Let's get moving and home stage
Sherry Gallagher-Warden

The purpose of staging a home for sale is to sell your home quickly and get top dollar for doing so! The average increase in sale price of a Staged versus a Non-Staged home is 6.9% (www.stagedhomes.com/public/statistics.php, 2006). It's a bit like designing a stage for a play--everything is in just the right place; perfectly arranged, and comfortably set to impress potential buyers.
Making a great first impression is essential when it comes to selling a home because most people are looking for a home they can move right into without having to do a lot of work. Statistics show that a potential buyer decides to buy or not to buy a home in the first 3 to 5 minutes after walking through the door--I call this the "blink" factor.
The hardest part of preparing your home for sale will be realizing that it is no longer your home; it's now a 'product'. It can no longer reflect you. Therefore, it must be arranged and decorated so that the potential homebuyer can see him/herself living there. In other words, the way you live in your home and sell your home are two different things.
Preparing a house for sale starts from the curb and goes all the way through the house to the back yard. The fact is today's homebuyers can be very selective as to which houses they want to even take the time to see. The internet allows potential buyers to rule out houses by just looking at pictures online. They may choose to drive by several houses before deciding which ones they will visit. Here's just a sampling of helpful suggestions:           
1. Is your front door old, dated? Consider hanging a new door or at least paint the existing one.
2. Edit! Edit! Edit! It's important to remove obstacles that might distract potential homebuyers from actually "seeing" your home.
3. Remove all personal family photos--for two reasons--you want homebuyers to
envision themselves living there and for safety reasons--strangers will not know who lives there.
4.  Clean out all closets, built-in cabinets, and pantries. Pack at least half of       their contents away for your move. This gives the impression that your storage      areas are more spacious.
5.  Remove busy wallpaper. Repaint walls with neutral colors such as warm off-       whites, tans, taupes and/or soft golds.
It is a fact that homes which are properly prepared before they appear on MLS, sell faster and at a higher price than similar, unprepared homes. Remember, you only have one time to make a great first impression--Stage your home today!
