Make sure everything in the house works. Lighting, water, heating, etc. Clean all your appliances. Make sure the carpets are washed and the tiles are free of dirt and grime. Consider getting new countertops or lighting if your current setup isn’t attractive to buyers.
Step #2 – Staging
Staging is the art of making your Durham North Carolina or the Triangle area house appealing to buyers.
The first step is to move everything you own out of the house. If you aren’t living in your new house yet, rent a small unit in a storage facility to put all your belongings temporarily.
Make sure the garden, kitchen and bathrooms are in tip top condition. Make sure the walls look great. Give it a fresh coat of paint if it looks old instead of new.
Place any furniture so that it highlights the feel of the room. Open curtains and turn on the lights to enhance the lighting feel of the room.
Once your entire house is cleaned inside and outside, proceed to step 3 …
