First Time Buyers, click here for your free 2008 Home Buying Guide! Home Staging: Home staging is an area that can make or break a sale. I have personally helped clients stage their homes and made additional updating recommendations that turned "frogs" into "princes", resulting in sales of homes that previously sat on the market for months with other Realtors. Listed below are a few tips to help you get on the path to a better presentation. For a full scale staging consultation, please contact me directly at 763.257.9249. I will schedule a convenient time to visit with you and make a list of recommendations. INSIDE: 1. Clear all unnecessary objects from furniture throughout the house. Keep decorative objects on the furniture restricted to groups of 1, 3, or 5 items. 2. Clear all unnecessary objects from the kitchen counter tops. If it hasn't been used for three months... put it away! Clear refrigerator fronts of messages, magnets and pictures. Less is definitely more! 3. In the bathroom, remove any unnecessary items from counter tops, tubs, shower stalls and commode tops. Keep only your most needed cosmetics, brushes, perfumes etc., in one small group on the counter. Coordinate towels to one or two colors only. 4. Rearrange or remove some of the furniture if necessary. As owners, many times we have too much furniture in a room. This is wonderful for our own personal enjoyment, but when it comes to selling we need to thin out as much as possible to make rooms appear larger. 5. Take down or rearrange certain pictures or objects on walls. Patch and paint if necessary. 6. Review the inside of the house room by room, and, if necessary: - - 7. If you need room to store extra possessions use the garage or rent a storage unit. 8. Leave on certain lights during the day. During "showings" turn on all lights and lamps. 9. Have soft background music playing for all showings to help create a soothing environment. Some freshly baked goods make it even more homey! Believe me, it's worth the trouble. Besides, when was having some fresh baked goods in the house a bad thing? 10. Clean, clean and clean again. Most people can't live in a spotless environment all the time. This can be one of the more stressful aspects of having your home on the market— but it's worth the effort to sell your home for top dollar. You can hire a professional service to come in and deep clean everything; then take 20-30 minutes each day to maintain it. Don't neglect hallways. They lead potential buyers through your home and should be bright and clutter free. Remember you're trying to maximize the feeling of space in your home! Appliances should sparkle even if you're not including them with the house. After all, you might throw them in later as a negotiating tool.
