Make Your Home Shine With These Virtual Staging Tips and Tricks

If you’re getting ready to sell your house this year, your home will need to shine from the inside out — and you’ll need to prep it for in-person and online showings with buyers. As you get started, the following tips and tricks will teach you just about everything you need to know about staging and selling a home in 2020.

Preparing Your Home to Sell

If you’re selling a home, the following resources will help you to get your house ready and prepare for what’s to come.

  • Start by decluttering your belongings. You could donate unwanted items to charity or sell them on Craigslist, OfferUp, or Facebook Marketplace.

  • Make a few upgrades and repairs to your home, such as painting the front door and pressure-washing the siding.

  • As an alternative to touring homes, you can show your home virtually through live video-chat tours and 3D walkthroughs.

  • Make sure you’re cleaning and sanitizing your home before and after physical showings with prospective buyers and real estate agents.

Staging Your Home for Virtual Tours

Whether your potential buyers are viewing your home in-person or online, these resources will help you to stage your home in a way that highlights its best features.

  • Optimize your staging efforts by scheduling a phone consultation with Feng Shui expert Yvonne Phillips.

  • Tackle every item on your deep cleaning checklist. A clean home photographs and films much more beautifully.

  • If you’re vacating your home before listing it, you’ll want to use virtual staging tools to showcase the property to buyers.

  • Before filming, you’ll need to clean and depersonalize your home, let in natural light, and find a safe place to put your animal companions and their supplies.

  • An efficient 3D tour will feature everything your buyers want to see, including the dishwasher, microwave, and other appliances.

Additional Resources

Now that you know how to show a home virtually, these resources will answer some of the other questions you may have about selling a house in 2020.

By applying these virtual staging techniques as you show your home, you’ll sell your house faster and stay safe. You can certainly host in-person showings for serious buyers, but these tips will help to keep physical home tours to a minimum.
