The National Association of Realtors suggested that staging a home has the power to not only increase its value by up to 5%, but also decrease the amount of time any home is on the market. If you want to sell your home fast for cash, staging may be the perfect way to do it, but what are the most important elements when you decide to stage your home? Check out these home staging ideas. 

  1. Make Sure It’s Clean First: A buyer won’t see anything but the dirt if you stage your home without a serious deep clean first. You’ll want to clean both inside and out when you do. Power wash the siding and clear your gutters. Wash the windows, and make sure your lawn has been carefully mowed. Then hire a cleaning company to do a serious deep clean so the grout, molding, and all of the hard to reach places have been addressed before you stage your house. 
  2. Highlight Storage: If you’re like most people, you probably have a lot of stuff. Unfortunately, all of that stuff is covering up one of the most powerful parts of your home – the available storage. As you work to stage your home, store, pack, or eliminate as much of the “stuff” in your home as possible. Highlight how much closet space is possible in your home, how big your cabinets are, and all of the built in storage features you can. 
  3. Fresh Neutral Paint Can Help: If you’re looking to sell your home fast for cash, you’ll want to add a coat of fresh paint to the walls during the staging process. Keep in mind, though, that you want to go with a neutral color, though, because buyers want something that easily matches their current color scheme when they move in.
