It comes as no surprise that preparing your home to sell is a daunting task! Couple that with actually selling your home and moving to another, it’s practically impossible. AtRenew Home Staging & Design, we specialize in prepping clients’ homes to sell fast and for top dollar! We’ve rounded up our top tips when it comes to getting your home ready to sell:
A Decluttered home can create a sense of stress and anxiousness for a potential buyer walking through your home. Decluttering parts of your home can create a calming and peaceful environment. The most impactful rooms to consider decluttering are the kitchen, bathrooms, and any storage, as these areas are selling points and can have a positive effect when decluttered. Decluttering includes personal items, decor, and clothing, but also furniture! All furnishings should allow ample space and not block doors or windows. We recommend removing approximately 50% of your items. 
Depersonalizing your home is in addition to cleaning and decluttering. A buyer should be able to picture themselves living in a home, which can be challenging with family photos and personal belongings! Neutralize a space by temporarily tucking away personal pictures, souvenirs, religious symbols, collections, and hobby supplies.
Identify any repairs that need to be made in the home to increase the property’s value. These repairs can include replacing lightbulbs, paint touchup, fixing broken cabinets, and other minor fixes. This is an effective and relatively inexpensive way to improve a home’s appeal. 
A fresh coat of paint can make a home feel brand new! Lighter paint often makes a room feel brighter and bigger. We recommend warm neutral colors and natural shades that match well with any furnishings. Prioritize the kitchen, bathrooms, entryway, and foyer. Remember to clean baseboards and walls!
It’s no secret that home staging can do more to sell your home than anything else. In an age where most prospective buyers view homes online, having good photos for your listing is crucial, and home staging can make or break those photos. Home staging also demonstrates a home’s potential and minimizes any of the home’s disadvantages. In fact, 82% of buyers find it “easier to visualize the property as their future home when it’s staged.” The seller will get multiple better offers when a house looks good and shows better than the marketed competition, meaning you’ll be selling your home for top dollar!
