Follow these five tips for staging your home without spending a penny.
- Get Rid of the Clutter
We can’t stress enough how important it is to get rid of clutter. Clutter takes away from the value of your home. It makes spaces look smaller, makes buyers concerned about lack of storage and also makes them wonder how well the house is been cared for.
- Brighten Things Up
When the day comes to show your house a great way to highlight all of its features is by brightening up the place. Open the curtains and let natural light come in. Turn on lamps in dark corners and overhead lighting when needed.
- Appeal to the Masses
Get rid of anything that could hinder the sale of your home. This includes wild decorations that are over the top. It’s also best to remove religious items and family photos from your décor so that potential buyers feel more comfortable and can imagine the home being theirs.
- Clean From Top to Bottom
A clean house is a sellable house. Clean every part of your home whether you think a potential buyer may see it or not. Some buyers are more curious than others and will want to take a peek in the closets and cabinets.
