Want To Sell Your House? Don't Ignore These Details

This has been making the rounds across the Web right now - it's a simple reminder of what sellers (and their agents) should be paying attention to.  It doesn't matter if it's a home in Blacksburg, or Christiansburg, or Radford ... all of these things make a difference.  The short list? 

1. De-clutter
2. De-pet
3. Leave during showings
4. Your first offer is often your best offer
5. Lowball offers are simply starting points - they're not insults
6. Update, clean and paint
7. Curb appeal matter
8. De-personalize
9. Lighten up the house
10. Fix broken stuff

And Jim Duncan adds #11 - "Price to the market; what you owe does not matter to the buyers or the market."

Sellers - How To Make Money In Today's Market

Revisions Redesigns  uses the items already in your home to design rooms that maximize their potential.  Don't think this can make you money when you go to sell your home?  Check out some of these statistics from Home Staging Resource:

Remodeling doesn't always make sense ... thanks to Tom Markiewicz for sending that article.  Home staging, however, almost always pays, because it sets the home apart, as well as creates the environment for buyers to feel themselves in the home.
