The first stop on the home staging checklist is to make a good impression. Start in a room and take a slow look around.

Do the Repairs

The next part of the home staging checklist includes doing the repairs. This may be the hardest part to get motivated to do, but it’s worth it! Do your best to accomplish DIY tasks. Eliminate the home staging services and save the harder tasks for a handyman.

• Use Mr. Clean eraser to eliminate stains on the wall, stairs, sinks, tubs, etc
• Paint walls and touch up scratches
• Replace bad lights in light fixtures
• Replace personal photos with discounted artwork

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.
