Moving Tip #514: Stage Your House to Sell it!

Everyone knows the saying, “You never have a second chance to make a first impression.” Well, in this economy, this saying includes selling your house!


Recently, I have talked about ridding yourself of old, unwanted paperwork so you are ready for your big move day and that will also help when staging your home. People need to see that you have plenty of room for storage. Once all your trash is gone, your home and storage spaces will appear larger.

Of course, you could make your space seem even larger by selling or donating anything you haven’t touched in 3 moths or more. And you should get jump on your move by “de-personalizing” your home. This means taking down all the family pictures so that prospective buyers can picture themselves living in your home.

A big step in staging your home is removing some unneeded furniture and other big items. I’m not suggesting you get rid of them completely. These are things that you may like and make your life comfortable but they just make your house appear smaller to a future buyer making a sale harder.
