A Little can go a LONG way!

It seems that one of the major topics of discussion around the office, real estate blogs, and newsletters has been home staging.  It is true that some buyers prefer a vacant home so that they can visualize their own furniture in the home; there seems to be an over-whelming consensus that adding furniture and appropriate accents (a.k.a staging) to a home for sale can:

• 
  
  Increase the selling price of the home
• 
  
  Decrease the number of days the house stays on the market for sale
• 
  
  Add warmth, modernity, and purpose to an often desolate room or space
• 
  
  Allow buyers to visualize how various furniture pieces can fit into a room (example:  "Oh... a king size bed really can fit in the master!")

Regardless if your home is vacant or if you are still residing in it, there are numerous options and techniques  than can help expedite the sale of your home:

• ORGANIZE the space!
• Clearing clutter can go a very, very long way.  It is relatively easy and inexpensive to put those unneeded items into a storage unit, unfinished basement areas, or any other place that is less imposing than the middle of the dining room
• Totes!  I love tote bins... large or small, bring 'em on!
• Great way to store more valuable items that you may not want to just throw in a box that could get water damage (especially if in a storage unit)
• Add decorative pillows, vases, clean towels, candles.  These warming items are inexpensive (if you are a savvy shopper) and go a long way!
• If your home is vacant, adding a few furniture items (i.e. a bed to the master, dining room table, a couch or chairs to the family room) can really help.
• Painting an accent wall or if you can the kitchen can transform rooms like you couldn't believe... It can go from a plain Jane white house into an amazing contemporary home with even a few walls of neutral accent paint.  Going crazy with the colors (i.e. Lime green, navy) can often turn away some potential buyers.

These are just a few of my thoughts on staging and helping a room or space be just a little better.

Let me know if you have questions or need specific advice!
