Staging Basics

Q- What is the most important thing I should do when staging to sell my home?

A- The most important thing, luckily enough, costs the least amount of money. It does, however, require some elbow grease! Simply put -- make sure your house sparkles.

Do a thorough cleaning (including washing walls and ceilings). Then, get really picky! Take a look at the details. Does your grout look grubby? Open all of the cupboard doors. Are your window runners dirt free? Does anything need a fresh coat of paint to really look clean? Do the white glove test.

And finally, does it smell clean? Eliminate any detectable odours including air fresheners and perfumes. What one person thinks smells good may turn another off.

Likely, after your efforts, your home will feel so good you’ll wonder why you hadn’t staged sooner!
