Staging your Malibu home for Sale Malibu real estate agents will tell you that trying to sell a house whilst the odds are stacked in the buyer’s favor is a challenge but if you have definitely decided that it’s time to leave the beach behind, then you will need to make your home polish and shine before and while you advertise it for sale. 1. Curb appeal Potential buyers that have seen your property advertised by Malibu Realtors will probably do a quick drive by to check out the house before deciding whether to make an appointment to view. You don’t get a second chance to make a first impression, so if buying a few flowers, mowing the lawn, keeping the weeds under control and power washing your drive way and patio will encourage buyers; surely it makes sense to put the effort in. 2. Deep clean Pretend your mother in law is coming for dinner. Show potential buyers that your lovely home at its very best and has more to offer than views of the ocean. Pay special attention to odors that may have crept into your home without you noticing, carpets and area rugs particularly pick up and retain smells. Potential buyers are also likely to open your closets and cupboards, well ordered contents will send the message that the house has adequate storage. 3. De-clutter Malibu real estate agents know that buyers have come to view your home and not your belongings and will tell you need to make it as easy as possible for them to imagine themselves living in your house. You will have to pack up all your possessions at some point so put away personal photographs, hunting trophies, gadgets and personal collections sooner rather than later and let viewers see what they have come to look at. 4. Light and color Your purple living room is great, you love it, your friends have all told you that they love it but to use a fishing analogy, the wider you cast your net, the greater your chance of landing a catch. Whatever your opinions of neutrally colored walls are, realistically you know that most people would choose them before mauve or lilac. A home that is painted in pale colors will also look bigger and brighter. If needing a fresh coat of paint, consider warmer colors in the kitchen and living rooms and calmer and soothing colors, like blues and light greens in the bedrooms. Keep the drapes and blinds open to let the natural light flood. If you get really stuck, try attending a property open day and look at how light and neutrality are used to optimize the available space. These small and inexpensive changes may make the difference between having to lower your price and receiving several offers. Malibu real estate agents will advise sellers to look at their homes as a buyer would and cast a critical eye over the house, emphasize its strengths and downplay its flaws.
