Dress Your House for Success Marketing Tip #7

Tip #7 in our "Dress your House for Success" home staging tip series

In the book Home Staging by Barb Schwarz, Barb recommends using The Rule of Three.  She says that three items are pleasing to the eye and suggests grouping three items on a coffee table, three pictures on a wall or three candles on a mantle.  Remove extra magazines, pillows, clocks and that collection of elephants.  Ok I made up the part about the elephants but you get the point.  I once received this feedback from an agent on one of my listings - "Did you know that the seller has 37 stuffed bears in the family room?"  Needless to say the buyer didn't buy the house.  I believe a grouping of three bears would have been better!

 The real estate market has changed in Eastern Connecticut.  Ask about our "Dress Your House for Success" marketing system* with home staging tips to set the scene to help get your home sold!
