Stage Your Home to Sell

Do you remember when you went out looking at homes, and you saw that
picture of that home that looked so pretty that you just had to see
what the inside looked like? So you call your Realtor and schedule a
walk through. You pull up to the property and the first thing you
notice is; this is not the house I saw in the picture!

The bushes are way over grown, the house number is barely hanging on
to the house, and the owners have let their trash cans overflow with
trash, right in front of their house.

Then you go inside, only to find out that you can't even tell what the
house looks like because there is so much stuff everywhere. And it
doesn't even look like they clean!

Well if you haven't, I have! And let me tell you, those properties are
hard to sell!

So let me give you my five steps on what someone should do to make
their house sellable.

Step 1: If you have overgrown bushes trim them down, clean up the
front yard of all distractions that take away from the curb appeal!

Step 2: Go knock on your neighbors door and have them stand at the
curb and let them tell you what they hate about the outside of your
house. (trust me they would love the oportunity.) and then do what
they say!

Step 3: Take that same neighbor inside (or get a new one if your
current one doesn't give you honest answers) and have them let you
know what they like and hate about the inside.

Step 4: Go through your house and: clean it, paint it, replace
anything that needs to be replaced, light it up, hide the junk, bring
in some plants, and rearange your furniture so rooms feel larger.

Step 5: Now go and get your neighbor that you used before and now ask
them to buy your house!

Well there's my steps on how to stage your house to sell.

Now go and do it, and give me a call to list it!
