The main idea behind Staging is to make the home as attractive as possible with the understand that the potential buyers can see themselves living in it. It can be easy to focus on the inside of the house but the outside is important too. You want the outside of the house to invite them closer. You want the outside to be a good first impression. For more information on Staging, view Augusta Staging. Here are some of the things that can be done outside to bring them in:
- Be sure to walk the perimeter of the house and move all garbage cans and any other clutter and take them to the dump. Make sure the outside is free and clear of all clutter.
- Check the gutters and roof for any leaves, moss or dry rot. Make sure the roof is swept and neat looking.
-Make sure all plants are manicured. Don't let any plants block any of the windows. You have to be able to see the house to buy it ! Remove any dead plants and weed all planting areas.
-Make sure your lawn and freshly cut and fertilized for the growing season.
- Make sure your patios and decks are free and clear of all small items such as little planters, charcoal (the grill is ok) and toys.
-Be sure that the condition of paint on your home is good. Especially the front door and trim. This is very important.
Staging can sell your home faster and for more money. ASP states that on average 95% of Staged homes sell 11 days faster and for 17% more.
