Boosting Final Home Sale Price Through Effective Staging

William Dotterweich is an accomplished real estate agent who serves as a broker associate at Central Property Realtors. One of William Dotterweich’s areas of expertise is staging homes to maximize the final sale price.

The first step to effective home staging is tidying and cleaning, but both of these activities should be incredibly thorough and detailed. In other words, homeowners or stagers should eliminate every bit of household clutter and make sure that every nook and cranny of the house is absolutely spotless.

Other simple and inexpensive ways to stage a home for sale include removing pets from homes and placing slipcovers over any furniture that is worn or out of style. Wise homeowners or stagers will also stow away all exhibited memorabilia and family photos. Part of the home selling process lies in encouraging prospective buyers to imagine themselves living in the house they are visiting. Seeing the personalized paraphernalia and pictures of another family in the home can quickly destroy this illusion.
