Dress Your House for Success

If you are planning to sell your home anytime during 2006, now would be a good time to think about getting ready to show your home in the very best light.  Realtors® like to describe it as “Staging your Home” for sale.  There are numerous books and even a TV show about the topic but it generally gets down to just a few key points.  Before your home goes on the market it needs to be cleaned, brightened, de-cluttered and neutralized.  Then you can set the stage.

Set your house the same way you would set a stage.  A few “props” here and there can create an appealing scene.  Having something baking in the oven may sound corny but it certainly gives potential buyers a warm feeling of home.  Put special towels and soap out in the bathroom.  Place a centerpiece on your table.  Fresh flowers inside and outside are very welcoming.  Toss a pretty throw blanket across your bed.  Fill small bowls with potpourri.  Nothing expensive!  Little things don't cost a lot can make a big difference.
