How to Stage Your Home for Sale!

When getting ready to contact your preferred real estate agent are there things you can do to prepare? Yes! Start by de-cluttering. Go through closets and drawers and begin throwing away, donating and selling things you no longer use or need. No matter how many items you get rid of your real estate agent should additionally move things around and take additional items of out rooms and hide them for photos and showings.

This is done to make the home appear larger and give the buyers the ability to view their own things in the home. In this situation LESS is ALWAYS more! Buyers are less likely to put an offer in on a home that they can not envision themselves in. This is why homes that are occupied become harder to market and sale than those homes that are empty and vacant.

Easy Ways to Make Your Home Show Better

• Pressure wash home, driveway and sidewalks

• Remove pictures and TV wall mounts patch and paint after

• Shampoo carpets

• Get rid of items that are not needed or used

• Clean bathrooms

• Mow lawn

• Trim shrubs

• New mulch

Keeping your home neat and clean for showings and through the closing process is a sure way to get top dollar on your investment. Homes that are manicured will not stay on the market as long as a home with long term tenants occupying that left the previous evenings dinner out on the counter from the night before.
