In an ideal world you’d be selling your house after you’ve moved out. But in the real world you might still live there. Your situation isn’t uncommon, and staging a house while living in it is completely doable, even with kids and pets. The DiMora Team are real estate experts in the Northville and Novi neighborhoods and we know that if you’re set on not rearranging your home before selling, you could sell directly to a cash buyer. You won’t make quite as much as you could with a well-staged home and top real estate agent, but you’ll get offers in 48 hours or less. You can even pick the move-out date if you accept an offer. While it is ok to still live in your house, there’s also still some moving out that needs to happen. The best way to stage your home is to start by changing your mindset. Pretend you’re moving out now, and remove as much stuff as you possibly can. Declutter surfaces, empty drawers and cabinets, and place at least 1/3 of your things in storage. The secret to a successful home stage – pretend your home is already sold and you’re moving out. Check out below to see what sold in Brookstone Village in July 2021:

The best way to start is to set a time for an initial deep-clean of your home, followed by mapping out some smaller cleaning tasks that can be conquered daily thereafter. Figure out which parts of your house are likely to get the dirtiest, and work with family members to make a cleaning schedule that keeps everything in good shape.
