Clutter can cost you thousands of dollars when you're selling your home!!

Bottom line: clutter eats equity! 

Table tops that have more than one item on them detract attention from what you're selling!   You're selling a house, not your knick-knacks.  We've watched people take weeks to prepare for a yard sale (where they'll probably net $100), and yet these same people spend only hours preparing their house for sale.

Anything can become clutter:

  1. Overgrown bushes = clutter
  2. Fully decorated dining room tables = clutter
  3. Personal photographs = clutter
  4. Closets filled with old clothing = clutter
  5. Garages filled with paint cans and lawn equipment = clutter
  6. Mantles are great places for............clutter
  7. Bathroom sinks are great places for...........clutter
  8. China cabinets are great places for ..........clutter

Even professional home stagers have difficulty seeing the clutter that has accumulated in their homes.  That's why most professional home stagers hire someone else to stage their homes.

So when you're preparing your home for sale, hire the 'Clutter Hounds' at Houston Home Staging to sniff out and eliminate clutter!

Remember to always use an accredited staging professional to prepare your home for sale.  Decorators 'decorate' and will present a portfolio of pretty homes.   Houston Home Staging not only presents a portfolio of attractively staged homes, we have the statistics to show that most of our projects receive bids within 14 days of the staging.  Check out our website for further details........www.houstonhomestaging.net

2 Comments on HOUSTON REAL ESTATE: WHATS THAT KLUTTER REALLY GONNA COST ME?

A great way for clients to control clutter that is "needed" on a regular basis it to use a basket storage system. Baskets are attractive to look at, and can store a variety of small items without making the room look like a mess. They are great for unfiled paperwork (mail), small toys, dog toys, and more!
