Do It Yourself
This is your go-to option if you have the time, you want to save some cash, and you’re confident that you can present your property in the best way possible. Tasks you might need to perform include: decluttering and a whole lot of cleaning on the interior and exterior parts of the home, rearranging furniture and decor, removing personal photos and other items, repainting and touching up the walls, adding new curtains and throw pillows, among other things. You can also bring some warm touches like fresh flowers and plants, and decor items such as candles and a diffuser, that will also make sure your house smells amazing.
One caveat is that most homeowners are personally connected to their properties so they may feel overwhelmed to rearrange their homes. But once you decide to sell, remember that it’s no longer your “home” but a product on the market that needs a new owner. You need to see objectively, from the perspective of a buyer, so ask for honest opinions from your agent, family, and friends, about what needs to be changed.
Get Your Real Estate Agent to Help You
While it isn’t your real estate agent’s job to professionally stage your home, they might provide recommendations or be more hands-on in the process, especially if they strongly believe in staging’s ability to boost a home sale. With their extensive experience and industry knowledge, they will be able to look at your property with an objective eye so you’ll know what needs to be done to spruce it up.
Hire a Professional Staging Company
If you have the budget for it, your agent can help you find a professional home staging company, also known as Accredited Staging Professionals (ASPs), to either do a consultation or a staging service. In most cases, they have an inventory of decor, furniture, and artwork that they can use to stage your home. They will assess your home and provide suggestions on what should be done to increase the home’s appeal or showcase more efficient use of the space. Their services can also extend to the exterior and outdoor spaces to help improve your home’s curb appeal.
