Melanie Orr Offers Halifax Home Staging Tips

March 5, 2011 - PRLog -- Melanie Orr, owner of Interiors Working for You, is committed to educating homeowners with Halifax home staging tips that will help them when they need to sell their homes.  Melanie recommends consulting a professional but also refers on her blog to a number of ways in which home owners can apply the tips themselves.

Melanie’s first Halifax home staging tips refer to examine both the inside and outside of a property that is to be sold.  “Take a walk towards and through your house, thinking about what the buyer will experience as they make this same approach.”

She goes on to highlight a few “tricks” that will enhance the showing experience for the potential buyer.  “For showings have the toilet seats down, closet and cupboard doors closed.  Turn the lights on in any areas that are dim or to show off great lighting such as pocket lights and under the counter lights.  Ensure personal items are out of sight including photos and toiletries, and all countertops, shelves and table tops cleared off except for decorative pieces that add character.”

Melanie further recommends: “Keep any evidence of pets to a minimum or nonexistent. Many people are afraid of or allergic to animals.  Cleaning, sorting, packing, rearranging and getting things out of the way are no small tasks. They are however excellent strategies for selling. Use this process to get ready for your move. You need to sort and pack anyways.”

“The next step” according to Melanie, “is to showcase the property's best features, while minimizing any concerns, to present it at its best for its most likely buyers.”
