Staging a home can make or break your goal to sell your property. Tips for a successful home staging may be too overwhelming, so why don't we just flip the angles and focus our attention to the things that we should avoid doing. Here are some typical mistakes home sellers commit when trying to stage a home for selling:
Personal Hygiene Items Being Exposed
It's not acceptable to show your personal hygiene stuff to potential buyers, even if it implies that you do take care of your hygiene. Not only is it not professional, but it will also steer you away from your main goal, which is to make the buyers picture themselves out as the ones living in the home. Your personal clutter will hinder the potential buyers from imagining themselves living in that home if they clearly see the home as someone else's house. And of course, the discomfort factor is also undeniable when you are the potential buyer and you see someone else's toothbrush and razors lying around.
Avoid Controversial Items From Being Seen
Whether these are posters or messages on your home's message board or fridge, when it implies anything controversial, it's better to take it down before any home showing. It will only distract the potential home buyers and the negative feeling can pull them away from liking your property.
Say No To Clutter
Make sure that you don't resort to stuffing every mess in your home inside your cabinets, as people may end up opening these. It's better to do things the hard way and enjoy its benefits. Instead of a hallow solution to the clutter problem, it's better to just clean it all up and organize all your things so your home will genuinely look tidy. If you're gonna use your closets to contain your clutter, make sure that your things are properly placed inside these closets in an organized and pleasant manner.
