Tip of the Day - Stage Your Home

   When you are selling your home, it is imperative that you stage your home properly in order to have your home be the "Best in it's Class."   The following are some suggestions we recommend to our clients if they are truly intersete din selling their home and not just putting it on the market.

• Have your home staged by a professional - an expert is worth their weight in gold.
• Remove all magnets and pictures from refrigerator.
• Put away all unnecessary items on kitchen countertops, especially dish cloths, food, extra canisters, etc.
• Stow under the kitchen sink your dish cloth, scrubbies, dish and hand soap, etc.
• Remove all throw rugs from the flooring in all rooms.
• Stow away all items on bathroom countertops except a nice soap dispenser, or if you have a nice matching set of accessories.  If you want, place everything in a small bin so you can access it easily and yet be able to hide it away when showing the house.
• Place a nice hand towel in the bathrooms.
• Remove all items in shower/tub—again, you may want to put them in a bin so you can easily hide them away as well as pull them out to use.
• Make all beds—daily!
• Hide away all laundry.
• Put away all shoes.
• Have a “10 Minute Showing Drill” set up so that when you receive a call from Showing Solutions you can quickly prep the house.
• Bake cookies or bread prior to showing.
