There’s one key reason why people who sell their homes stage them. They want to tempt the potential buyer by having him or her dream about being a potential homeowner. If you’re moving you could always hire the professionals to stage your home. But staging houses isn’t rocket science. Did you know that you can do it yourself and save thousands?
● Make sure the house is spotless. This means that there should be no papers or pet hair on the floor. The sink should also be neat, tidy, and free from dishes.
● Keep your house spotless. Looks matter when staging your house. You’ll get far fewer buyers if your house looks like a pigsty.
● Keep your drawers, cabinets, and other storage places neat and organized.
