Tips On Staging Your Omaha, NE Home To Sell
Listing your home to sell is an exciting time as you prepare to say goodbye to one chapter and welcome the next with open arms. But before you put your home on the market there are a few steps you should take to increase your chances of selling quickly and for top dollar.
The home staging process is crucial to ensure your property shows well and potential buyers can see themselves living in the space. Below we have listed a few tips and tricks to help you stage your Omaha, NE home – let’s dive in!
-The first step in staging your home is to de-clutter the space. Too much furniture can make your home appear small and closed off and too many items around can distract potential buyers. This will also allow for a clean canvas for you to stage.
-You will also want to depersonalize your home. We understand this may sound strange but having family photos everywhere and kids’ artwork hanging on the fridge can make buyers feel like they are visiting your home, instead of envisioning themselves settling in and making a home for themselves there.
-Steam clean the carpets (you can do this yourself or hire a company) to make sure there are no stains or odors.
-Paint rooms that are looking dull. It is a good idea to stick to white or neutral colors as to not throw off potential buyers with colors that don’t match their taste and preference. It will also make rooms appear larger.
-Natural light is a huge selling point for potential buyers, so make sure windows are clean to allow the sunlight to shine through. You may also opt to replace dark window treatments with lighter ones.
-Style your dining room table to make the space welcoming and fun. This is an area that is largely forgotten about when it comes to staging and can really make a big difference.
-Rooms should not be left unfurnished but instead staged by how the spaces can be best utilized. This will help potential buyers easily see how each room can be used and designed.
-Crank up the curb appeal with a freshly painted front door, add a welcoming wreath, trim the grass and plant colorful flowers all around. A first impression is crucial – especially when it comes to buying a home!
