Maybe it's time for a little TLC regarding staging your property for market. Is every room and space "market ready?" Even the garage? If you are not selling the garage with the property then you can probably skip all the advice, but home staging goes beyond the impact rooms and the curb appeal. All too often when we review a property at StageRight Home Staging (www.stagerightstaging.com) we see garages, basements and out buildings that are not "staged" and ready for market.
If your garage is dry walled a fresh coat of inexpensive paint really cleans it up. Packing up those seasonal items that are "out of season" and organizing what is left is a little bit of work that can go along way in differentiating you property from all the others. Clean garage windows and sills, cob webs that are swept down and a clean garage floor will set the scene for the potential home buyer to "remember" your property in a good way.
If the first impression is not a good one, it only goes down hill from there. Messes, dirt and clutter are distractions that are not easily overcome. Remember only 10% of the people have vision to see beyond the mess, why take a chance. Properly prepare and stage your home and tell the potential buyer you are a seller not a dweller.

I'm glad you talked about staging the garage. It is often forgotten, but buyers expect the garage to be pristine like the rest of the house. If it's not, they be thinking "Next House" I like the phrase "sellers, not dwellers."
