You want potential buyers to look at your home and be able to envision themselves living there, but how do you draw these buyers into your home? With impressive curb appeal. This is where the home staging process begins. By following a few important staging tips, you will be prepared to "wow" potential buyers and create an unforgettable first impression. 
1.       Begin with your front yard. It should be inviting and clean. A good wash or fresh stain to the exterior of your home will present a fresh clean look.

2.       Your lawns, shrubs and trees should be trimmed and flower beds and pots weeded so as not to take away from the exterior view of your home.
With a well groomed exterior and front yard, buyers will want to continue inside your home. Now that you have attracted a buyer into your home, first impressions don't stop there. A buyer will know within minutes of stepping foot into your home if they want to take a thorough look through the home.
A few things to consider when staging the interior of your home include the following:
3.       Keep your home clean and free of clutter

4.       Limit the "personalization" in your home by removing any collections, knick-knacks and family photographs.

5.       Eliminate any strong scents that may be in your home (i.e. pet odors, candle scents, cigarette smells, etc.) A fresh coat of paint could help freshen and clean-up a room.

6.       Some rooms in your home may appear small to some buyers so you may want consider removing extra furniture in a room to give the illusion of more space. The same effect can be achieved by eliminating clutter from closets.
