Maximise your profit potential spend a little to make alot!

Getting ready to sell? Move your property fast  and for the highest selling price possible  with these easy, affordable staging tricks. These
deal-sealing changes will make your home attractive to the largest pool of potential buyers, and the best part is, you can start at any stage in
 the game. Who knows  you may love your home's new look so much that you decide not to list after all!

1 Paint!

Dollar for dollar, a fresh coat of paint gives you more bang for your decorating buck than anything else. Even if your current palette is relatively new,
 any scuffs or wear marks will channel an unkempt vibe. And an unusual colour choice  even if the height of fashion  may limit your home's appeal.
So break out that roller and slap on a couple coats of crowd-pleasing warm white or sand paint.

2 Improve the lighting
Replace any dated light fixtures ASAP. How can you tell if it has to go? If it's over 15 years old and looks it  yet isn't a vintage (50-75 years old) or antique piece (older)  it should probably go. Retro is not something most homebuyers are looking for. You don't need to break the bank, just head
 to IKEA or Canadian Tire.

3 De-clutter
Take the collectibles off the mantel, put the mismatched armchair into storage (or better yet, donate it) and pare your closets down to what you're
 actually wearing this season, packing away the rest. Ideally, all this extra stuff would head to charity (if in good, saleable condition), the garbage
 dump, or into storage. The more you store onsite, the more cluttered and small your home appears.

4 Give dated bathrooms a facelift
A nice bath helps sell a house but, don't invest in a total renovation. Renos are costly, and you won't recoup your costs unless you find your exact
 d'cor doppelganger. Bring an out-of-date bath up to speed with gleaming white walls whether via a fresh coat of white bath and kitchen paint or
ceramic tile and new lighting (Home Depot excels at affordable, stylish bathroom vanity lighting). Buy neutral new shower curtains, a simple new
 bath mat and vanity set, and have fresh flowers in the room during open houses.



5 Take down curtains

Dated window treatments need to come down, pronto (if it's over 10 years old, get rid of it). If privacy isn't an issue, just leave the windows bare
 to maximize natural light and make the room's dimensions seem more generous. Otherwise, buy basic-issue cotton or linen drapes  from Linens
 N Things or another well-priced retailer. Always tie drapes back during viewings and open houses.
