We have been talking about a variety of staging tips when selling your home.  The first few posts have been about the importance of curb appeal and a bright entrance.  The next tip is quite possibly one of the most important, a clean home.

 

A clean home is essential when listing your home as it may remove the smell of pet odors, brighten your space, and allow buyers to visualize themselves living in your space.  Last night's dishes in the sink or your scattered newspapers and magazines may distract buyers from the rest of your house, which is exactly the opposite of what you are trying to do.  It is difficult for postential buyers to see past your personal mess.

 

There are two different types of cleaning when you clean your home a big overhaul and then general upkeep.

 

The Big Overhaul

You will want to consider doing a big overhaul with cleaning before listing.  This includes things such as washing walls, scrubbing floors and baseboards, washing windows, etc.  Not only will this freshen up your space, it will give you an opportunity to start to go through some of your things before moving.  

 

If you don't have time for a big overhaul, you may want to consider hiring a professional cleaning company.  They will get your house squeaky clean in no time!

 

 

General Upkeep

After you have done your big overhaul, you just have to do general upkeep each day.  Then when your realtor calls to let you know that there is a showing scheduled, your home is already clean and organized.  General upkeep includes making sure the dishes are done, clutter is put away, the house is vacuumed and bathrooms are kept tidy.

 

Make a great impression with buyers!  Instead of this:

Happy cleaning!

Our first post about Staging Tips talked about the importance of a first impression with curb appeal.  This post is taking it to the next step with a bright and inviting entrance.  

 

When buyers' open your front door, it will be one of the first impressions of your home, so you want to make a big impact.  Whether you live in a large home or a cozy condo, you want to create an inviting entrance for potential buyers. Here are a few tips that can help:

 

Make It Bright 

If you have windows close by, make sure the blinds are open for a bright and friendly entrance.  If not, make sure all the light bulbs are changed for that extra lighting.

Get Organized

Regardless of the size of your front entrance, you want to make sure the space is clean and organized.  Adding a small table or baskets can be a great place for a key dish, putting away your kids' mitts and scarves, or displaying a nice plant or bouquet of flowers.

Add A Mirror

Adding a mirror to your front entrance can not only brighten up your space, it can also make your space appear larger, especially if you have a small front entrance.
