Why you can't afford NOT to get your home in top condition if selling or leasing in today's market

With a national financial crisis and the tales of woe and doom in the housing market many wonder how are they are ever going to get through this time if selling a property at this most uncertain time of our nation's economy?

After reading an article today on MSN.COM titled: Top 5 Things home buyers and sellers should do now, I am convinced the services of a home staging professional are even more necessary than ever.

Listed below are the top 5 tips for home sellers from the article:

1. Wait out the market if possible, especially if your house is located in a very troubled market
2. Get your house in great shape but at a reasonable cost - THIS IS WHERE A HOME STAGING PROFESSIONAL IS INVALUABLE. A home staging professional can address cost effective ways to get your house in great shape. A cost effective consultation is a great way to achieve that. The article goes on to state that with all the homes on the market right now buyers need to be impressed by what they see in yours and having your house in top shape will set it apart from the lot.
3. PRICE the house right
4. Don't go FSBO - houses aren't selling themselves any longer and it's imperative to get the right Realtor on your team who knows how to get your house sold
5. Ask for buyers to have a pre-approval letter with any offers they make, this protects you and if a buyer isn't willing to provide that initially, you won't end up wasting time and money in the long run.

It's never too late to address your home selling concerns, whether thinking of listing or if you have a home currently listed.
