Every seller will greatly benefit from doing the following three things.


Real estate and physics have some very basic fundamental principles and laws.  An example, in physics the law of gravity is paramount.  If you throw a ball up, you know that it is going to come down.  Tough to defy this law.

In real estate, the most basic Law, is that the better home looks, the faster it will sell and for more. Tough to defy this law.  Therefore, as a seller it is necessary to prepare your home properly for sale.  You want your home to look great and be shown in the best possible light.  This can be easily accomplished in a short period of time.  You merely:

Fixed and repair things.  Buyers expect their home to be in reasonably good repair.  They do not want dripping faucets, broken windows, leaking roof's or damage doors.  They expect that the garage door will go up and down in a normal fashion and that the doors will open and shut easily.  They're not looking for everything to be new, they only want things to be undamaged and operate properly.

Clean the home.  When buying something new, you want it to be clean.  Likewise, when buyers are buying their home, it is new to them and they expected it to be clean.  Clean and shiny things sell much better than dirty and messy things.  The same is true with your home.

When a home is clean and well repaired, it doesn't mean that it is desirable.  To have your home sell faster and for more, you need to have it be desirable.  You want buyers to desire your home over all the other homes on the market.

Staging is the element that creates the strong desire.  Through properly staging your home you will create focal points and a sense of lifestyle.  One where buyers picture themselves relaxing, raising a family or entertaining friends.
