How to Stage Your Home for a Quick Sale

In today's tight housing market, many homeowners are unable to sell their homes for what they feel is a fair price, if at all. To get the edge in this market, you need to make sure that your home stands out, and that buyers are drawn in. Home staging involves removing personal elements, decluttering and neutralizing your home so that the largest pool of potential buyers can see themselves living in your home.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• A vivid imagination
• A tape measure
• Furniture and decorative items from other rooms in your home
• A can of paint (or two)

1. Check your curb appeal. Potential buyers won't even enter your home if your yard is overgrown and unattractive.

2. Create an inviting entrance. The foyer is often overlooked as wasted space. Freshen up your entryway to create a great first impression.

3. Eliminate clutter. Start packing away all but the most necessary items to create an open, clean and spacious-feeling home.

4. Empasize the positives. Find the natural focal point in each room and play to its natural beauty. Hide, repair, or detract from any negatives. Clean and deodorize to remove any stains or odors.

5. Brighten it up! Create warm and inviting spaces by using color and updating light fixtures.

6. Make it modern. Update fixtures and accessories for a fresh, clean look.
