After Angela took a course and earned accreditation, Staging Homes has been in business for seven years. She’d been staging homes for twenty years. Her business is based in Castle Rock and serves surrounding areas as well. Here’s her advice:

• Neutralize the colors. When selling a home, neutrals will always be preferred. Bright colors can be distracting for buyers, and a buyer might not like them as much.
• Remove all clutter. Get rid of the life stuff, including all the homework your kids have and magnets on the refrigerator.
• Make your home easy to navigate. It should be nearly effortless to walk through your home without bumping into furniture. The “squeeze factor” refers to leaving at least three feet between furniture paths.
• Bring in some style. For instance, if your bed doesn’t have a headboard, consider adding new blankets, throws, decorative pillows, or artwork. Many of these items can be repurposed from other rooms in your home. When you work with me, I have four blankets you can choose from to use inside your staged home!
• Keep it clean. Cleanliness is a big deal. Cleaning your windows makes a huge difference, because they will look brand new. Additionally, Bonda sells a Hardwood High Gloss Floor Polish that does wonders! It will make your hardwood floors shine.

Staging your home is also a marketing strategy. Remember these quick tips when preparing your home for sale! If you’re thinking about buying or selling a home in the surrounding Denver area, give me a call or email today. I’d be happy to serve your needs and connect you with Angela’s business!
