If you are ready to sell your home, you will want to stage it for open houses and listing photos. You want your Brazos Valley home to look and smell like new to ensure you will get bids coming in. Staging can get expensive, but there are many things you can do on a budget as well. You do not have to go out and spend thousands of dollars on high end furniture and decorations. Below are several budget saving staging tips that will have your home looking buyer ready.

Cleaning and Deodorizing

A really deep cleaning can make all the difference. If a potential buyer sees dirt and grime during a walk through, they will be less likely to want to make an offer. In addition, taking steps to deodorize your home will also go a long way to get bids. If a buyer smells pets, smoke, or food odors, it will be harder for them to visualize themselves living there.

Pack Up Your Memories

This again is to help your potential buyers see themselves making memories in your house. If they look around and see a lot of your memories, it will be easier for them to move on to the next house available on the market. Therefore, pack up all your family photos, trinkets, and so on.

Improve The Curb Appeal

Don't forget about the outside of your house. Central Texas has harsh summer temperatures, so be sure you are regularly watering your lawn. You should also mow your yard, as well as weed your flower beds. If you have any dead shrubs remove them. If you have the budget for it, do a little touch up painting where needed.

These are just a few things you can do on a budget to transform your house and get it ready for buyers. Staging does not have to cost you an arm and a leg. Along with the above, you can also minimize your furniture and arrange it for flow. All of these tips will help you sellyour home quicker than if you did not stage your home at all.
