"How To" REALLY Get Ready to Sell a Home for Agents and Sellers

By
Home Stager with Home Staging 101 DVD - How-to sell your home for more, fast!

How important is it to you to have your listings, if you're an agent, or your home, if you're a seller, ready for market.  I'm suggesting it's extremely important since buyers in our current market will be less then last year and it's essential for you to capture their attention when they look at your offered property.  Missing this opportunity to prepare now will ultimately cost sellers and agents big.  Getting ahead of the curve now will gain you results you'll be happy to have.

Having the property staged is one sure way to get ready.  Keep in mind this may take some time depending on your homes condition.  Consider everything staging related listed below and get ready today for spring buyers!

1.  Curb Appeal-They won't get out of the car if the exterior of your home isn't appealing enough to invite them in!

2.  Update/Repair/Renovate-If your thinking the cost and time it will take to do these things is a turn off just imagine how the buyer will feel.

3.  Stage It-Hire a professional stager to set the stage for a home sold for maximum value while reducing time on market.  ROI is 150%

4.  Natural Light-Natural light is your best friend in the home selling world.  Open blinds and take down or pull back heavy drapes.  Drapes also make a room feel small so, whenever you can let the light in and maximize your homes appearance. 

5.  Fresh Paint on the Front Door-The entry is critical so don't forget this all important point.  Make sure the entry is clear and open and oh a welcome mat outside couldn't hurt either.

6.  Basements and Backyards-Don't forget about these areas that most of us don't consider since we rarely visit them.  The buyer will.

7. Seven is a Lucky Number so now that you've read this entire post you'll increase your luck and good fortune!  Consider several weeks to compete the check list so get ready and get lucky this spring!
