Home-staging key to selling in today’s market | Ennis Daily News

First on your to-do list, is to de-clutter. Once you put your home on the market to sell it is no longer your home, unfortunately. It needs to show like a model home. Pack away all the photos and knick-knacks that you have accumulated over the years, after all you are moving; get a jumpstart on the packing process. You want your house to look as spacious and roomy as possible, so remember the motto….less is more.

Next comes cleaning, nothing turns a buyer off more than a dirty house. Clean all the nooks and crannies you’ve never cleaned before…it will be noticed. We all keep our homes tidy and orderly, but when it comes to selling your home, you want a top to bottom, inside out clean. Glass doors and windows are particularly important; they should be glistening clean both inside and out. Another area of neglect is ceiling fans and air vents. These are commonly overlooked in our daily routine. But certainly a potential buyer will take note and may result in a bad first impression.

After thorough cleaning and de-cluttering the interior, it’s time to move outdoors. You want your house to be the cream puff of the neighborhood. You can accomplish that with some simple curb appeal! ......
