The garage is a valuable addition to any home and is actually treated as a major priority for many prospective home buyers. Keeping the garage clean, neat, organized and aesthetic can mean the difference between landing a terrific offer and having yet another buyer move on the see the next residence on their list…Garage Staging Strategies
Home staging
a garage is not difficult, nor does it need to be expensive. Unlike much of the rest of the
interior
of a home, garages do not typically require costly fixtures or fancy
décor.
In fact, keeping the design of a garage extremely simple and efficient is preferred by staging experts the world over. The functionality of the space is crucial and buyers consistently cite storage, space and usefulness as the main criteria used to rate any garage. To accomplish effective staging for a garage typically only requires sweat equity and some well planned
DIY staging
efforts.
Garage Staging TipsHere are some of my favorite home staging tips which are applicable to garage spaces:* Remove all of the JUNK and organize what is left. Decluttering the space will make a huge difference. Throw away those rusty old garden tools and all that stuff which was there when you bought the house… * Make sure the interior
lighting
is in good repair and that all electrical outlets are covered and functional. * Tear out old wooden shelves and benches which are in poor condition. Replace with plastic, resin or composite shelving and cabinets made for garage spaces. These high tech and virtually indestructible materials are not expensive, but will add tremendous equity to the space. * Make sure to remove spider webs and any bugs from the space. * Insure that the garage doors work well and look nice. Replacing the doors, or at least repainting them, can make a real difference to the curb appeal of the home. * If the garage has a loft area for storage, be sure that it is easily and safely accessible and well organized, including lighting. Garage Staging AdviceThe garage is a nice and highly marketable add-on for any property. Large garages are especially beneficial, sine they can provide shelter for multiple vehicles, additional workspace and possibly even dedicated storage. Cleaning, paining and organizing any garage can make it 100% more appealing to any potential buyer, for no significant investment of money and only a few hours labor. There are few other interior staging solutions which work so well for so little investment of time and effort!To learn more about staging your garage to sell, contact a qualified
