Top 10 List of Staging To-Dos

MOST COMMON STAGING ITEMS THAT INCREASE A SALE

Staging by definition can mean cleaning, replacing appliances, painting, new flooring, changing a door out, adding or deleting furniture and much more. According to NAR (National association of REALTORS®) the cost of staging your home usually costs less than your first price reduction!

1. Deep Clean

Hire a cleaner if necessary, tackle odors, get into the nooks and crannies.

2. Declutter

Hire a company if necessary, hauling off unwanted items.

3. Touch up all peeling paint

Eaves, soffits, window trim, decks etc. (peeling paint is a financing obstacle with many loan products)

4. Interior Paint Refresh

If you feel it needs touchup it probably does. Neutral colors are best.

5. Roof/Leaks

Correct any water intrusion issues. (older curling roofing is a financing obstacle with many loan products)

6. Pre-sale inspections

General inspection, septic inspection, water test, pump your septic tank.

7. Electricians visit

GFCI outlet replacements, knob & tube wiring removal, improper breakers.

8. Plumbing/Heating visit:
