Even with the real estate market improving, homeowners are in a competitive market and it can be difficult to make a quick sale, so there is added importance in creating an appealing atmosphere for potential buyers.<\/p>\n

‘You can\u2019t be too tidy or too well-scrubbed,’\u00a0says Cathy Mansour,\u00a0an interior designer and director at Aqua Hospitality Carpets.

\nCleaning the home is a simple answer and a house can look good enough to showcase right after a good cleaning, but by following these steps your home will make a great impression with prospective buyers.<\/p>\n

1) Start by eliminating all clutter.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Not only does it make your home look unorganized, clutter also makes it look much smaller. Pack away papers, knickknacks, excessive photography or decor, and extra furniture.<\/p>\n

Uncluttered rooms highlight the space and personality of a home, so buyers take notice of these attributes rather than the cluster of family photos or stack of magazines on the coffee table.<\/p>\n

2) Assess, clean flooring<\/strong><\/p>\n

More buyers desire carpet because it is comfortable, reduces noise and improves indoor air quality. And it benefits sellers to highlight this feature, especially after a professional cleaning.<\/p>\n

\u201cCarpet is warm and inviting in a family room<\/em>,\u201d says Karen Dembsky, owner of Peachtree Home Staging and president of the Georgia Real Estate Staging Association.<\/p>\n

The Carpet and Rug Institute (CRI) recommends hiring only reputable carpet-cleaning professionals who will use effective cleaning solutions and equipment to do the best job possible. Visit\u00a0our website to find cleaning professionals who use CRI-certified carpet cleaning products as part of their cleaning process<\/a>.<\/p>\n

3) Let there be light<\/strong><\/p>\n

Once your home is clean and clutter-free, it\u2019s time to let in the light. Pull back drapery, turn on the hallway sconces and update wattages on dim bulbs. About 100 watts per 50 square feet is a good target. Be sure to update any older lampshades or lighting hardware to reflect a more modern style.<\/p>\n

4) Fresh Paint<\/strong><\/p>\n

Once you let in all that wonderful light, some walls may look dated. A fresh coat of paint can liven up a room and make it look modern and clean. Focus on rooms where walls are dirty, damaged or feature a dated color to give your entire interior design a facelift.<\/p>\n

It is best to stick with neutrals like warm honey or soft green so potential buyers can easily envision their own furniture and decor in the space.<\/p>\n

5) Scent plays a huge role<\/strong><\/p>\n

Finally, remember sight isn\u2019t the only sense you want to stimulate when it comes to selling a home. How your house smells can make it appealing or distasteful to potential buyers.<\/p>\n

Because it\u2019s difficult to distinguish different scents in our own homes, invite a few guests over to give their honest opinions. A deep cleaning of any textiles as well as a few fresh flowers should do the trick.<\/p>\n

By following these five simple tips you\u2019ll be reviewing bids and moving forward on the sale of your home before you know it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
