Key Points For Staging Your House and Getting It Sold...

1. Staging your home will make your home more marketable. It is an indisputable fact for a faster sale and to maximize your equity. Stagers have a set of specific skills that will best market your home. They will form a team between themselves, the home seller, and your Realtor. Staging is not a luxury item it is an absolute necessity! A staged home will show better than new construction and higher priced homes.

2. Remove ‘YOU' from the sale of your home. When you decide to sell it becomes stressful emotionally and financially. You invest your heart and soul into it to make it your home. Please realize that promoting the sale of your "house" has nothing to do with you or your personal items. If you are able to detach yourself emotionally from your "home" you will make your "house" more marketable and benefit financially from the sale of your "house".

3. Curb appeal is everything. Curb appeal ranks the highest across the country resulting in the most value with every dollar spent! Show that you care what people think when they see your house for the very first time...A buyer will make a decision within the first fifteen minute whether your house is one they would want to bother taking a look at.

4. Find the right broker! Make sure that you choose a solid, reputable real estate company and then proceed with finding the right broker. Ask for referrals from friends.

5. Agree with your Realtor on a fair asking price. Please consider the market analysis of the comparable homes, their locations, their condition and their age.

6. Put great photos on-line. 94% of prospective home buyers will search and find your home on the internet! Professionally staged homes will look better in print and on-line where buyers shop for homes.

7. Lighten and brighten your home. Turn on the lights, open the shades, open the curtains and let the natural light shine in! This will make your home feel happy and inviting.

8. Make necessary repairs. 89% of home buyers who addressed the recommended home repairs spent between 500.oo and 2,000.oo to get the job done. According to the Maritz Survey a home that is "move in ready" will mean a higher price paid by 63% of home buyers. Buyers want to view your house as "well-maintained". This applies whether that is a true or not so true.

9. Clean thoroughly. Make the scents of home neutralized and the rooms sparkle.

10. Eliminate clutter. Clutter distracts people from the things that you really want them to see especially when they see your home for the very first time. Removing clutter will not only make your home appear larger it will make the room simpler, cleaner, crisper and inviting.
