Home staging is de-cluttering and making your home desirable to the largest number of people to get as many offers as possible. People don’t see a lot of things that are in their houses as part of themselves and when you try to sell a house you want to make it as neutral as possible, not necessarily in the colors, but in the way it’s presented.

There are 5 basic points that must be applied when staging your home. The home needs to be clean, clutter free, have color, be creatively staged and light.

For the Inside:

• Clean the clutter
• Put away all electrical cords and extra appliances
• Put away family photos.
• Think open space
• Turn on lights and open drapes

For the Outside:

• Shutters improve the look
• Paint/Power wash
• Plants, high, medium, low --- with lots of color.
• Decks - even small ones can be a big improvement.
