Selling your house

In today’s market where qualified buyers are few, sellers have to put extra effort into attracting those buyers.

Staging your house to sell is one of the most important things you can do.

Take a look at your house and think about it’s best features. What attracted you to this house when you bought it? Highlight those features by making it stand out - clean the area around it, put flowers near that area, note it on the flyer and other advertising.

Look for features that are attractive but you have not made the most of it to make your home look nice. For example, my client sealed off the fireplace in the bedroom because she did not want her small children messing with it. I asked her to take off the cardboard and move the furniture away from the fireplace to show it off. It is a desirable feature to have a fireplace in the bedroom even though it was not functional to her family.

I tell my sellers that the way you live in a house is not the way you sell it. Stage your house to show off all its positive features, even those that you do not normally use.
