Staged Homes Sell Faster ....

Have you been thinking of selling? Your real estate agent can assist you in helping you put your best foot forward by staging your home. Some agents have an accredited staging backgroud and some have a natural ability. I have a background in Textiles and Clothing and have used this to our advantage in the past.

Some things are just simple, really. Taking a leaf out of the dining room table to make the room appear larger, taking everything off of the countertops, packing clutter away in tubs to take to your new place etc.

One of my clients who had reduced the price of their home were open to the idea of putting hardwood floors into their home. This came from the feedback provided that for a $500,000 home, the family room felt like an apartment. Sure enough, we had $4800 worth of new hardwood floors installed, and it sold within a week. That was an investment that was well worth it in order to get the home sold in a time period were there were plenty of home to choose from.

I hope this was helpful! Take care, Susan
