Las Vegas Home Staging for A Quick Sale

Real estate experts agree that a home is sold faster, easier, and for a higher sale price with careful staging, and in today's highly competitive Las Vegas market, any leg up you have on the competition is key! Next to a highly effective and knowledgeable real estate agent, one of the best strategies for quickly selling your Las Vegas area home is prepping your house inside and out to appeal to the largest possible audience.

If you've ever walked through a model home and dreamed about making it your own, you understand the concept. Interior designers and home stagers know that the catering to a large number of buyers' senses helps them to easily imagine living in your home.

Do you need some convincing that staging your home is necessary? Consider that many buyers decide whether to buy a house or not based on their first impression - often within the first 15 seconds of walking through the front door. By effectively staging your home, you'll eliminate any excuse for them to leave because of a bad impression. Here are some easy tricks and tips to follow to ensure your successful sale.

1. Eliminate clutter in every room of the house, including closets and garages. Buyers want to see a clean house that feels big enough for them and their things.

2. Take down family photos and anything else that is personalized on the walls, so buyers can see themselves in your home. Make sure the colors on your walls are not too taste-specific. You want buyers to feel as though they could live there, not emphasize that someone else already does.

3. Bring a sense of warmth and comfort to your home by adding strategically placed blankets, pillows, coffee table books and vases around the living areas.

4. Replace worn carpets, clean dingy floor tile grout, and refinish hardwood floors - this eliminates excuses for buyers not to purchase your home because it is already move-in-ready. If you present a home that has all the updating finished, buyers will feel like they're getting more for their money.

5. Capitalize on natural light by making sure furniture and window coverings don't block incoming light, and use high wattage bulbs to brighten a room and make it feel larger.

6. Ensure pet odors or cooking smells are not lingering in your home - buyers will be turned off immediately. Open windows for fresh air, use air fresheners, and clean carpets and upholstered furniture for a fresh look and scent.
