Stage Your Home and Not Spend a Fortune

Anyone thinking of selling their home today should realize how important it is for their home to look it's absolute best to win the beauty contest of the other homes that are also for sale.

Kitchen: Clean, clean, clean....the cabinets should look their best by either a good scrubbing or fresh paint and new hardware. The walls perhaps need a paint freshen up, clear off the counter tops and NO dishes left in the sink please.

Clean and paint high traffic areas...no dust, scuff marks, fingerprints....

Landscape: keep the lawn crisply mowed and watered...great looking lively lawns and landscaping sell a house faster and for more money!

Crisp, clean, fresh and decluttered doesn't cost an arm and a leg...just a bit of sweat equity if you will.

5 Good Beauty Tips for Selling Your Home

Although you may have heard these tips before in reference to getting your home ready for the market, they are SUCCESSFUL tips so here they are again.

1. Declutter! Less is more here to show off your home's space and clutter is a huge distraction to buyers with no imagination.

2. Depersonalize. Your home needs to appeal to the masses and for safety reasons, the public

does not need to know what you or your family members look like. Potential buyers need

to be able to see themselves in your home....not you.

3. Deep Clean. Nothing says I love you like clean....the floors, carpets, baseboards, windows,

railings, hallways, porches and decks.

4. Lighten & Brighten. Light colors on the walls and window curtains open...best for home

showing.

5. Keep the rooms purpose in mind...buyer's imagination is sometimes limited so have beds in

bedrooms, dining table in the dining room (you get the picture)
