Home Staging is Quickly Becoming a Necessity, According to Local Real Estate Professionals
By Michael Fahey | August 13, 2009
According to the Fahey’s, staging should involve as many areas of the home as possible. Two of the most important areas to stage are the family and living rooms, because potential buyers so often focus on these spaces when considering a home. Country Ranch GMAC Real Estate offers these home staging suggestions, which local real estate professionals have used with good results:
• Take down any pictures or personal items – the goal is to help buyers imagine what their belongings – not yours – would look like in your house.
• Freshen up rooms with a neutral yet warm wall paint. Your local paint store will have dozens of samples – buy a small amount and come back and test it on your walls to see if works for your purposes.
• Look into renting a few key pieces of furniture to help freshen and stage your home for success. For instance, if your couch is old and shabby, rent one for 90 days or so; ditto for that rickety coffee or end table.
• If renting isn’t an option, you can often purchase a slip cover to dress up the appearance of your sofa or chairs.
