Author: Staging Tips for Hinsdale Area Real Estate Sellers
Whether you live in Hinsdale or almost anywhere in the Chicago area staging is a word you should know.
Staging, staging, staging…we are through the holidays and now is the time to clean out, de-clutter, rearrange and spiff up in preparation for a spring listing market.
After curb appeal, staging is the single most important factor in getting buyers into your home. Almost 100% of potential buyers begin their search online and will rule a home in or out by the photos. It should be evident the purpose of every room when visiting a home.
Walking into a freshly painted and uncluttered home will automatically create a positive vibe with buyers. Listen to your Realtor and de-personalize your home as much as possible. Remove family photos, memorabilia and anything that depicts your individual tastes that would distract a buyer’s attention. A must is removing any type of personalized murals or wall coverings.

- De-clutter and CLEAN
- Stage properly by removing extra furniture and optimize the space
- Paint is the most effective way to say “fresh and new” and well-maintained
- Curb appeal….you must get them into the house first…the outside indicates how well the home has been cared for
- Price appropriately (this is probably #one).
Do not “chase” the market by starting high and thinking you can always come down. You waste time, energy and create stress. Listen to your Realtor and look at comparable sold properties….you will not get more than they did!!!!!!
