Staging Your Home to Sell

First, consider what buyers are looking for?

  • S P A C E
  • Seeing their family and their stuff in your home
  • A welcoming feeling (including smells, sights and sounds)
  • Clean, bright, open, inviting

Recommended by Robyn and professional home stagers

  • Curb appeal: Bright colors in front: pillows, chairs, flowers, pots. No dead plants.
  • Front door and front of home: Clear cobwebs, dust, wipe down or re-paint your door. That is the first thing the buyer will see. Is the handle firm? Clean? Is door dingy or bright & clean?
  • Entry to home, once inside should create a sense of space, warmth and invitation
  • Clear all floors of objects, including closets, pantry & laundry
  • Pack up items that you can live without for 2-4 months: clothes, toys, shoes, books, etc.
  • Keep hallways and entry into all rooms clear from furniture
  • De-clutter items on counters, bookshelves & closet shelves. Can you pack it?
  • De-personalize: have your home look like a model home, beautiful & warm, not personal
  • Touch up paint; wipe down walls & baseboards, as well as doors and trim

Consider a few purchases to make your home feel NEW

  • Bath towels, hand-towels, kitchen towels (use just for showings)
  • Rugs (get rid of any that are dingy, worn, dull or stained)
  • Bedding (comforters, pillows)
  • Candle or plug ins (not strong ones!)

Anything you do purchase, get what you love, and take it to your NEW house
