Wednesday, May 26, 2021
Whether you are a first time seller or have sold tens of properties over the years, there is always much to learn when it comes to staging your home to sell quickly - and for top dollar! That is where we come in. In today’s blog post we are going to be discussing a few tips and tricks to help you stage your Omaha, NE home in order to attract the most buyers and get the best offers in this hot real estate market. Let’s dive in: -Our first tip is one we are sure you hear often, and that is to declutter your home. It is important to remove items throughout your house that you no longer want or need to not only make space in your home, but to ensure you aren’t hauling unnecessary items to your new home. Make sure to clean and clear surfaces, closets, floors, and pantries so potential buyers can get a good sense of the space in the home.
-Adding a few elements such as a bowl of lemons by the sink, vases with colorful flowers or a basket of fresh fruits and vegetables is a great way for buyers to feel right at home. You want your house to feel cozy, clean and livable, and these little touches are a great way to accomplish that.
-The front of your home is the first impression buyers will have of the property, so make sure its a good one! Complete tasks such as power washing walkways and siding, wash windows, mow the law and/or reseed, repaint the front door, stain the porch floor and plant bright flowers.
-Setting your dining room table is a warm touch to add to your home when staging. You don’t necessarily need to break out your fine china, but having a nice arrangement is a wonderful way to show buyers where they will be making future memories with family and friends.
-Make sure each room has a clearly defined purpose. If you have extra bedrooms in the house, it may be a fun idea to transform one into an office space or a fun lounge area/game room. This is a great way for buyers to see how extra space in the house can be utilized.
-Don’t forget to stage your outdoor areas as well. Some people only think to stage the inside of their homes, but many families love to see how the outdoor space can be utilized as well. Adding some cozy chairs, a lawn game, warm blankets and even a fire pit is a great way to add to the outdoor space of your home.
-If you have pets, be sure to take extra care to neutralize odors and/or stains in spaces throughout your home. This can be a big one for buyers, so bringing in a professional team to clean and steam your carpets could be a great investment.
-Lastly, you always want to make sure your home is cleaned prior to showings. Wipe those counters, clean those windows, dust that mantle - potential buyers will be impressed to see the house in great condition!

There are those that say a picture is worth a thousand words, but in the world of real estate, a picture could be worth a few hundred-thousand dollars! More so now than ever, it is imperative to have high quality photos that show off all the wonderful qualities and features your home has to offer when listing your house online. Why is this such an important part of the selling process you ask? A few key reasons, but the main one being that many people are turning to the internet to look at homes in their desired area. And having quality photos that show off your home may be just the key to getting more showings and ultimately more offers. Just because many realtors will either take the photos themselves or bring in a professional team to capture the home does not mean that you do not play a key role in how the images can turn out.
