When it comes to selling your home, first impressions matter. From the time the buyers pull up to your drive way, you want to impress them. That is why staging matters. You want your home to feel welcoming, and most importantly, you want the buyers to feel like they're at home. Here are a few stagings do's and don'ts that could help make your Colorado Springs home stand out.
Do: Focus on the Curb Appeal
Many potential home owners judge a home before they even enter it. It's important to make this first impression count. Make sure the lawn is well taken care of by mowing it regularly as well as keeping the weeds under control. Depending on the season, you can also add potted plants or other decorative items on the porch.
Do: Clean, Clean & Clean Some More
While your home doesn't need to be spotless, potential buyers can tell if your home isn't cleaned at all. Ensure beds are made, dust, clean the windows and mop the floors. If there are any odd odors or stains on the carpet or furniture, take care of them before showing the house.
Do: Declutter & Depersonalize
You want to make sure that the potential home buyers can picture your home and their home. It's best to declutter and most importantly depersonalize. Take away any trinkets that are around your home, make sure the mail is tucked away and that the countertops are clutter free. In addition, take away any personal items like family pictures.
Don't: Do Major Renovations
Everyone has different likes and dislikes, what you like might not be what your potential buyers like. You don't want to do a complete bathroom remodel and turn off potential buyers because they don't like the tile you picked or the vanity, yet it's all brand new so they won't want to tear it all apart. It's best to just do simple changes like change out fixtures.
Don't: Pick Colorful Paints
If you decide to paint, it's best to stick with neutral colors. You want your home to appeal to as many people as possible, which means you need to think gender-neutral with everything including the paint color. Painting your walls is a great way to bring a breath of fresh air into a room. However, neutrals like greys and browns are best when appealing to large groups of people.
Don't: Think Your House Will Sell Itself
The real estate market is tricky sometimes. Make it a little bit easier by making your home the most appealing on the block. Declutter, clean, do small repairs, repaint and do what you can to make your home feel fresh and welcoming.
