Studies show that over 80% of people who view Laguna Beach homes have already seen pictures in the listings. This means that for the most part, a walk-through is more like a check. When buyers come to see your property, they are actually asking: is your Laguna Beach home every bit as tempting as it looks on the MLS? To make sure they get the answers they want, you need to properly stage your home. Below are some tips and tricks from professional home staging experts.

Curb appeal
Take a fresh look at your Laguna Beach home from across the street. Does it look warm and welcoming? If you were a buyer, would you want to come in and have a closer look? Make sure the path to your front door is clear and visible. Get rid of old bikes and lawn mowers, and place a few colorful plants to greet visitors as they enter.

Free up your space
Think of de-cluttering as preliminary packing for when you move out. Put away things you haven’t used in a year—consider having a garage sale or donating them to charity. Keep only what you need until moving day, and what you need to make the house look nice. This frees up a lot of floor space and makes the place look much roomier.

Floors and windows are the main elements of home design.
