Climb aboard the "staged" coach!

YeeHaw! Go ahead and grab your stuff and climb aboard the "staged" coach!

     Let's face it.  No matter who you are, if you are going to sell anything you want to get the most you can for it...right?  How about if it is your home? I will tell you...I walk through a lot of homes on a daily basis, and you know, I have found that with just a few simple changes, your home could show even better--yielding you a shorter time on the market and a higher sales price .  You may say, "Here it comes.  This guy wants me to spend even more money!"  Back that wagon up a bit, I said nothing about spending any money.  You can get amazing results with a couple simple tricks.
1. Get rid of clutter...You're moving, so go ahead and pack it, if it's not going to get used!
2. De-personalize your rooms...I know you may love little Cindy's art work, but it needs to be put away so the potential buyers can "feel" like they can make it their space.
3. Go outside.  Close your front door; then enter your home--for the first time, looking at it from the eyes of a buyer.
4. Open up any dark rooms so that the natural light can flow.  If that is not possible, make sure lighting is on and bright before any showings.
5. Leave some light music playing during the day, so if you were to have a showing, you set a relaxing mood.

Just a couple of other things you could do that may take a few plug nickles...
6. Put out an air freshner that plugs into the wall and is a neutral smell.
7. Paint that drab room a NEUTRAL color...
8.  Clean the flooring.

Here is a quick video that is worth a look see...



Grace and Peace....
