Can you believe that homes that have undergone staging will spend “73 per cent less time on the market”? When you’re in a time crunch and need to sell your home fast, staging is one tool that makes all the difference. Invest in proper home staging and watch the offers come in. If you’re not sure where to start with staging your home for sale, here are the top five tips to
follow.

1. Clean, Clean, and Clean Some More
   Before both rearranging the furniture and painting the walls, make sure your home is clean for potential buyers. No one wants to tour a home (in person or virtually) and see dust on the baseboards or grime in the shower. Invest the time and energy into deep cleaning your home
   from top to bottom or hire a professional cleaning service to do it for you. And don’t forget the exterior- power washing the front porch goes a long way.
   
2. Make It Seem Brand New
   It’s hard for potential buyers to visualize themselves living in your home when it still looks like, well, your home. Removing all personal photographs from the walls, refrigerator, and tabletops gives your home a clean slate for potential buyers to imagine hanging their own family photos. Bonus points for organizing your storage closets so buyers can see how much space they have for their things.
   
3. Repair Cosmetic Damages
   While major renovations and upgrades can certainly help get your house sold, don’t discount the value of making minor repairs too. Buyers notice scuff marks on baseboards, loose cabinet doors, and flaking caulking. Spend a weekend tackling all the tiny details that tip the needle in getting your house sold.
   
4. Arrange the Furniture and Take One Away
   We make our homes feel like ours by arranging the furniture in a way that makes sense for us. But potential buyers might not have the same preferences as you. It’s best to arrange the furniture in a way that makes the space feel as open as possible. Most people also have more furniture pieces than they need. Consider putting that extra side table, chair, or storage bin out of sight for viewings.
   
5. Use Neutral Colors and Earthy Touches
   Make your home a blank canvas for potential buyers to dream about. If your home currently has some bold colour choices on the walls, consider painting them with neutral colours. Loud, unique colours distract buyers from all the selling points your home has to offer. Once it’s neutral, add earthy touches like succulents, indoor plants, and fresh flowers.
