time to clean the aisles, clear the yard and even place outdoor furniture if you have a porch.
To get a full picture of the appeal of your curb, drive up the street and note if you’ve left anything because that’s what others will also notice.
4. Focus on the most important rooms
You may not have the money to rent furniture or move your existing pieces around. Instead, consider one of the most useful deposit tips and focus on important rooms like your living room. Next, go to the master bedroom and then the kitchen.
5. Go virtual
More than 80% of potential buyers feel that virtual staging is a great way to help them visualize an asset.
There are lots of virtual staging systems and it’s much more efficient than traditional staging. Traditional staging can be costly when you hire props while an almost staged image takes up part of the cost, time and effort.
Moreover, virtual staging allows brokers to flexibly create their creations as they can add tailored furniture and implement a specific theme without spending hours to redecorate the property. It also makes it easier for buyers to visualize themselves in the space that will lead to faster buying decisions.
3D staging is a great visual tool because it shows buyers exactly what the property looks like without having to make an appointment with a broker. Research shows that at least 35% of buyers are bidding on online properties without actually viewing them!
