Want to sell your home faster, get more showings and sell for top dollar? - STAGE TO SELL -

Posted to Mary Petersen

When selling your home it is a must to deliver your package the way the consumer wants it. There have been times I have had to deliver hard messages in gentle ways to both the seasoned seller and the 1st time seller. My message is clear - if you want buyers to view your home & follow through with an offer you must do some type of staging whether it is removing clutter, painting or rearranging. I love to shop in the home I’m staging. I remove pieces in & out the rooms throughout the entire home. This really gives a whole new look to the home without extra cost.

Most of my staging is at a minimal cost to the seller, but it is labor intensive. One area that is greatly over looked is our precious closet space. You can spiff up that area by painting it and remove your off-season items. A cute trick is turning the hangers in the same direction and having all matching hangers is a must.

Store larger items at the top so the eye moves up and through the area.

Those hard to fold items like fitted sheets can be pain! What I do is; I fold the sheets then place them into a new crisp pillow case and put the folded edge facing out. The pillow case application is inexpensive ($4.00-$6.00) and gives the space the look of organization.

Staging provides your home with the appearance of being neat, clean and taken care of.
