Getting ready to sell your home? Appearance is everything. That's where home staging comes in. But hiring a professional "stager" to prepare the home for prospective buyers can sometimes cost too much. You want to make sure the staging is perfect and your home will be quick to sell. The Burnett Real Estate Group has the experience in what it takes to make your home look like a million bucks. When selling your Nashville home our team knows what’s best and most affordable in getting your home ready to go on the market.
Here are a few staging tips that can help when looking to get the maximum return on your investment.
Create a balanced space: To make a room appear bigger, paint it the same color as the adjacent room. If you have a small kitchen and dining room, a seamless look will make both rooms feel like one big space
Don’t overcrowd rooms: Don't overcrowd a room with furniture that is too large for the space; it will only make the room appear small and cramped. However, don't leave a room too barren either. In a narrow space, shelves can add depth to make a room feel larger.
Repurpose your resources: Salvage old materials to save money. The designed to sell experts are always looking for ways to repurpose old junk. They've turned strips of hardwood flooring into a fence, cut down pieces of old laminate countertops to make shelves and made headboards out of just about anything, including old doors.
Make awkward spaces functional: Make the most of an awkward space by giving it a function. The slanted ceilings in this attic bedroom created a hideaway nook with no real purpose. By adding wall-to-wall shelves and a desk, the area has immediately turned into a private office. This new space adds value to the home and is a feature potential buyers are sure to remember.
Revamp the kitchen: If you can't afford new cabinets, get new doors and drawer fronts, paint everything to match and add new hardware. Instead of replacing the entire dishwasher, you may be able to get a new front panel. Check with the manufacturer to see if they sell replacements for your model. If not, laminate paper can be used to re-cover the existing panel.
Enhance curb appeal: You only have one chance to make a first impression. There are so few buyers out there -- you want your home to stand out. Mow the lawn, make sure the sidewalk and driveway are free of clutter and debris, and ensure the house number is easily visible. It may also be beneficial to pressure-clean the exterior of your home, driveway and sidewalk, if needed. Another valuable low-cost solution is mulch it is cheap and covers a multitude of sins. It makes everything look trim and neat.
