Today we are going to discuss the four best staging tips for anybody thinking of selling a home in Baltimore and Harford. There are tons of professional stagers out there who can give you all sorts of different ways to appeal to buyers, but we want to give you the four things that work best for our clients. A properly staged home is warm, inviting, and perceived as a better value, which equals a higher sale price. Here’s how you can create that home:


1. Landscaping
Landscaping is huge. A lot of times, buyers make their initial judgement of a home before they hit the front door. I recommend putting down fresh mulch, flowers, and trimming your shrubs.

2. Declutter
If you have shoes, coats, or hats just lying around, get some bins and tuck them away. Getting a storage unit isn’t a bad idea if you have a lot of personal items in your home you’d like to keep. 

3. Kitchen
Some buyers like to see granite counter tops and stainless steel appliances in kitchens. We have used professional service providers that give great advice as far as what the best repairs and improvements are for the value of your home.

4. Painting
Pay attention to both the exterior and interior of your home. Touch up the trim by painting the door, and use a magic eraser for any marks or scuffs. If a room has chipping paint in it, you may need to put a fresh coat down.
