Be Ready To Put Your St Louis Home On The Market With These Staging Tips

Tomatoes in windowThe first impression really does count with potential home buyers. If your St Louis home is lacking basic curb appeal or is not sparkling inside, you could lose a potential buyer’s interest immediately – and never get it back! Here are some tips to avoid losing a potential buyer:

  • Flowers, flowers, flowers. Nothing welcomes a potential buyer more to a home than colorful flowers.
  • Keep walkways clear, trimmed and weeded.
  • Patios must be power-washed.
  • Windows should be sparkling.
  • Dust everywhere. Even the baseboards.
  • Since potential buyers look everywhere, make sure underneath your sinks and closets are clean, clutter-free and odor-free.
  • Remove all personal items such as framed photos, awards and collectibles. Buyers need to be able to imagine the space as theirs.
  • Paint any room that is a bright color, a neutral color.
  • Remove any worn or outdated furniture.
  • Repair any chipped or smudged paint, broken fixtures or squeaky doors.
  • Toss worn carpets.
  • Consider replacing dated hardware.
