Home Staging Tips from a Pro.

Homeowners: In case you have not caught on, the days of just hanging a lockbox on your door to see your house are over. There are a glut of homes on the market today, and if you need to sell, you need to do everything in your power to help that happen. The easiest and most cost effective thing you can do is clean out your house. Pack, donate or throw out any itemsl you have not used or worn in the past 6 months. Buyers are paying for square footage, not the stuff in your house. The second major thing to do is separate yourself emotionally from your house. The minute you list your property, it is no longer your house. Once these two items have been tackled, call in a professional stager to arrange what is left. To make this happen in the most efficient way, leave your house. Listen to what feedback you get (both positive and negative) about your house. The stager has no vested interest in your house, just the end result of selling your house. By using a professional stager, you will get great end results. Remember as with anything in life, you get what you pay for. Get multiple bids, ask to see a website or previous completed jobs and ask for referrals.
