Roseville Home Staging Tips

Jun. 19, 2009

Getting your house ready to sell can seem overwhelming, but it doesn't have to be. Just keep in mind that you're wanting potential buyers to be able to see their own family and possessions in your home. By hiring a professional home stager you will have more time to do the things that you need to do in order to get the home ready for market.

In order to do that, your home must have more "blank areas" than usual to allow buyers to imagine their things in your space. Since you're going to be packing for your move anyway, go ahead and get a start on it now. Box up out of season clothes to make closets seem more spacious. Remove family photos so buyers don't feel the house is already "taken". Give them opportunities to visually place their possessions by having less of your own spread around the house. Allow your house to still feel comfortable, but never crowded or cluttered.

If you need specific advice, we would be happy to help you prepare your home for sale. Please call us at 916-300-0402 or 916-517-5710
