Especially in our changing market staging your home is critical, and every Seller I know wants to sell their house as fast as possible for as much money as possible. I’m sure you’d agree. Well it won’t happen without hard work and maybe the help of a knowlegable real estate agent. You may have to pull out your checkbook first to get buyers to pull out their checkbooks. Here are my top things that one should do before they place their home on the real estate market to make their home the most desireable “On the Market”.
1. Eliminate Personal Emotion Toward Your Home.
*Make it a product to be sold.
*Say your goodbyes ahead of time.
*Concentrate on the future and the paycheck you’ll receive.
2. De-Personalize.
*You want people to picture themselves in the home, not see the family who now occupies it.

3. De-Clutter!Over the years it is inevitable that you will collect a lot of “stuff”, get rid of it.
*Donate or trash items.
*Get rid of knickknacks.
*Get a head start on the packing you will do anyway.
4. Make Necessary Repairs.
*Replace cracked floor or counter tiles.
*Patch holes in walls.
*Fix leaky faucets.
*Consider painting your walls warm neutral colors, especially if you have grown accustomed to purple or pink walls. (Don't give buyers any reason to remember your home as "the house with the orange bathroom.")
*Updated is the name of the game.
5. Make the House Sparkle!
*Basically, you should be able to eat off the floor it's so clean.
*That means inside and out!

Don't forget the price! Prices have fallen, so make sure you have a current market analysis and having a motivated real estate agent always helps.
