Staging a home for sale helps it to sell quicker and generally for more money. However, there are other benefits that give home sellers an excellent reason to consider staging a home for sale as well. Are you ready to take the big step to sell your home? Home staging is revolutionary! This article will look at preparing your house just before staging it.
Staging a home for sale focuses on improving a property to make it appeal to the largest number of buyers. The home is transformed into a welcoming, appealing, and attractive home for sale.
Staging also raises property value through reduction of the home's flaws. The house should be depersonalized, free of clutter, cleaned and landscaped. We will consider a few more things that need to be done when preparing a home for staging.
If you have the space for it, I recommend getting a big dumpster and arrange for it to be hauled away when full. Get a good size one. The dumpster can handle more than you think, don't panic. Throw away everything that you haven't used in the last six months.
Get regular size boxes 16" x 12" x 12". This is the best box size. Consider some of their larger boxes, too, for things like dishes, toys and other things you have. You can fill the boxes but with light items. You will have to carry it at some point.
Invite your friends over for a party as they help you pack. Be sure to wrap your dishes in something soft like the big bath towels.
Write on the boxes with a black felt tip marker information such as:
1. The room it goes in.
2. Once you know the number of boxes for a given room, you can write the box numbers like this, #4 of 7.
3. Indicate the contents and whether they are fragile.
If you've hired movers, do not let them move things like your computer or things that are irreplaceable if damaged. Move these yourself. The movers will not be as careful as you are with your own stuff, even if you mark fragile on the box.
If it's a big move, offer to buy the movers lunch. Fast food or pizza will do. They'll love you for it, and will generally take much better care of you.
If they deserve it, give the movers a good tip. Where they courteous? Did they make a reasonable effort to be careful with your stuff? Then don't be stingy, give them a tip.
