Top 10 Home-Staging Dos

Please Do:

  • Set your listing price by utilizing area comparables, not based upon what you need to buy that ostrich farm.

     

  • Put personal collections away someplace safe, like a bank vault in Zurich.

     

  • Invest in a fresh coat of paint ... and get 150 perecent green back on your investment.

     

  • Disclose everything, especially the stuff you are tempted not to.

     

  • Fix all running toilets, or risk flushing profits down the drain.

     

  • Remember that "outside" is the new "inside." Show off all of your living spaces.

     

  • Visit model homes to see how neutrality and spaciousness are made to feel so inviting.

     

  • Grind a lemon in the garbage disposal – it smells great and it's such great exercise!

     

  • Display the kind of plants that aren't injection-molded and painted in a factory somewhere overseas.
