Presenting Your Home To Buyers


In competitive markets, savvy real estate agents are quick to point out to sellers that presentation is nearly as important as price. Sellers can work this to their advantage by cleaning their homes, removing clutter, and repositioning furniture. This is known as "staging". Whether sellers hire professionals or do this work on their own, the idea is to remove all the unnecessary personal items from walls, shelves, and floors that make a home seem less than roomy. In addition, professionals know how to eliminate and position furniture in rooms to improve their appearance and traffic flow. In a sense, by removing half the clutter from a home, it can be made to appear twice as large.
Hint: One of the first places from which sellers should remove clutter is garages, which buyers closely inspect for storage possibilities.
It's true. People buy what they see. You don't necessarily have to spend lots of money to prepare your home for sale. Sometimes, the simple repositioning of furniture and decorative items creates a whole new "look".
