Staging

When you decide to sell your home, staging the property can have a huge impact on how quickly your home sells, as well as the amount of the offer. I have found from experience that the activity level during the first two weeks a home is on the market tends to predict how long it will take to sell. Potential buyers eagerly jump on new homes on the market, especially when they are in “show shape.”

Here are some “staging” tips you might find helpful:

• Keep your home in “show shape.” Make sure that beds are made, dishes are done, everything is picked up, and the kitchen and bathrooms sparkle.
  
• Decorate with fresh flowers. Many home sellers use potted flowering plants that last much longer than cut flowers. Place them inside and out. They really add cheer!
  
• Turn on lights; replace all burned-out bulbs. Open blinds and draperies. Let the natural light in.
  
• Confine pets and keep them out of sight when possible. They can be distracting, and some people have allergies.
  
• Create a relaxed atmosphere with soft background music.

If you have any questions or want any suggestions on preparing your home for sale, please don't hesitate to call or email me.
