Buyers don’t want to see things like leaky faucets, cracked tiles, or damaged walls. Fixing these things can make a big difference in the appearance of your home and can potentially increase its value.
Depersonalize the Space
When potential buyers come to look at the house, they want to envision themselves living there. This can be difficult if your space is filled with personal items like family photos or memorabilia. Part of the home staging checklist involves depersonalizing the space by removing these items and creating a more neutral, inviting atmosphere.
