Selling Your House? It's Not About You Anymore

My 83 year old mom has this really awful red baseball hat she wears a lot that protects her nose from the UV rays. Combine that hat with her sunglasses, her white with sunscreen nose, and wow, she's funny. It's ok, I love her dearly, and I don't have to wear it!

Everyone's tastes are different. Everyone's needs are different.

The upper four shirts may or may not appeal to you. The blue button down men's oxford or the little black dress with pearls are looks that are clean, simple, comfortable, versatile--and appeal to most people. Professional home staging achieves this look in a home so it appeals to just about everyone.

Do you care if your house is clean? Everyone's "clean tolerance" is different too. My kitchen counter always has school papers, cafeteria menus, baseball schedules, coupons and gorgeous 4th grade artwork on it, and I'm ok with this. But my friend Gail goes beserk when she's visiting me, "How can you stand this chaos?" To each his own, right?

When you're trying to sell your house, IT'S NOT ABOUT YOU ANYMORE.

If buyers don't like your wallpaper, your clutter, your clean tolerance level...you are going to get less money for your home at closing. Don't be stubborn. You can live in your NEXT home as you please!

One more time-- Looks that are clean, simple, comfortable and versatile. Professional home staging achieves this look in a home so it appeals to just about everyone.

Staged First Impressions, New Hampshire 's home staging company, strives to educate homeowner's on the benefits of home staging. An informed client feels more relaxed and can make better choices.
