Minor home repairs can make a not so minor difference when it comes to home staging. Just giving the walls a bit of a touch up with a new coat of paint can really brighten a room. The great thing about minor repairs are that you will be able to do most of them yourself for miniscule amounts of money, and when you do a couple of them, they can completely change the reaction you will get from potential buyers. Just a little extra time and money can make the experience you have of selling your home a lot faster and easier, and much more pleasant.
One thing that can be a turnoff for potential buyers that you can easily fix is the wallpaper. Your best bet would be keep the walls neutral, so, if anything, they will seem like blank canvases. You can easily steam off your wallpaper and paint the walls instead, and this will not cost very much and make a huge difference. Also remember to repair and cracks and cover up any stains in the ceiling. This can go a long way in helping a home feel fresh and new.
As for your exterior, simple repairs can be made pretty easily as well. Planting a couple of flowers if it is a good season for it can make a home look good from the outside. Some new shutters or some touch ups to the porch will create a lasting impression even before the buyer walks into the house. Many potential buyers make their decision before they even walk through the door. Fixing a walkway and touching up on the landscape will make the home seem low maintenance.
Minor home repairs can be as minor as rearranging your furniture. Be sure that there are pads on the legs of your furniture so you do not scratch the floor as you move them. Be sure to do everything you can to make your home seem welcoming as well as neutral so it can be appealing to a wide variety of different potential buyers. Just a few touch ups can bring a home together and make your home sell much more quickly.
