Fashion police
Next to the garage, home offices seem to rank high on
clutter, and if there were “fashion police”, many
sellers would be arrested immediately and hauled away on
the spot.
A common example of this is framed certificates on
home-office walls. Certificates and pictures for
“attending the annual office party or golf tournament";
the “#1 best sales effort in the second week of the
fourth quarter; or certified as…….”, On June 12, 19…..
These are not staging items, they're distracting, of no real
interest or benefit to the buyer and should be removed
immediately - all of them!! A tasteful print or set of
pictures will look much better on the walls.

If you can't keep your home office looking
uncluttered and neat, then you may have to find a new
office for yourself.
It is time to change your
office looks, not for eternity, but for a short
period of time. Use your imagination and
creativity; figure out how to have only one or
two items on your desk and filing cabinet. |

Desks should look like the ones in a furniture store
show room.
Polished and clear of clutter.
-
File should be put away, not laying on the desk and
cabinet tops.
-
Staplers, pencil sharpeners, paper clip holders, and
extra phones removed.
-
Cables, phone wires and extension cords out of sight
or removed.
-
A
minimal amount of fax machines and printers, and
extra CPUs stored away.
-
Damaged desk, chairs, bookcases, need to be removed or repaired.
-
Manuals, trade magazines and phone books out of
sight.
-
Office supplies put away or stored.
-
Bookcases staged and extra filing
cabinets stored.
The
majority of offices have way too much furniture and
office equipment, so plan on moving some out now,
possibly to storage.
