Maximize Your Results When Selling Your Home by Following These Easy Home Staging Tips
Easy Home Staging Tips:
- Obtain feedback from a friend, relative or neighbor - Your objective is to get the most honest feedback as possible. Start with the exterior and work your way through the entire house. If your home has a garage, basement and/or attic - make sure you address those places as well.
- Check out your competition - Even if it means driving around and writing down the addresses to view them online, you need to understand how your home compares to the others on the market in your area.
- Create a list, plan and prioritize - Preparing a home for the market can be a bit overwhelming; this is where a well thought out plan will help reduce the stress. As items are completed, check it out the list. Repairs should top your list. Buyers don't want to own fixing problems in their newly purchased home.
- Think like a buyer, not a seller - Viewing your home as a buyers versus a seller can help reduce the emotional connection you may have with your home. This may be difficult for some sellers as the bond can be quite strong. However, you need to remember that homebuyers come into your home with an entirely different perspective.

Kathy, all other things being equal, staging a home can make the difference in a sale vs no sale!
Love the list. I think the most important thing is to think like a buyer not a seller.
Terrific information Kathy. I'm re-blogging this for others to see.
That's right, Kathy, and one more easy tip might be: ask your local professional home stager to provide a cost-effective staging consultation. The seller will save money and time, and know that the improvements will make a difference in their ROI for a faster sale.
Team Knowles - I couldn't agree more!
Kathy Torline - Feel free to share it with your sellers.
Thanks, Gabe, for the re-blog.
Maureen - Great addition to the list! Thanks.

Kathy, I love your suggestion that they look at the competition! Sellers rarely think of that!
Great post, Kathy. It is so important for sellers to check out their competition. That is one feature I appreciate on some of the HGTV real estate shows. The agent will take them to several comparable homes for sale in their area so they can really see how their home stacks up to the competition and adjust the price accordingly.
Kathy, these are all great tips! Especially checking out the competition. It's great to know what you're up against and what buyers are comparing your home to.
