Staging The Three Most Important Rooms When your house is shown to potential buyers, every room is important. However, there are three types of rooms that buyers tend to pay particular attention to: the kitchen, bathrooms, and bedrooms. How do you make these rooms look great? Here are some staging tips from the professionals. In the kitchen, make sure the stove, sink and countertops are spotless. In addition, the countertops should be clear of anything that isn’t absolutely necessary. You want to create
The Practically Perfect Open House Summer, for obvious reasons, is a popular time for open houses. If you plan to have an open house to help sell your property, you will obviously want to make the best impression possible on potential buyers. It is very important that all minor repairs
the impression that there is a lot of counter space! In the cupboards, refrigerator and pantry, make sure all food items are facing forward. In the bathrooms, make sure everything is clean and uncluttered, especially around the toilet and in the cabinet under the sink. Remove personal items from the countertop. If there is a shower curtain, keep it open. Make sure that the towels match and are neatly hung on the rack. As a rule of thumb, the more you can make the bathrooms look like those in a nice hotel, the better! In the bedroom, make sure the bed is neatly made, preferably with matching covers
and pillow cases. Make sure that items that are stored under the bed are not sticking out enough to be seen. Closets should be tidy with nothing on the floor except shoes (neatly arranged). It’s okay to have a lot of clothes, as long as it is all hanging neatly. If there are non-clothing items in the closet – such as loose files and papers – store them somewhere else. Don’t leave any clothes lying on the bed, chair or dresser, even if they are nicely folded. Don’t have anything in the laundry hamper. A good REALTOR® can provide you with more staging tips.

be completed before the open house. Even a squeaking door can be a distraction to buyers. Obviously, you’re going to make sure everything is clean and uncluttered. Also consider the lighting. Check that every room is well lit and that there are no burnt-out bulbs. This is especially important in darker spaces like the basement. If you have pets, consider taking them to a “pet day camp” or kennel, or just take them for a long walk in the park. Pets and open
houses are rarely a good mix. You don’t want buyers with allergies feeling uncomfortable. If possible, remove personal items such as family pictures and trophies. Remember that buyers want to visualize themselves living in the home, and your personal items become a distraction. Finally, avoid being home during your open house. Let your REALTOR® be the host!
