How Stage A House for A Quick Sale

Need to sell your home fast? Here are some tips on how to stage your property in Malta or Gozo quickly with Priority by RE/MAX

Are you amazed nobody seems interested to buy your property in Malta or Gozo? Perhaps this attitude indicates that you should start looking at your house from the viewers’ perspective. Thanks to this guide, here are some tips on how to prepare your home for sale and sell it in less than 90 days with Priority by RE/MAX. 

Exterior impressions count

First impressions count. That is why the exterior of your home, before selling your property on the property market is vital for a quick sale. Go outside, right across the street and look carefully at your home’s exterior. Does your property for sale look clean and welcoming? Are your house viewers getting a good impression of what awaits inside?

Interior home staging

Like the exterior, the interior home design also counts. Walk inside. Does it smell of eggs and bacon, yesterday’s leftovers, cigarette ash and cats? Are the walls begging for a whitewash, are the curtains hanging off odd hooks and looking old? Does the sofa look like a ton of bricks sat in it? Does it have gnawed corners? Is the carpet frayed and sitting awry on the floor?

Continue with this soul-searching exercise by walking around your home, going through the kitchen, bathroom/s, bedroom/s, washroom garden, etc. If you’ve been careless about your property in Malta, chances are your potential buyers of your property viewing your home feel this too and you will need to do something to change a nasty first impression if you want to get a sale any time soon. 

Home staging process

Home staging process

If you want to sell your property quickly, you will need to invest a little time, energy and money in re-ordering the house. If you haven’t time or energy to spring-clean, hire a cleaning company or a staging expert to do the job for you. Here are some tips about the process of correctly staging your home in an attempt to sell it on the local property market. 

  • Give the facade a whitewash, clean the front garden of weeds, and if it’s just potted plants you have, make sure they look thriving. Buy new ones and if you haven’t any, get them anyway to liven up the works.
  • Wash that front door down or give the old wood some polish. Even a polished and shiny brass knocker makes a difference.
  • Revamp the letter box and get a new door mat.
  • Air the house.
  • Remove clutter, throw out old magazines, put away dirty shoes.
  • Wash and iron curtains before hanging them up properly. If they are old and dreary, buy cheap new ones just to refresh the feel of your rooms.
  • Get new covers for the cushions.
  • Re-organise books on shelves.
  • Move furniture around to make more space.
  • Add vases of fresh flowers and use air freshening gadgets.
  • Check that chandeliers have working light bulbs.
  • On visiting day make sure bathrooms are clean and towels are nice and crisp-looking.
  • Don’t cook pungent foods and avoid fries, fish, onions or burnt toast. Instead make buttery toast (not the burnt version), a pie or a stew – people love homely smells which make them feel welcome.
  • Avoid having loud music/TV while people visit.

You’ll be amazed at what a little investment can do for the potential sale of your property in Malta.  Your property will immediately attract more interest from your real estate agent providing you a better chance to bring in more buyers to your door.……unless of course you fall in love with the house again and decide to keep it!

Home staging services

For more info about staging your home consult with a reputable real estate agent in Malta, or you may choose to list your property as an Exclusive Added Value listing with Priority by RE/MAX, where you may utilise the services of the only Professionally accredited Home stager in Malta, Mrs Fiona Caruana Carabez.
