Staging Homes For Sale in Saint Augustine Florida

Staging homes for sale in Saint Augustine Florida does not have to be a daunting or expensive task.  Many times a little elbow grease, some rearranging, and occasionally some minor repairs can display your home to its best advantage.

Before you add your home to the list of homes for sale in Saint Augustine Florida you want to make sure it will stand out in a good way. Follow these tips below.

• Curb Appeal.  You only get one chance to make a first impression when looking at homes for sale in Saint Augustine Florida.  Plant flowers, trim bushes, weed, pick up leaves, repaint areas like the front door, replace tarnished house numbers or dented mailboxes, get a neutral doormat, and clear old cars out of the yard
• The Entrance.  Make your entry as light and bright as possible.  Leave all the lights in the house on.  Get rid of all area rugs as they make rooms look smaller.  Be mindful of lingering food odors.
• Kitchen.  The kitchen sells homes for sale in Saint Augustine Florida!  Clean & de-clutter.  Anything taking up counter & floor space must go (toasters, blenders, garbage cans, etc).  Get rid of anything displayed on the refrigerator.  If the counters & cabinets look old consider a touch-up or replacing knobs.  Make sure pantries & shelves are orderly & spacious to show adequate storage space.
• Bathrooms.  Clean & de-clutter! Get rid of any mildew/mold.  If you have a glass shower door squeegee it after every shower and use an item like CLR when appropriate.  Remove all personal items (deodorant, toothpaste, toothbrush, razor, etc) & place them in a cabinet.  Pick up all bathmats & rugs. Only display new, clean, towels.
• Rest of the House
  • Remove knickknacks
  • Remove items in your closet for a previous season (if it’s summer, put the winter clothes somewhere else.)
  • Remove area rugs
  • Remove throw blankets
  • Be sure all house plants are healthy or silk (no plastics)
  • Take a good look at your carpets and have the steam cleaned.
  • Leave the lights on and replace all burned out lightbulbs
  • Keep wastebaskets empty.
  • If possible remove pets.  They can be distracting or even hazardous to potential buyers.  Especially consider this option if you have exotic pets (snakes, lizards, rodents, etc)
  • Leave your home before potential buyers arrive
