If you are a property investor and have homes for sale in Greensboro, NC, do you experience trouble selling your properties when you want to? Proper home staging is something you may want to look into to help you present your home as attractively as possible to potential buyers.

First impressions are so important and you want to make sure your property makes a great first impression – with home staging, it creates a pleasant aura that can lure buyers in. It’s not just about merely cleaning and beautifying your home—it’s about setting moods and projecting your home well. Staging can make your home look brighter, warmer, bigger, and more desirable.

So how do you do home staging right? Designer Lisa LaPorta offers 30 convenient tips in her Home and Garden Television article. Here are the most notable ones:

“A master bedroom should appeal to both sexes.

When you are selling, your master bedroom should appeal to buyers of both sexes. Get rid of features that seem too gender-specific. Paint the walls a neutral color, and choose bedding that matches.

Turn an unattractive fireplace into a selling feature.

Need to turn an unattractive fireplace into a selling feature? First, that dated brass screen has got to go. Next, give the fireplace a good cleaning, scrubbing it with soap and water. Then, using a stone color enhancer, polish the bricks to make them shine.

New kitchen appliances bring high returns from sellers.

Get rid of old appliances that make the rest of the kitchen look dated. Once you install the new equipment, it will scream “new kitchen,” and you will see that spending a little money will make you even more.”

If do-it-yourself home staging is too much of a task for you, you can always hire home staging professionals. Note that prices for staging will usually depend on the type of home you have and the level of staging you require. Some stagers only do consultation, while some can provide you with everything you need to stage your home including rental items like artwork, furnishings, lighting, and other accessories.

Selling a home can be quite difficult, and home staging can be an effective tool you can use to help you out. Yes, Greensboro real estate firms like Smith Marketing, Inc. can assist you in selling and marketing or in finding a first-rate and affordable home, but a bare property may not be enough to entice a lot of potential buyers, what with all the competition in the North Carolina triad area. To increase your chances of selling your purchased property more quickly, have your home staged before putting it up for sale.
