If you’ve been wondering whether or not you should order DIRECTV online to have it playing in the background during showings, we recommend you wait until you move. If you’re considering better staging, though, we fully support it and here are a few of our best tips to get you started:
Ditch the Gym: A lot of homes, particularly those with an extra bedroom, install a home gym of sorts. This isn’t a great sell feature. Pack up the equipment and turn the room into something more functional like an office or guest room for the time being.
Get Rid of the Personal Stuff: You know that giant oil painting of your whole family above the mantel? Take it down. Family photos should be the first to go, then things like dog beds and name murals on the walls. It’s all about making things neutral.
Kill Empty Space: If you’ve got any room in your house you’re not using, make sure it doesn’t look bare. Hire a stager to bring in some furniture or pull some over from another, too crowded room.
