One way to make your home selling process easy is by making it irresistible. Once your home is in good working order, it’s time to set the stage and show off its best features.

Hi, I’m Isabel Guzman Realtor with EXP realty and I am constantly working to enhance my marketing capabilities to present your home in the best light possible and to the masses. Making your home irresistible starts with a deep cleaning.

Here are some ways to make your house look great.

• Scrub every surface until it sparkles. We can’t emphasize this enough! You need to clean your home and keep it clean during showings.

• Apply a fresh coat of paint. Paint is relatively cheap considering the impact it has on making a home look fresh and inviting.

• Pay a pro to deep clean rugs and carpets and don't forget to

• Minimize clutter to maximize space.

Once you have a clean home, you can begin to stage. Keep your colors neutral and try to depersonalize as much as possible.

Take down most of your family photos so buyers can picture their families enjoying your house. Closets can be a big deal to home buyers, when possible, create the impression of spaciousness by storing away out-of-season clothing and miscellaneous gear.

Don’t forget to stage outdoors . Clean your front porch and place nice planters near your entryway. If you have a deck, pressure wash it and add a few colorful plants to give the space an extra pop.

Now let’s talk about making sure to prep your home to be show-ready and camera-ready. Professional photos that show off your home’s features are an essential part of your online listing. Your agent should help coordinate the photo shoot, so that’s less pressure for you.

Here are a few ADDITIONAL staging tips to get your home ready for its glamour shot:

• There’s a place for everything, and everything needs to be in its place. Again, a tidy home is nonnegotiable.

• Channel your inner Mr. Clean or Snow White and whistle while you work if you have to—just clean up the place.

• Pick up the toys and pet stuff. Babies and puppies sell breakfast cereal, but not homes. Keep the kid clutter and pet supplies under wraps.

• Add extra touches, a pair of colorful pillows or a few green plants will add color and life to any room.

• Clear the counters. Throw your juicer and kale smoothie maker into the kitchen cabinet. The same goes for your bathrooms. Pitch those personal items in a drawer to keep them out of sight.

• Shine a light for all to see. Bright rooms make your home look bigger. Throw back the curtains, pull up the blinds, and let the sunshine in but remember to wash your windows first!

• Go easy on the rugs. Rugs generally don’t photograph well and can make your space look smaller. Your agent can help you decide which rugs can stay and which ones should go and lastly;

• Put a lid on it. Your toilet, that is. Friends don’t let friends leave the lid up during a nice photo shoot.

Keep in mind, staging should accentuate the positives of your house without overwhelming potential buyers. The right real estate agent can help you know the difference between good and gaudy staging.

These tips are sure to help getting your home sold quick and for the most amount of money.
