So you are considering selling your lake home. It may be scary in these tough economic times and you may need to consider staging your lake home to make your home more appealing and to get the price you desire. Staging your home is the act of arranging your home in a manner that is appealing to potential buyers.

To be really effective, you should look at both the interior and the exterior of your lake home. Here are three tips to get you started with the interior of your lake home:

1. Organize your home. Organizing your home is probably the most important thing you can do. You are planning to move anyway, so why not go ahead and remove the things that you do not need on a daily basis. Remove seasonal clothing, dishes, furniture, and other items that you can live without. This will open the rooms and make them appear larger. These items can be stored in a garage or detached storage building.

2. Organize your cabinets and closets- After you have packed up the dishes and clothing you don’t have to have right now, coordinate your remaining dishes and clothing by color and type. Why you ask? Organized cabinets and closets appear larger. Spacious closets and cabinets really help sell a home.

3. Create a show model lake home. After you are done packing up your personal belongings, you can hang pictures of boats or other lake pictures in place of your personal photos. You can also place decorative items like boat ores, signs, and plants in corners or shelves. Place some decorated canisters or fruit in some attractive baskets or glass vases in stead of counter top appliances that you don’t need.

First impressions are important. Imagine yourself as a potential buyer who is seeing your lake home for the first time. What would you change? Would you buy your home all over again? Is there something you would change?

And don’t worry about spending a lot of money to get your house ready to sell you’ll recoup it when your house sells. Proper staging helps you sell your house in a shorter period of time and at the price you want.
