Home Staging is a great way to make your home the best it can be when you go to sell .    Successful home staging is Key to helping you get top dollar for your home and in todays market  - why not get the most you can get for your property?

When people come to see your home, the first impression is your outside property;  stand outside and take note what needs to be done to your home to make it look the best it can be.   For little money you can improve your home to show potential buyers that you care , by just getting a new front door mat,  cutting the grass, pulling the weeds, planting flowers, all these things make a Great  first impression to a buyer .  Solar lighting is also a wonderful way to freshen up your home for little money.     Potential buyers decide before they get out of the car, could they see themselves in your home.    If it is unkept on the outside, they assume it will be unkept on the inside and may even pass on going inside to view the home.

Once in the front door , one of the first things people notice is any odors in the home.    There are so many different products now to eliminate odors and now that the holidays are here, use a fragrance that is festive to make your home more inviting.

Today's buyers want homes in move in condition and expect the home to be clutter free and as neutral as possible.   Since you will be moving anyway, I suggest to the seller to pack your photos and personal items away and label them in boxes by room so when you move you can just unpack the room.

Ask your real estate agent to help you stage or declutter your home to help it sell quicker.   Often it is easier for an agent to look around tell you what to do to make your home sell quicker.

Most importantly, ,make sure your home is clean.  I cannot tell you how many people forget this part,  buyers really do make decisions on their first impression of your home!    Good luck, by doing a few things to your home, you can put your best foot forward.
