• Have just lamps on nightstands • Remove all hampers • Remove any items (table, hamper, large vase, etc.) from corners of the room. Empty and open corners always open up the space • Remove that ottoman from the bottom of the bed. Generally, these look beautiful and warm, but our goal for the master is always to maximize available space and give the buyers ample room to walk around and picture their own furniture in there • Empty the top of the dressers. Keep the flowers on the tall dresser • WALK-IN CLOSET: Very important selling feature. The best thing you can do to showcase your master walk-in closet is to minimize the items in it to really amplify the available space as well as the layout. Since you’re moving out anyway, the easiest approach is to get a head start on the packing process. Remove and pack away any out-of-season clothes and items you won’t need over the next few months. As with any closet, empty the top shelf and floor! Bathroom The bathroom needs to be magazine worthy. Clean, minimal, and staged goes a long way! This list is the main bathroom staging tips. A clean and organized bathroom can hook a buyer just like a dirty and messy bathroom can turn them away completely. • Tuck away the garbage bin • Remove bathmat for photos • Keep shower curtain open for photos and viewings • Remove all toiletries in the tub area • Remove all toiletries from the sink area. We are going for no real signs of use. No tooth- brushes, used bars of soap, used towels, toi- letries, etc. • Open shower curtain for photos and viewings. This maximizes space and leaves no surprises for buyers • Keep toilet seat cover down always You Did it! Your home is market ready!
