Now that the $8,000 tax credit for
home purchases has expired and
sales have slowed it may be a bit
harder to sell your home.
If you have a house sitting on the market or thinking about listing one your property must be in tip top shape.
It may take an excess of 180 days to get a contract in most metro areas.
That's when its time to bring in help
. Staging is very different than decorating.
A staged home must be attractive, up to date in furnishings but not too
personal. Most homeowners find it challenging to
separate themselves from their home.
Professional
staggers add a trained eye that minimizes a homes flaws and maximizes its best features.
If you live in the
DC metro area and have a special property that's yearning to show it's

tips to help you get your property sold
faster:1. Always paint...use a neutral color pallet overall 2. Keep furniture to a minimum...it maximizes room size
3. Stage adjoining rooms as a single space
4. Float the furniture...it opens up the room
5. Upgrade builder grade light fixtures
6. Refresh tiles in kitchens and baths by regrouting
7. Stripe an accent wall to create visual interest in a condo
8. Create a master bedroom that appeals to both men and women
9. Don't forget the backyard...a fence keeps out intruders
10. If the outside isn't appealing they won't come in
