Studies show that over 80% of people who view Laguna Beach homes have already seen pictures in the listings. This means that for the most part, a walk-through is more like a check. When buyers come to see your property, they are actually asking: is your Laguna Beach home every bit as tempting as it looks on the MLS? To make sure they get the answers they want, you need to properly stage your home. Below are some tips and tricks from professional home staging experts. Curb appeal Take a fresh look at your Laguna Beach home from across the street. Does it look warm and welcoming? If you were a buyer, would you want to come in and have a closer look? Make sure the path to your front door is clear and visible. Get rid of old bikes and lawn mowers, and place a few colorful plants to greet visitors as they enter. Free up your space Think of de-cluttering as preliminary packing for when you move out. Put away things you haven’t used in a yearâ€"consider having a garage sale or donating them to charity. Keep only what you need until moving day, and what you need to make the house look nice. This frees up a lot of floor space and makes the place look much roomier. Rethink your fixtures Floors and windows are the main elements of home design. Most buyers prefer a Laguna Beach home with finished floors (hardwood and faux wood are the most popular), as they don’t have to spend on it themselves. Well-placed windows are also a big plus. Draw attention to them with stylish curtains or creative paneling. Make it neutral Your personal tastes will have to take a backseat while you’re trying to sell. Think of it as just your average Laguna Beach homeâ€"no personal touches, family photos, those little quirks that make it your own. A buyer imagines himself in your space, his photos on your walls, his books on your shelvesâ€"so make it easy for them by depersonalizing. Find a focal point Most homes have something that sets them apart: a cozy alcove, a sloped ceiling, a large window with a view. Find out what you can use as a focal point in every room, and design the rest of the space around it. This is what gives character to your Laguna Beach home and makes it feel like more than just a living space.
