The relaxed housing market has made numerous would-be home sellers to spare no effort in making their houses stand out. While the current economic climate seems beyond the control of property owners, they can still significantly improve their likelihood of making an extremely quick sale. For this, all they need to do is stage their house. Home staging, which is often overlooked by many homeowners, can actually work wonders for them. The idea behind this process is to make a potential buyer fall in love with a house at the first sight. If they cannot imagine themselves with their family living in your home, then they would never buy it, no matter what. So, following are some of the best tips for homeowners on home staging.

To leave a positive first impression on the potential buyers, woo them with an attractive exterior. The very first thing that any prospective buyer notices in a house is the yard and not other spaces, like kitchen, bathroom, store room etc. Many believe that house staging involves dolling up only the interior of a property. However, fact of the matter is that it covers each and every part of a house. Before open houses, make sure the grasses are neatly cut, leaves raked, hedges trimmed, driveway power washed and sidewalks cleaned.

Clutter can make the rooms appear smaller than they actually are. So, go through all the rooms in your house and divide your belongings into two main categories – "go" and "stay". Things that you put under the category "stay" would be kept in the house, while those under the category "go" must be stored somewhere else. Though, de-cluttered rooms may seem bare and dull to you, a potential buyer of your house would not think so. Remember, it is not your belongings, but the space that you are trying to sell. It is quite difficult for the buyers to check out the actual space, if there is a lot of stuff placed in the rooms. So, tidy up your entire house before asking your realtor to arrange showings.

Buyers form an impression of a room the moment they view it from the entryway. You must use this viewpoint for evaluating your staged work. Thus, once you are done with the staging of a room, go to the entryway and see how it looks. If there is still some scope of improvement, then make some changes and view the room again from the doorway. This way you would be able to look at all the rooms in your house through a potential buyer’s eyes and ensure that every part of your property appeals to them. Besides, cleaning is also a crucial part of the home staging process. So, before putting your house in the market for sale, thoroughly clean the toilets, bathroom tiles, kitchen counter, windows etc. A spotless house is the first and the easiest step towards making it well turned-out. So, make the most of these simple tips to stage your house and ensure a quick sale.
