Home staging is all about the first impression of the buyers.
So you want to make the best impression possible in the first 10 seconds.
How to do this on a budget and still make the most memorable best impression possible to the buyers without breaking the bank? The first thing that buyers see when they walk onto the property is your front yard and the front of the home.
What impression does your home make to first time viewers? Does it have passable curb appeal or does it look like a cover page photo for home and garden magazine? Or does it look like a weed whacker has its work cut out for it? Is the home visible from the street? Trim hedges, trees and grass so that the home is picture perfect.
Make messy hedges uniform in shape, and spruce up the yard with a punch of color with flowers or low maintenance year round plants and flowers.
Greenery is good in the garden, any vines or foliage growing on the outside of the home should be taken down: Don't over do it with too much color in the gardens stick to a three-color maximum, and a fresh coat of paint using only two paint colors.
If your budget doesn't allow room for painting then pressure-wash the house, shutters and walkways.
Make sure the lawn is mowed and well manicured, raked and generally in good shape.
Remember, you're making a first impression so make it a great one.
If you have a deck, and patio table and chairs you should have the table set with outdoor place settings with napkins, goblets and candles placed in the center of the table.
Make sure your grill is clean and sparkling and placed in an appropriate area of the yard to illustrate to the buyers how functional the back yard can be when they live there.
If you have a pool put all pool toys out of sight.
Place floating flowers or candles in the pool for nighttime showings.
You can also put torches around the yard and have them lite.
Be sure to have them place far away from walk ways.
The ambience gives buyers an idea of where they could be enjoying their evenings outside.
