Are you ready to sell your Central California home? Now is a great time to do it, and as your Central California real estate agent, I am standing by, ready to help you! Part of selling your home is cleaning, decluttering, staging and getting the home ready for listing photos and showings.

To help you with the staging process, MSN recently shared some staging tips straight from the pros. Here are a few of their suggestions:

• Less is more. By having less items in a room, it allows a buyer’s eyes to focus on the highlights of each room. It also tends to make rooms look larger, and it allows the buyer to imagine designing the room with their own furniture.

• Make it neat. If a buyer is serious about buying your home, they will scrutinize each room during a showing, while you’re not there. This means that every inch of the home needs to be clean and organized. That includes closets, laundry rooms, inside cabinets, toilet seats, etc.

• Keep it neutral. One of the main points of staging a home is to make a buyer want to live there. You want them to be able to imagine their own furnishings in there, and their own family living in the space. This means removing any personal items, such as photographs, homemade artwork, religious figurines and the like.

• Get an outside opinion. Even if you can’t afford a professional stager, just asking honest friends or neighbors will help. As a Central California real estate agent, I will give you my honest tips and opinions too! Often, you can make a big difference by adding a few small items, such as silk flowers or throw pillows, and these are things you can purchase very cheaply.
