house determines how fast it gets off of the shelf. If you are a real estate investor or
a home owner interested in selling your house, here are awesome tips on how to
stage your house for a fast sale:
3. Make The Home Spotless
This is a no brainer. Who is going to
buy a dirty house? To create a great
first impression you need to ensure
that your home is clean. This calls for
you to clean windows, floor, counters,
ceiling and other fixtures. If the house
is too big, chances are that you can't
clean it on your own. The safe way of
going about it is hiring a cleaning
company to help you out.
4. Maintain The Yard:
There is nothing that screams "bargain" like an unkempt yard. You should cut down the
glass and trim the flowers. You should also update the yard furniture.
5. Get Rid of Clutter
It's easy to hold onto personal effects such as pictures. Remember that
the homebuyer isn't interested on your personal likes thus you should
get rid of them. The personal effects also tend to clutter the place
hiding the attractive areas of the house.
The rule of thumb that you should follow is to eliminate anything that
doesn't add value to the homebuyer.

7. Incite Curiosity
A home buyer may not be interested
in buying the house at first, but when
he/she tours the entire house he/she
might change his/her mind. To
encourage the buyer to tour the entire
house you should incite curiosity by
placing interesting items in the
hallway, corners and even at the top
of the stairs.
8. Paint the Rooms
If the paint in the house has faded you should consider repainting it. Repainting shows that you have
invested in the property. In addition to painting you should also fix wall holes, light fixtures and
windows.
9. Open the closets
Buyers want enough storage space
and many won't buy a house if it
doesn't have enough space. Even if
you have a lot of things to store, you
should remove them in order to
create the impression of "plenty of
room."
