Staging the bathroom...Lets get down to business!

When your home is up for sale your bathroom needs to show it!  Here are a few tips you may want to keep in mind...

 

1. Clean, clean and clean some more!

2. Get rid of clutter.

3. Stage a few neutral items to give that "fresh" look.

4. Speaking of fresh...use a room deodoriser to keep that fresh and clean scent.

 

Here is a couple good video's I found to illustrate my points...

Kitchen, Clutter & Closing...

Here we go again, Skip...you don't seem to understand.  I hired you to sell my house not reorganize my kitchen! 

When you hired me, you hired me to get you to the closing table. 

Yes, yes I know.  I want you to sell my house, but what in the world does my refrigerator magnets have to do with it? 

When a buyer enters a home, they want a clean canvas to work from.  They really do not care that little Billy is good at coloring.  So, keep in mind that big white box in your kitchen is a huge part of how much the buyers are going to like your kitchen...CLEAN it off!  You also need to clear your kitchen counters.  You know the spice rack you got when you moved in...and still, to this day, the spices have the wrappers on them!  Buyers want to have a large amount of counter space.  If your toaster, coffee maker, bread machine, spice rack, and three months of bills are on the counters, they won't be able to see how much space they will have to prepare the Christmas dinner in their beautiful, new house this year.  Clean...clean...clean.  Make it spotless.  Who wants to buy a house that has a dirty kitchen? 

If you have priced your home correctly, you should only have to keep it spotless for a short period of time...We will talk price in a later post! 

One more thought...Go ahead and pack.  You know you are moving right, so if you are not going to use it, then go ahead and pack it.  This will allow the buyers to see the true potential of the space.  Always keep in mind the fact that you only have a few seconds to woo the buyers...use the time well!

Grace & Peace...

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...
