Home Staging Courses

This is NOT a Home Staging Course but is intended as a brief overview of “some” of the subjects covered in Home Staging Courses that should be considered when preparing a house for sale.

Clean-up the clutter: Start by removing the clutter in the house. Small knick-knacks, collectibles, excess toys, and miscellaneous papers should all be removed before showing the house to buyers. Removing clutter will instantly increase the visual size of your room.

Clean-up the house: You are in competition with many other houses as well as new construction homes. You need to make the house feel as fresh as possible by thoroughly cleaning everything from light fixtures to baseboards. (Obviously you can hire somebody to do this) This will help to eliminate any odors left by pets, smoking, or cooking.

Arrange Furniture: Furniture layout determines the visual size and “flow” of the room. Take note of how the furniture is placed in the house. Is there a focal point in each room? Are there easy pathways around the furniture? If the house is vacant you can rent furniture for temporary display purposes.

Color Choices: Freshen up outdated or dirty walls with a new coat of paint. Painting is the least expensive way to update a room. Consider soft, neutral colors that appeal to a broad range of buyers while avoiding stark white or paint that is too bright. Choose wisely, wall color sets the atmosphere in a room.
