Staging Home for Sale

You've worked hard to prepare your client's home for sale. You've done all the right things inside the home. Are you done?

No. Unless you worked on the exterior too.

When Staging your client's home (or your own home for that matter), don't forget the impact that first impressions make.

So thoroughly check the view of the home from the curb. You need to make sure you ahve a clear path from the curb to the front door. Is the path clean and free of debris? Do bushes, flower beds and shrubs need to be clipped? Are there any pet droppings? How about hazards?

Is the address plain to see and easily seen?

For a full checklist of tasks for the exterior (as well as the interior of any home), you might want to get a copy of "Home Staging for Profit". Whether you're looking to start a home staging business of your own, or just stage your own home, you'll find the 25-page check list really valuable.

First impressions are everything. Make sure your's are the best they can be.
