5 Staging Tips To Help Sell Your Home

If you're planning on selling your Colorado Springs home this summer, you probably want to sell it as quickly as possible. The best way to get your home noticed is with staging. You want to ensure the people viewing your home can see themselves potentially living in your home. The best team of real estate agents in Colorado Springs has a few tips to help you sell your home quickly.

1. Boost Your Curb Appeal

This tip is given time and time again, but for good reason. When beginning the staging process it's important to start with the outside. Often times people will decide on the spot by looking at the outside of the house whether it's worth it to look on the inside. Make sure your home is one that people want to come inside. You want your entryway to tell your potential home buyers "welcome home." Here are a few tips to boost your home's curb appeal:

- Power wash your home's siding and walkways
- Ensure your house numbers are easy to see
- Plant blooming flowers and fresh greenery
- Keep your lawn maintained
- Wash the windows

2. Clean & Declutter Your Home

From shining floors to spotless counters, every inch of your home should sparkle. This is the best way to help your home put its best foot forward. You may need to hire a professional to help you out like if your home is carpeted,  you may want to consider hiring a carpet cleaner. If you have pets, it's a good idea to hide their personal belongings while your home is being looked at. Nobody wants to see a dirty dog bowl in the kitchen or torn up and dirty toys laying around the house. In addition to making your home sparkle, it's also a good idea to declutter your home. The point of staging is to make the people viewing your home to feel like they could live there themselves. You want your home to have a nice balance of lived-in and clean.

3. Think Gender Neutral 

When getting your home ready to sell, you want your home to appeal to as many people as possible. This means that you want to think gender neutral when it comes to decorating. Painting your walls is a great way to bring a breath a fresh air into a room. However, now is not the time to try that fun lime-green color. Neutral tones such as greys and browns are best when appealing to a large population. However, this doesn't mean you can't use any color. Just make sure you try to appeal to both men and women with the colors you choose.

4. Do Small Updates

While you may not be able to install brand new cabinets into your home, you can do small updates like a fresh coat of paint or stain and new hardware to make them look like new. New faucets on sinks and bathtubs and new hardware on doors can make a world of difference. Small updates throughout the home can help your old home seem new.

5. Think Seasonally

Since we are going into the summer season, it's important to pay extra attention to certain areas of your home. Ensure your backyard is well maintained and a place the potential new owners will want to spend time. Also, pay attention to things like your home's HVAC system. Because it's the summer months, buyers will pay extra attention to these things.
