PODS® Local Helps Homeowners Declutter and Stage Homes to Sell Faster

VENTURA, Calif. - Jan. 20, 2025 - PRLog -- Home staging continues to save homeowners time and generate more money from a sale than homes that are not staged. According to a 2023 research survey from The National Association of Realtors®, 20% of sellers' agents reported an increase of 1% to 5% of the dollar value offered by buyers in comparison to similar homes that were not staged. It was also found that home staging can greatly decrease the amount of time a house spends on the market as buyers can better visualize a property as a future home. As staging often requires sellers to remove or significantly reduce the presence of their belongings in a home, PODS® Local offers tips and solutions to help homeowners sell their homes quickly and for higher closing prices.

Clean your home – Hire a professional cleaning service to give your home a proper "deep cleaning". Buyers are looking for a fresh start and want to see the possibility in your home.

Remove your personal items – Family pictures make your house feel like your home. Buyers want it to feel like theirs. Remove overly personal items to help buyers look at your space with clear eyes. If you don't have time to clear out items or furniture, PODS® has an extensive network of local providers and can arrange for the packing and moving assistance you need.

Upgrade your furniture – Over time, furniture can go out of style and end up looking dated and worn. Renting new furniture can help give your home a sleek and modern look. If you decide to do this, you can store all your furnishings in a PODS® container while you're showing your home.

Create a light and airy feel – Open the blinds, let in natural light, and declutter to create a warm, spacious, and open environment that is more inviting to buyers.
