We talk a lot about staging a home in today’s Real Estate market. Believe me, I think staging is a BIG part of success in selling a home at a higher price with a quicker turn around.
One step that is equally important is packing. Packing should be the first step in getting your home ready to sell. One of the things I tell my seller’s is take it room by room and closet by closet. Take a deep breath and ask yourself if you can live without the items for the next couple of months. If the answer is yes, pack it up!! Buyers need to be able to see the size of the room and closets. Packing before staging will make the stage process a breeze.
