Staging Your Home Like a Pro
When selling a home at the Lake of the Ozarks, staging the home to show off its full potential to buyers is a MUST! By doing this, you'll highlight your home's strengths and downstage it's weaknesses - thus appealing to a greater number of potential buyers. eXp Realty has some helpful tips on how to stage your home like a pro:
Create eye pleasing displays throughout your home. Display paintings and pictures creatively throughout your home by varying the patterning and grouping, instead of hanging them in stereotypical lines. Mix and match accessories on your coffee table and shelving to draw the eye and make a room more inviting. And don't be afraid to bring a little of the outdoors inside by picking fresh flowers from your garden and displaying them in a simple vase in your dining room or guest bedroom.
Take the time to give your cabinet doors a good deep clean. Sometimes you just don't realize the dirt, food, and grime buildup that accumulates on your cabinet doors after time. A quick way to give them a fresh new look is to give them a little TLC. If cleaning them just won't cut it for you, perhaps revamping them will. You don't have to spend tons of money replacing your cabinets to get a fresh new look. Instead, try a fresh coat of paint, or sand the doors down and stain them. Another trick to upgrade your cabinetry is to replace the hardware. This is an inexpensive way to give your cabinetry a new look.
Now that you've got these great staging tips to get your home noticed, it's time to get started on creating a home stage that will have buyers putting your home at the top of their list!

Furnish Your Space
A common misconception that many homeowners tend to follow when furnishing their home is that by pushing furniture against walls they're making the room feel larger and creates better functionality. Actually, by doing so you're taking away from the room's potential. When staging rooms, you need to consider the function of the room. What purpose does it have in your home? For most people, the living room functions as a place of gathering for family and friends. To embrace this function, re-position your furnishings into comfortable conversational groups, and position them away from walls. This will create a more inviting user-friendly space and open the room up.Accessorize Your Home

If you have a room in your home that tends to be the "junk" room or catch-all for those items you don't really know what to do with, it's time to re-purpose that room into something of use. Buyers don't look at a room when viewing a home and think oh this would be a great place to store my junk! So why would you portray it as that? If you have the extra space, show it off in a way that will grab a buyer's attention in a positive way! Turn that unused room into a functional, yet comfortable office space, or create an inviting "work out" room that boasts your love for yoga. You can even create a quiet space for relaxing with a good book. Anything that shows the room's functional possibilities is better than being deemed the useless "junk" room.
