Staging Harrisville

staging Harrisville

As part of the interview process for finding a real estate agent to potentially list the Harrisville house, I asked each of them to walk through the house with me and give me their advice on the best way to 'stage' the house for sale. According to Nina, this can make a big difference in attracting buyers. What follows is a description mostly of what needs to be removed to best present the house. A few things may need to be added, bedspreads, pillows.

Since this weekend will bring many of us here the items that will need to be removed should be claimed this weekend and taken away. At the end of this document is a list of storage places should you like to take something but are unable to take it with you.

photos and knicknacks

All the photos and knicknacks need to be gone in order to show the house.

clutter to be removed

The link is to an album of images of all the clutter that needs to be removed to sell the house

living room

Here the big things to get rid of are the bookshelf (and most all its books) and the desk at the foot of the stairs. On the other side of the room is the built in bookshelf that needs to be pared down to just a few books + the books saved from removed shelf unit. There is a stereo there to be removed.

The three items to go are circled in yellow

family room

The consensus was to get rid of the marked stuff a bunch of stuff in the clutter album and to move mom's desk in front of the that funky built-in to and the heavy piece to where the desk was. The drawing table will stay as part of the staging, perhaps a little to the right side of the sliding glass door with maybe some of those trace drawings displayed as an inspiration for what a good place this would be for creativity and hobbies.

laundry room

All those cabinets.
