Staging your home, otherwise known as preparing your property for viewers, is crucial to increase the property sale value and it can also help to sell your property faster.
The following tips are essential to a successful staging:
Tidy up and make it real
Over time, we accumulate excess stuff in the storage and around the house. Therefore, it is vital to clean up and make your home clutter-free and beautiful.
Your property is more attractive to buyers when you remove unnecessary items taking up space that would otherwise add to its beauty. When a buyer walks in, they either feel welcome or put off by how your environment looks.
While it’s important to tidy up your home, don’t take away the fact that humans live there. Your buyer wants to see evidence of human habitation; let your personality show without mess around the surroundings.
If anything, your personality offers a higher chance of selling your property fast and profitably. Your prospect would be impressed with the innovation of your housekeeping; your lifestyle can become something to emulate.
Take out the bulky furniture that makes the room smaller; small space isn’t appealing to anyone!
A coat of fresh paint

A coat of fresh paint
A fresh lick of neutral paint will enhance your walls, make it look bigger, feels lighter, and attractive.
Your prospective buyer would feel attracted to imagine the beautiful things he would do with the rooms when they buy.
A fresh coat of color would give the buyer the thought that the house would not cost so much to fix.
Make the first lasting impression
A house is sold on the first impression you can make when a prospective buyer sees the property.
A survey conducted in 2019 with over 2000 participants indicated that well-maintained windows and a roof are the most important kerb appeal in a property. Equally important are exquisite landscaping and facelift of the frontage.
Fix and clean
Do a spot check of areas needing repairs and fix. You will not only improve the damaged areas; you will need to clean everywhere as well to give the buyer the urge to act fast.
You are not fixing and cleaning for no results; you need to do it with all seriousness for the best results. From windows frame to doors and railing on the stairs and hidden areas in the bathroom need your attention to fix and clean for the optimum appeal to your prospective buyer.
If you have to, get deodorizer to give the environment a scented appeal to make your prospective buyer want to have it right away.
Move to the surroundings, mow the lawn, trim the flowers, and cut the overgrown bushes. Clean the furniture and fix any damages. Of course, doing these may not increase cost value; it would help to sell faster!
Improve the kitchen
The kitchen is the way to a good living. No wonder every homeowner values the kitchen. People cherish bigger and spacious kitchens, and you can help your would-be, buyer, by decluttering it for a good view and appreciation.
You don’t have to change the kitchen cabinet. Instead, you can take a cost-effective approach to refurbish the furniture and fixtures. You may consider changing kitchen countertops; though an expensive deal, it wouldn’t increase your property’s value but helps to sell faster.
Free your kitchen of clutter, leave only essential lighter items.
Upgrading the plumbing and appliances can accelerate selling, but it’s hard to recoup your investment in them fully, so caution!
Light and airy
The hack of making a small room appear bigger and lighter is to use mirrors. Places to position mirrors are smaller rooms or corridors.
Fix your broken windows and clean inside out. For more light, ensure all bulbs are in working condition. A well-lit room feels airy and warm, feels bigger, and makes your home beautiful.
Get all dark areas well lit and leave the light on when you are around. For a warm glow, ensure you put on a soft lamp in the bathroom.
Ensure it’s beautiful
Resist the urge to leave your windows naked. What would you think if you walk into a home without the blinds in place? Dressing your windows with curtains shows people live around; otherwise, it leaves your guest with the thought of an empty house. It doesn’t have to be expensive blinds.
Enjoy the natural colors of plants and flowers. A plant in the home shows there is life, especially with a well-lit room and wonderful smells from the fragrances of flowers and fruit bowl on your kitchen counter.
Get the right smells
The takeaway from doing the above is to have a home that feels clean, bigger, and nicer! These values attract your prospective buyer to want to make you a deal. Ensure you do an excellent job with everything discussed and have your surroundings smell sweet.
In a lighter mood, you can even bake fresh bread on the day of your appointment with the buyer; this gives a sense of welcome and urgency to buy. Who doesn’t want good things around them?
