First impressions matter! The correct staging of your home can go a long way toward achieving a successful sale at the highest price. Even minor alterations can have a major impact. Here are a few general guidelines that can help transform your home and present your home in the best way possible to attract the best offers.
• Start from the outside: A well-kept lawn can help secure a strong first-impression for your home. A day or two of yard work can mean a world of difference in the buyer’s mind. A manicured lawn and well-groomed landscape will help bring in prospective buyers from the beginning.
• The front door welcomes the prospect: Doorways and entrances are usually the first thing a visitor sees inside of your home. Step outside your front door and take an objective view. A fresh coat of paint or scrubbing your door clean will be well worth the effort invested. Maybe opt for a seasonal door decoration to instantly give your home a warm, inviting feel.
• Highlight your home: Ample lighting will project a feeling of warmth to the potential buyers. Clean windows to help illuminate walls and ceilings.
• Clean, clean, clean: Be sure bedrooms and bathrooms  are gleaming! The kitchen should be spotless as well. Clean countertops and make them free of clutter. Repair caulking in bathtubs and showers. Polish fixtures .
• A place for everything: Make sure beds are made and clothing is put away. Neat, well-organized closets show that there is plenty of storage space. Straighten newspapers, magazines or other “homey clutter” to help improve your home’s image to buyers.
• Check for repairs: Minor flaws in your home suggest neglect to the prospect. Be sure to check major appliances. If a potential buyer can find a minor defect in a house, he or she will often assume there are more serious underlying issues elsewhere.
• Relax and have fun! Once a showing is scheduled, try to make plans for lunch or to visit a friend. Having homeowners milling around will often make prospect buyers feel uncomfortable and hurry through a showing. So, relax, and trust me to showcase your beautiful home.
