How to sell a home fast is one of the top search queries on Google for those starting to consider selling their home.
While part of the reason to sell quickly is to move on to your next chapter in life, the not-so-secret-secret is that getting your home “show-ready” 24/7 is basically like running a five-star hotel for strangers who might judge your spice drawer.
Exhausting? You bet. Overwhelming? Totally!
I get it. Getting (and maintaining) your home in pristine, show-ready condition is no small feat. The constant battle against clutter, the eternal quest for the perfect ambiance, and the unforeseen hiccups can leave even the most resilient homeowners feeling a tad overwhelmed.
But fear not, I’ve got you covered!
Welcome to this masterclass on how to stage your home to get it ready to sell. I believe that a well-staged home is the secret sauce that makes your property stand out, and more importantly, sell fast!
Think of this guide as your personal superhero cape, shielding you from the chaos and transforming your home into a buyer-wowing masterpiece. No more sprinting around like a caffeinated chihuahua every time the doorbell rings.

These are great ideas. I would add in temperature control. I bought my Florida house in September after looking all summer. If homeowners didn't have the A/C on, I couldn't bear to be in the house. And when it was on, it was a relief to be in the house, which started the tour off on a good note.

That is a very good point! 👏 Same goes for when it’s really cold outside. Like you said, you want it to feel like a relief walking into the house!

I’m literally watching this as I’m cleaning my house. It’s good advice for keeping your house clean and clutter-free. I like the 3-item rule on surfaces. I’m looking around and seeing countless things on all my surfaces. The only thing I wish I could do is scrub without hurting my wrists 😭.

great video. Thanks for sharing your expertise. One suggested addition - remove any signs or artwork with words or phrases (for example to one above the fireplace).

@livingindallasfortworth Ай бұрын

@debbieforhim7800 2 күн бұрын

I would put a huge mirror on that blank wall to add interest, light, and space to that really small living room. Also, I am a believer but thought anything religious was a no no. (Above the fireplace is a plaque with scripture). Just curious.

@livingindallasfortworth Күн бұрын

Good idea on the mirror. Many would tell you to remove any religious items but I focus more on minimizing the number of items as opposed to what they are. As far as worrying about offending someone with a particular faith, I instead caution clients against having anything out on display that wouldn't be appropriate for a child to see.

talking about plants outside: "avoid anything too strong smelling". really? why?

@livingindallasfortworth Ай бұрын

Yes - If it's possible. I wouldn't rip out any established plants that may be strong, but certainly wouldn't plant them for getting the house ready for the market. The reasoning is that the agent and their clients will be standing at your door for a period of time while the agent gets the lock box open and unlocks the door. During this time, the buyers are looking around taking in their surroundings (sights, sounds and smells). If you have a buyer who is very sensitive to strong smells (there are a lot of them!) they will start to fixate on that and it starts the showing off with a negative imprint.

While many of the suggestions you make are very helpful and I can see why they have the potential to boost the chances of selling the property a little faster. However, some of the tips seem to take the process a bit too far, such as expecting homeowners to “change out their drapes” if their drapes have color other than a bland neutral or a pattern of some kind. Even the most opinionated and critical of buyers can comprehend that not everyone has the same taste in decor, and expecting homeowners to discard their expensive patterned or colored drapes for bland, nondescriptive one isn’t a reasonable expectation and may be taking it too far for the seller. If the seller’s home is being featured in House Beautiful, Architectural Digest, or other elite home publications, then perhaps going to the expense of doing all the things you have outlined would prove advantageous. Otherwise it could be costly with little to no chance of recouping the associated expenses. Again, your tips are great, I’m just pointing out that some of them come with significant expense in both money and time which defeats selling the property faster, with no assurance the seller will be able to recoup the added expense or sell the property at a higher price than what it already appraised at.

Thanks for your comment. The goal of staging is to do all you can to make your home appeal to the widest possible audience and these suggestions are for a general audience. It's why I recommend connecting to a local expert to get specific guidance on what works best in your market by visiting topagent.thehomestagingguide.com/ In luxury properties, we do sometimes make exceptions to the suggestion on drapes if they're a compelling element to the overall design of the house. In our market, drapes and curtains sell with the property unless specifically excluded by the seller on the purchase contract. When those can cost thousands of dollars in certain homes, they can be an asset as opposed to a hindrance.

@NYCBrat Ай бұрын

Neutral beige or cream drapes, or just white sheers, are more about neutralizing your decor and not turning off buyers who don’t share your specific taste. These are not going to be costly investments, they needn’t be luxurious or bespoke. The point here is to eliminate colors and patterns that are taste specific, and keep it neutral, to achieve mass appeal. The more interested buyers you attract, the more offers you will receive, maybe even a bidding war. Spend a few dollars now to make lots more profit later. I’ve been in the industry since 1985 and ALL of her advice in this video is spot on.

@livingindallasfortworth Күн бұрын

Most people have a hard time conceptualizing a space without furniture. So if the goal is to help people see themselves in your home you're trying to sell, staging does help more than it hurts.
