Top 10 home staging ideas
For many homeowners, the concept of professional home staging is shedding new light on how to promote a home in their real estate marketplace. If you’re thinking of selling your home, I can offer suggestions on the best ways to organize your property before I put up the “For Sale” sign. Following are some tips that may help you sell your home faster and at a higher price.
Make an impression. Prospective buyers make up their minds about your house even before they get out of the car. To ensure they have the right idea, clean up your yard, get rid of unsightly weeds, and sweep your driveway and porches. Get out the rags and cleanser and spend 30 minutes scouring your front door, porch, railings and steps. Then tuck away all your recycling cans and bins at the back of the house or in a corner of the garage.
Unclutter. A common phrase used to describe the importance of uncluttering is: Clutter eats equity. So purge your closets, empty cupboards and box up small appliances. You may even want to rent a storage locker to keep items you simply cannot part with, while throwing out items you’ve collected over the years that you do not want to take with you to your next home. This will also save you time when it’s time for your big move. Ensure you pay close attention to your countertops and coffee tables as well.
Impersonal works. You want buyers to imagine themselves living in your home, so stash anything connected to your family or personal interests. Hide your son’s hockey trophies, store family photos and remove all traces of day-to-day life. This also includes removing personal effects from the bathrooms.
Keep it fresh. There’s nothing worse than stepping into a house that smells of smoke, dampness or pet odours. The easy solution is to keep your windows open for 10 minutes a day. This strategy works better than deodorizers since a lot of people have allergies to artificial room fresheners. The oldest trick of all? Leave chocolate chip cookies baking in the oven. Yes, it’s hokey, but the smell does do wonders to help buyers bond with your home.
Declare war on grime. Cleanliness helps put a buyer’s mind at ease since it suggests that you’ve probably taken good care of your residence in other ways as well. So clean everything: walls, door handles, light fixtures and pantry cupboards. And don’t forget to dust your furnace room and furnace, since this makes your furnace look newer. Power washing windows, walkways, eavestroughs and pathways can also do wonders for your home’s exterior.
Hire a handyman. If you don’t have the time or expertise to deal with the aesthetics of your home, consider hiring a professional. Dripping faucets, cracked tiles and mouldy caulking around the bathtub can knock thousands of dollars off the price of your home.
Colour it up. Your single best investment may be a fresh coat of paint in key areas of your home. Try painting your front door and placing some urns with brightly coloured flowers on your front step or just inside the entryway. Remember that small touches can make a house seem cared for and important.
Reduce furniture. An easy way to create a sense of space is to get rid of some furniture. Moving a sofa and end tables into storage can give a small room some much-needed breathing space. If your furniture dates from the Mulroney era, consider packing it away and renting or borrowing some modern, stylish furniture or a couple of well-chosen pieces of wall art. Keep your rooms clean and simple like a hotel room or the showroom for a new house.
Lighten up. The brighter and sunnier a space, the easier it is to sell. If you don’t have the time or energy to clean all of your windows – inside and out – it may be a wise investment to hire a professional window-cleaning company. Thoroughly clean the shades on your light fixtures, change light bulbs and add floor lamps if an area seems dim. Finally, when it comes time to show your home, make sure all the lights are on, especially in hallways.
Add a touch of humanity. A couple of planters on your front porch, a vase of flowers on your dining room table, or even a simple rose in a vase can warm up a room. Candles can also do wonders in lighting and warming a room.

Moving Calendar
What's the best way to prepare for a move?
Four weeks before moving
Decide what you want to take, what you want to throw out, and what you want to donate to charity or sell.
Start using up frozen food and staples. Don't buy any more than is necessary before moving.
Start planning your trip. Make airline reservations. Book hotels and rental cars.
Arrange for important school, medical, financial, and legal records to be transferred.
Three weeks before moving
Arrange to have your pets transported or boarded. Start preparing your plants for the move.
Get back any items you have lent (and give back any items you have borrowed). Pick up any items that are being repaired.
Dispose of flammable items such as paint, aerosol cans, and cleaning fluids.
Send change of address information to the post office and other businesses.
Two weeks before moving
Schedule a date for a service firm to disconnect and prepare the appliances you are moving.
Start packing non-essential items.
Arrange for a babysitter for moving day.
Start planning to disconnect utilities.
Draw up a floor plan for your new home and start planning your furniture arrangement. (It makes moving in twice as easy.)
One week before moving
Finish packing suitcases and basic essentials. Make sure valuable documents, currency, and jewellery are in a safe and easily accessible place.
Drain garden hoses, lawn mowers, and other machinery.
Defrost and dry the fridge and freezer. Don't forget to empty the defrost water pan.
Take down items such as curtain rods, shelves, light fixtures, and mirrors that you are taking with you.
Dismantle large power tools, such as lathes and grinders.
Make sure all of your important papers, keys, medications, and plane tickets are available for the trip.
If you are travelling a long distance by car, you may want to have the car serviced.
Packing day
Leave a clear workspace for the packers.
Identify fragile and valuable items, items you are taking with you, and items being left for the new owners.
Moving-out day
Plan to stay home until the moving van has left.
Tour the house with the van operator during inventory. Sign the bill of lading. Confirm your new address and delivery date. Check destination contact phone numbers.
Do a final check for overlooked items. Make certain windows and doors are locked, lights are turned off, utilities are discontinued or turned off, and the keys are transferred.
Moving-in day
Try to get to your new home the day before the moving van arrives. Make sure the utilities are connected. Take another look to see if where you want your furniture to go is correct.
When the mover arrives, check items unloaded against the inventory. Make arrangements for installation of appliances. Confirm unpacking requirements.
