If You Knew No Fear, What Would You Do To Help Sell Your Home?

By
Home Stager with Perceptions AdverStaging(TM), LLC

It could be the circles I'm networking with or just the luck of the draw.

I'm seeing home owners that have to sell.

Some contact me as a last ditch effort, hoping for a miracle.  glacier

 

I've seen a few houses that could be on the market for a long, long time.  Truth is, as soon as I approach the property I get a sense of why that is.  Some of these owners are so afraid they're as frozen as a glacier in the Tundra.  And it's obvious by the way the home is presented.    

 

You may not have the "eye" or the financial means to stage your property as best as can be done, but there are a few low cost measures you can take so that your home is infinitely more attractive to potential buyers.   The secret is in the details.

 

Crank up the sound and start moving those feet - Many of you do have the power to make a difference in your house and frequently you can address these issues on your own.

For the next several posts

We'll be breaking down one of my basic staging consultations into bite size pieces. 

There won't be actual merchandising suggestions at this point. We're at the very beginning, but most important phase of preparing your home for sale.

 

Before you can think about arranging furniture and accessories there are basics that have to be addressed. 

 

Stay tuned.

Judi - Oh good!  1 reader committed to the series :) 

I'm working on collecting music and graphics.  I'll be back as soon as I possibly can!!

Carmen - Yes, the foundation has to be laid first; but some folks are even stuck there from what I've seen so I thought I'd give a hand up.

Thanks for stopping in!

Charlie - Aye, aye. :)
