The Ultimate Guide to Prepping Your Home for a Stage

Ready to jazz up your home and get it ready for a professional stager? Buckle up for an adventure that turns your space into a buyer’s dream. From sparking appliances to cozy beds, we’re diving into the nitty-gritty. Let’s make your home a canvas that screams, “Buy me!”—because selling your house has never been this fun. Grab a mop and let’s get this pre-staging party started!

Step 1: Sparkling Appliances │ Start by giving all your appliances a thorough clean. Wipe down the fridge, stove-top/oven, microwave, dishwasher, and the trusty washer/dryer. A gleaming kitchen sets the stage for a show-stopping transformation.

Step 2: Floor-Focused TLC │ Show your floors some love. Sweep or vacuum to banish dust bunnies, then roll up your sleeves for a good wash. Clean floors create a pristine foundation for the stager’s creative touch.

Step 3: Dreamy Beds and Linens │ Transform bedrooms into cozy retreats. Clean all bed linens, including sheets, comforters/duvets, and pillow covers. A fresh bed not only looks inviting but also sets the scene for a buyer to imagine themselves lounging in comfort.

Step 4: Tidy the Sentimental Spaces │ Declutter and depersonalize living spaces. Tuck away family photos and sentimental items. Give these spaces a tidy makeover to allow potential buyers to envision their own story in the home.

Step 5: Crystal-Clear Glass Surfaces │ Let the light shine through crystal-clear glass. Clean windows, mirrors, glass doors, and glass shower panels throughout the house. A transparent view enhances the overall appeal of your home.

Step 6: Countertops and High-Touch Surfaces │ Focus on the nitty-gritty of high-traffic areas. Clean countertops in the kitchen and bathrooms, paying attention to high-touch surfaces like kitchen counters, bathroom counters, toilets, and bathtubs/showers. It’s all about creating a spotless canvas for the stager.

Step 7: Pet-Friendly Prep │ For pet owners, it’s time for a deep clean. Target areas that tend to collect pet hair, such as on and under couches, and beneath other furniture. A pet-hair-free space ensures that potential buyers focus on the features of your home, not Fido’s fur.

By following these detailed steps, you’re laying the groundwork for a seamless collaboration with your stager. A well-prepped home not only showcases its full potential but also makes the stager’s job easier, ensuring your space is ready to charm potential buyers. Get ready to see your home in a whole new light!
