This is part 6 of the 90 ways to sell your home faster and for more money series. Again it contains some of the important parts of what we have found to help our sellers get the outcome they desire. The first 5 parts list some highlights from the Repairs, Cleaning, & Neutralizing portion of the series, to see them go to 90 ways part 1, 90 ways 2, 90 ways 3, 90 ways 4, & 90 ways 5.

A few years ago we came up with document titled "90 ways to sell your home faster and for more Money" to help Summit County Colorado Sellers prepare their homes to sell. It has served us and our sellers well when they follow our recomendations in the document. It is broken down into 6 categories:

· Repairs

· Cleaning

· Neutralizing

· Space Management

· Atmosphere

· Staging

I decided to put a sample of it on our blog in the hope it will help sellers not only here in the Rocky Mountain Resort region but nation wide. It will be posted in a 6 part series.

Part 6 Staging:

22.    Study magazine ads, furniture showrooms, &  model homes to see how small details can make rooms more attractive and appealing. The effect of a vase of flowers, an open book on the coffee table, a basket of birch logs by the fireplace, etc., can make the difference in a room.

24.    Soften potentially offending views, but always let light into your rooms. Replace heavy curtains with sheer white panels. Never apologize for things you cannot change. The buyer will either decide to accept or reject the property regardless of the words you say. Just present the home in the best way possible with complete honesty.

27.    Color has the power to attract. A tub of geraniums, a pot of petunias, or a basket of impatiens on the front steps is a welcoming touch. Buyers love color!

30.    Check to see that all doors and windows are in good working order. Give special attention to your home's exterior doors and front entry. Clean and paint doors if necessary. Remember, first impressions are likely to color the remainder of the house tour.

Deanna and I have sold many homes and have found the first impression a buyer sees sets the mind set for the whole home tour. Check your planters for weeds and stage the front door area with color and in winter use a colorful dried flower wreath.
