 Simple Staging Tips by Champagne Staging Save money and time on the market... You've heard it all before. Staging makes a huge difference in how well your home shows on-line and in person to potential buyers. Staging does not have to be an overwhelming project. Here are some simple things you can do. |
 |
Keep plungers & toilet brushes out of sight (we don't want Buyers thinking icky thoughts).
Remove your personal goodies like toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoos etc. from view.
Check & see if you need fresh caulk around your sinks & tubs.
Mr. Clean Magic Eraser does wonders on shower door scum!
Icky grout? Use Soft Scrub with bleach & an old toothbrush to clean the grout. It's a pain,
but the end result is worth it!
Hang fresh, unwashed towels for showings. Don't forget to remove them after a showing
so nobody uses them!
Pick up area rugs for showings. They tend to "chop up" the floor. Also, people want to
see what they are buying!
Paint (aka money in a can!) Keep colors neutral, but warm. Stay away from antique white,
navajo white or off white for walls - boring!
Use flat paint for walls when selling. Its less expensive and any
imperfections won't show as much.
Use semi gloss for baseboards & doors. Its easy to clean and holds
up well in these high traffic areas.
If you are trying to match a wall color, be sure to get the SAME
BRAND as is the original paint. The same formula for "Sage Green"
will be turn out different at different at Home Depot, ACE or
Sherwin Williams.
Kitchens
Remove trash cans for showings
Wipe down cabinets. If they are real wood use Pledge Orange Oil to remove water spots and
give a fresh shine.
Clean the little vent slats on your oven & microwave & the grease spots from the stove hood.
No more than 3 small appliances on the counters. (Make sure they are in good shape)
ALWAYS REMOVE KNIVES from plain view for showings. Let's keep our agents protected.
Check the caulk around the back splash & sinks.
Hang a fresh, colorful towel on the stove.
If you have an island, put a nice colorful fruit bowl or vase of flowers for showings. (Plus it will
be cheery too!)
