Home Staging, is the art of decorating a home to sell quickly and for top dollar.
So, let’s transform your home in order to attract as many potential buyers as possible.
Number One Rule: "De-Clutter"
- Collect all those items that are truly garbage and toss them. Call a junk removal company if necessary
- Donate to a local charity all those items that are clean and in good repair
- Garage sale - Clear out the garage too if you want people to think your home has enough space for all their stuff. Think about this as you go through your entire home. Maximize your space.
- Pare down cupboards, vanities, closets, storage areas to show maximum space.
- Pack items not currently being used and remove them from your home.
- Rent a storage unit or call a company that delivers portable storage units.

Planning and Organizing a Garage Sale |
|
Let’s make room in your life…along with some money and fun too!
1. Date and Time – choose ones that don’t conflict with holidays or any other major events in your area. Piggy back on church sales, bazaars, street sales.
2. What to Sell – Make sure to all clean the items. If it’s broken or unusable, toss it. You can sell anything from clothes and toys to cars and boats. Provided they are in good working condition. I sold my husband’s boat and wasn’t even trying.
3. Set Up – place larger items near the end of the driveway or on the lawn, to attract buyers as they drive by. Line all other items along your driveway. Have lots of newsprint and shopping bags for packing.
