If you are striking out alone when selling your home, you need to consider the fact that staging it matters. This is your investment, which means you have already put a lot of time and effort into it. 

Selling it by yourself? That’s not the easiest thing to do but you want to impress buyers directly. That means looking at how to maximise your current investment and get back a decent profit. 

Understanding the features that home buyers want is important, but staging your home to make it look great is equally as important. Below we discussed some of the best staging tips that you need.

1. Declutter everything. If you’re looking to sell your home and appeal to buyers without the help of an agent, then decluttering is the very first thing you should be putting on your priority list. Clutter is just completely distracting for buyers. Their eyes will be drawn to the clutter rather than the shape of the rooms or the furniture that’s built in. The house will look smaller and untidy if it’s cluttered too, and you want to avoid this. Instead of worrying about having too much stuff, you need to think about the fact that potential buyers are going to envisage themselves living in your property. It has to feel like you are not living there for them to be able to do that.
2. Invest in some decent storage. If you want the rooms to feel neat and organized and make it look like they flow well as people walk through your home, add some storage units. Ideally you want to hide these behind doors or in other cupboards. Buyers will open large cupboard doors, so you don’t want to overload things. You want buyers to think that their home or your home will be able to cope with belongings because you have ample storage that’s not under pressure.
3. Call in the cleaners. For this one, you want to call in the experts. A clean home is going to look and feel well cared for, and you want it to smell great when people walk through the door. Renovators don’t want to buy somewhere that gives the impression of neglect, and none of your buyers are going to want to do that either. Clean clutter and pet and child odor free is a great idea. You don’t want to have any DIY jobs that have not yet been finished and you don’t want to give the impression that your home requires a lot of maintenance.

Move the furniture around. A good tip for staging your home is to make sure that the furniture is sitting in the right places, you need it to look good, like it flows well, and that the floor plan is comfortable and bright. You want your home to be one that people want to buy and you want that to look good from the moment they walk in. Fix the dripping faucet, mended the guttering and fill the holes and cracks in the walls. Move the furniture out so that it’s situated in the right places and you’ll find people more susceptible to offering.
