Let's Get Your House SOLD! Coming To John C. Hart Memorial Library, Yorktown NY, 7 PM on October 6

Let's Get Your House SOLD! Staging For The Average Homeowner

The classic cereal commercial-where two older brothers did not want to try this new breakfast cereal-and instead, gave it to their younger brother, wanting him to go first-reminds me of the reaction I get when it's time to talk about preparing a house for the market.

Sellers and agents each have their ideas of what it is, and how it works, but it's still perceived as this dicey territory, and many seem to want to see some buyer interest first....well, if that was working out for you, chances are you wouldn't be reading this post.

Buyers have a lot to choose from out there. Staging-or preparing your property for the market is a business decision, and a commitment made by people who really want to sell.

Yes, the goal is to make the house look as good as possible, but at the refreshed home,a good solution takes a number of things into consideration: the agents' pricing and marketing strategy, the local market, and the sellers needs, goals and expectations.

If you have a property you want to -or need to sell-come to the John C. Hart Library on Thursday October 6th, at 7PM. We'll discuss this mysterious entity known as Staging, learn how to see a property through the eyes of a buyer, and send you home with things you can do to put your property's best foot forward.

Hope to see you there!
