home staging
Your home has just ONE opportunity to make a great and lasting FIRST impression. Staging your
home will give you the competitive edge needed in today's market. As potential buyers tour your home for the first time, that first impression
will determine how eager they will be to buy it.
With the popularity of HGTV and DIY network, many home owners are aware of home staging but often don't know where to start on their own. The best way to bring in competitive offers for your luxury real estate in Naples is to start is with the basics:
Deep Clean
First impressions make a big difference. While it may seem quite obvious, a clean home will reveal the true potential and beauty of a property. Start with the exterior to increase curb appeal. You don't want a potential buyer to round the curb and see an unkempt lawn with dried leaves, dead plants and a front door with chipped paint.

De-Clutter
Work your way into each room of the house. Removing clutter is the first order of business. Strip down to the bare essentials. This may mean you'll have to part with some old furniture and face the task of sorting through years of piled up possessions that you never got around to using. Dedication will come in handy at this point.
Pay attention to details. Simple things like making up beds and keeping the hallway clear of 'life' can mean the difference between a sale and a fail. It will also offer some kind of assurance to your potential buyer that if the little things are taken care of, then so are the big things. They will trust that the structure of the house was taken care of as much as the facade.
Decorate
You don't have to go crazy buying new furniture for your staging. Identify key areas that need the most sprucing and insert an item or two. It could be as simple as a bud vase or getting new sheets to match the bedroom paint. Picture frames and woven baskets add a 'welcome home' atmosphere and are ideal for temporarily covering imperfections.
