🏠 How to Dress Your House for a Successful Sale

1. 🧼 Deep Clean Everything

  • Hire professional cleaners if needed.

  • Pay special attention to kitchens, bathrooms, windows, and floors.

  • Don’t forget baseboards, light switches, vents, and door frames.

2. 🧹 Declutter Every Room

  • Remove excess furniture, personal items, and collections.

  • Clear countertops in kitchen and bathrooms.

  • Store or donate anything you won’t use in the next 60 days.

3. 🪞 Depersonalize the Space

  • Take down family photos, bold artwork, or kids’ drawings.

  • Aim for a neutral, inviting look so buyers can imagine themselves living there.

4. 🎨 Neutral Paint = Instant Upgrade

  • Repaint bold-colored walls with soft neutrals (gray, beige, greige).

  • Touch up scuffs and chips on walls and baseboards.

5. 🛋️ Stage Key Rooms

  • Focus on the living room, kitchen, primary bedroom, and main bath.

  • Use light, neutral throws and pillows.

  • Remove large or dark furniture that makes the room feel small.

6. 💡 Let There Be Light

  • Open blinds and curtains.

  • Replace burnt-out bulbs with bright white LED lights.

  • Clean light fixtures and consider updating outdated ones.

7. 🌿 Add Life with Plants or Flowers

  • A fresh bouquet or a green plant adds warmth and energy.

  • Avoid fake plants unless they’re high-quality.

8. 🧺 Make it Smell Fresh

  • Avoid strong perfumes or air fresheners.

  • Use light scents like lemon, lavender, or fresh linen.

  • Keep pet odors in check with carpet cleaning and ventilation.

9. 🚪 Boost Curb Appeal

  • Mow the lawn, trim bushes, clean up mulch beds.

  • Power wash walkways and siding.

  • Add a new welcome mat, seasonal wreath, or potted plant at the front door.

10. 🧰 Take Care of Small Repairs

  • Fix leaky faucets, squeaky doors, cracked tiles, and broken blinds.

  • These little details show buyers the home is well-maintained.
