By letting go of strings of attachment and letting the house become a product, you are in essence staging and merchandising the home. After all, you are hiring us to sell the space, not the stuff.<\/p>\n<p>First, I suggest by first putting away all your knick knack in a box. You are moving anyway, and this will get you one step closer to that day. If you have any extra furniture that seems out of place, store it away. Less is more!<\/p>\n<p>Second, detail the house \u2013 Like a car, would you buy it dirty ? Not too offend anyone, but some \u201cpersons clean is not the other persons clean\u201d. I suggest hiring a professional cleaner to scrub the house to hotel quality. Buyers can easily be turned off by any amount of grim.<\/p>\n<p>Third, buyers need to mentally see themselves in the home. They are visualizing all their belongings in your home, so strong wall colours can turn them off. I suggest painting the walls a neutral tone. It will give more flow to the house and give the walls a clean, fresh look.<br \/>\n<!-- BEGIN: Constant Contact HTML for Send Page to Friend --><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/ui.constantcontact.com\/sa\/fp.jsp?plat=i&amp;p=f&amp;m=jix8ysbab\"><u>Send Page To a Friend<\/u><\/a><br \/>\n<!-- END: Constant Contact HTML for Send Page to Friend --><\/p>\n<p>I wrote this article because I am passionate about real estate.
