Some sellers often ask the question, “Do I really need to worry about the bathrooms when listing my home for sale? I can just clean it up a bit, right?”
Let’s take these questions one at a time. Yes, you do need to worry about bathroom design and staging when selling your home. Cleaning the bathrooms is the first step to preparing them for buyers, but you should not stop there.
If you’ve ever watched one of those home remodeling or design shows on television, you probably heard somebody use the phrase “kitchens and baths” in conjunction with selling a home. That’s because real estate professionals know that these areas contribute a lot to a home’s value. A well designed bathroom will also increase the home’s appeal in the eyes of buyers.
In other words, bathrooms are a big selling point for home buyers, and they therefore deserve your attention. So yes, bathroom design is an important part of home staging and selling.
If you plan to sell your home in the near future, you need to design and stage the bathrooms accordingly. We’ve covered that. So where do you begin?
Your plan-of-attack for the bathrooms can be summed up in two words — cleaning and updating. The clean part is obvious, but giving your bathroom a modern look is also very important. After all, the last thing home buyers want to see when viewing your home is that the bathrooms need updating.
So your plan for bathroom design and staging is to clean everything and update items as needed. Let’s turn this into a motto. Your motto is “clean, bright and modern.” Keep this in mind when developing your bathroom design ideas and when staging the space for potential buyers. Repeat after me … clean, bright and modern!
Of course, if you add “luxurious” onto that motto, you’ll score extra points with home buyers. Clean, bright and modern are a must. Luxurious will help even more. Those are the keys to staging a bathroom for a quick home sale.
Here are some specific tips for carrying your home-staging efforts into the bathrooms of your house.
Remember, when potential buyers tour your home their agents will probably be whispering “kitchens and baths” in their ears. So when staging your home to sell put some extra effort into those bathrooms. Your motto is clean, bright and luxurious.
