1. Home Staging Tips : Boost your
Property’s Appeal on a Budget

2. Introduction
If you are planning to sell your
home, home-staging is a way
to increase your property’s
appeal. Making your home
inviting is essential to
attracting more prospective
buyers and selling at the price
that you want. Staging will
give your home an advantage
when compared to other
homes for sale which are
unstaged.

3. Options
There are professional
home-staging companies
available to transform your
home. The cost will be
dependent on the company
and the services required.
However, there are simple
measures that you can take
yourself to ensure that your
home is at its best for
presentation, while
maintaining your budget.

4. Budget-Friendly Home-Staging Tips
1) De-clutter, Organize, Store
The concept of space is important in a home.
As a property seller, you want to create the
illusion of a larger space for prospective
homebuyers. You can accomplish this with
appropriate de-cluttering, organization and
storage strategies.
Remove as many personal items (ex:
photographs, trophies, clothing) as possible.
Eliminate unnecessary furniture and organize
paper and other miscellaneous items. The
goal is to create a spacious environment so
that potential buyers can envision themselves
settling into the home.

2) Clean Your Home – Both Inside and Out
The smallest details will be noticed by visitors
outside of the home, so make sure to clean all
areas of your property, even if you think it will go
unnoticed. This applies to both the interior and
exterior of the home. Areas that are often missed
when cleaning include faucets, mirrors,
refrigerators, windows and closets.

3) Curb Appeal
The exterior of your property
will generate the first
impression and as such, you
want to ensure that your
home’s external appearance is
well maintained. Mowing and
hydrating the lawn, removing
weeds and a paint job are some
ways you can improve your
home’s exterior appeal.

4) Create a Bright Space
In keeping with the concept of
maximizing space, make sure to
open curtains and let natural light
in when prospective buyers are
visiting your home. This creates
an airy and bright area while also
making your property appear
more spacious. If natural light is
not possible at the time of visit,
turn on all lights in the home to
create the same effect.

5) New Paint and Minor Repairs
Freshen up your home with a new coat
of paint of a neutral tone. This provides a
clean canvas for future owners to
imagine their own style for the home.
Also be sure to fix up any minor cracks
and holes that you may find throughout
your home.

9. In the process of selling your property, taking these home staging steps will
definitely provide a leading edge to your home’s market value.
Aside from these general tips, your realtor may be able to provide more
specific suggestions to improving your home’s appeal in an affordable way.
