Selling Central Vermont Real Estate, Staging Essential

When it comes to selling Central Vermont real estate staging is an essential element.  There are two types of staging, professional and personal, you can either pay someone to stage your Central Vermont home or you can do it yourself.  Selling Central Vermont real estate requires two key ingredients these days, price and condition.  Central Vermont homes should be priced to sell and in good condition to attract buyers.  Staging goes a long way to helping a home put its best foot forward.

Key steps to staging a home oneself include:

• Clean, de-clutter, de-personalize and organize.  A home should appear as clean and organized as possible, as every potential buyer will undoubtedly open every door and drawer to examine how much storage and space is available.  In addition anything that makes a space appear to be someone else’s detracts from a buyer being able to see himself in the home.
• Rooms should be furnished for their size.  Larger rooms need larger furniture and smaller rooms need smaller furniture.  The idea is to make a room appear as spacious as possible, avoid making them feel “stuffed”, and help them appear as useful as possible.
• Rooms should fit their function. All rooms in a home should appear useful but also appear to fit their use.  i.e., a living room should be furnished as a living room, not an office.
• Take advantage of your Central Vermont home’s light.  Let as much natural light into your home as possible and turn on lights and lamps before each showing.  In addition, all lights should be working and operational.
• Take an objective look at your Central Vermont property’s curb appeal. You will never get a second chance to make a first impression.  Check your landscaping and entry and make sure that a potential buyer will want to walk through your front door.
