Tips for Staging Your Boston Home to Sell!

When you’re thinking about selling your home, it’s important to look at the space through the eyes of a potential buyer. At one point, specific features made you fall in love with your home. Now it’s time for you to think about the things that stood out to you most as a buyer and help those parts of your home shine during the staging process.

As your Boston real estate agent, I know what homebuyers are looking for, and am always willing to step in as a resource with a fresh perspective. Follow these tips for staging your home you’ll stir up some major competition in the Boston real estate market in no time.

Freshen up dated kitchen cabinets

Rather than replacing your dated kitchen cabinets, apply a fresh coat of stain to the wood, working with the grain. Install some new hardware and you’ve given your cabinets a facelift for a fraction of the cost.

Splurge for new kitchen appliances

Now that you’ve freshened up those old cabinets, get rid of any old kitchen appliances that stick out like a sore thumb. Studies show that sellers get a high return on their investment by installing new appliances, so get shopping!

Neutralize the master bedroom suite
Avoid overly feminine or masculine themes in the master bedroom suite to appeal to all potential buyers. A neutral palate is the best way to go to from the wall color down to the bedding and accessories.

Stage rooms with a specific purpose

Do you have a room in your home that’s a combination of a guest suite, craft area, and play room? When staging your home, give that room a specific purpose to prevent buyers from becoming distracted or confused. Clear out the clutter and stage the room as a home office.

Show off that storage space

Storage space is a key feature homebuyers are looking for as they scour the Boston real estate market for the perfect property. It’s inevitable that they are going to open your closets, so clear out clutter and organize the shelves to show how much storage space you actually have.

Homebuyers are out in full force this spring trying to find the perfect home in Boston before summer hits. If you’re planning to sell and have questions about the process or would like additional tips on staging your home, please contact me!
