<p><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Cleaning and Clearing Out</span></em></p>
<p>This is a great time of year to begin to clean out your closets and cabinets and reorganize.  It’s such a good feeling when you finish and open the door and see that everything is where it should be.  It’s also great for finding things you thought were long-lost.  The tough part is to keep it organized.  I do this reorganizating often, and tell myself that this time I will keep it up–but usually down the road, things start getting put into places they shouldn’t be put.  But, again I say, this time “I WILL KEEP IT ORGANIZED!”&#8230;&#8230;.It’s also a good time to plant those flowers around the entrance to your home–this always sets a happy tone for anyone who comes to visit–plus, yourself, as you come and go on a daily basis&#8230;..Never underestimate the impact of bright, clean, organized  and cheerful surroundings.</p>
<div><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Vacant Home Staging</em></span>  </div>
<div>When a potential buyer walks into a vacant property, unfortunately, it always looks smaller than it is.  It is also hard for some buyers to imagine it as a living space or where all their furnture pieces could go&#8230;..What a Professional Home Stager does is come into a vacant property and design it to portray the life-style homebuyers really want—-how they would like to live. </div>
<div>
<p>You are really missing out on a quicker sale by not putting a small investment (compared to the actual cost of the property) into staging your vacant property.  On my website are several photos of a recently staged vacant home.  The difference and ambiance are amazing.  </p>
<p>What do you think?  Do you see how the whole feeling of the property is changed just by adding the ‘right staging furnishings.’  In most cases, the cost of staging a property is much less than the first &#8216;price reduction.&#8217;  Think about it!</p>

<p><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Sellers Must Disassociate Themselves from their Homes</span></em></p>
<p>It has been found that after living in a home for more than 2 years, it is almost impossible to “objectively” view the space and our sentimental belongings from a buyer’s perspective and thus spend your staging budget wisely.   </p>
<p>The elements of the home that may have annoyed us originally, we no longer notice.  Our homes become like our children: we are filled with memories and emotions about the home and our belongings, so that objectively altering them to fit a buyer’s perspective becomes nearly impossible to do ourselves!</p>
<p>That&#8217;s why it is important to get a professional home stager to help you look at your home with &#8216;buyer&#8217;s eyes&#8217; so that you attract buyers and offers in the current tough real estate market.</p>
