<span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit;">When it comes to selling a home, the benefits of home staging are enormous.</span></div>
<div class="post-info" style="border: 0px; clear: both; color: #5e5e5e; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

<div class="post-info" style="border: 0px; clear: both; color: #5e5e5e; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit;">A NAR survey states that a whopping 90% of buyers search online during the home buying process. That’s why you have to grab their attention in the very beginning, starting with the MLS photos posted online. If buyers don’t like what they see, they won’t waste their time or make it to your front door. In this day and age, it’s on to the next listing with the click of a button until potential buyers feel a connection to a home they see. Staging can provide that emotional connection that many homes lack. Prepare, stage and then list with picture perfect photos.</span></div>
<div class="post-info" style="border: 0px; clear: both; color: #5e5e5e; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="post-info" style="border: 0px; clear: both; color: #5e5e5e; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit;">The vast majority of buyers can’t imagine how their furnishings will look in a home. A properly staged home will accent and highlight the features and attributes of your house. It will help buyers visualize how they can place their furnishings and accessories and imagine a future lifestyle. It also defines any awkward spaces or rooms that may be questionable for a buyer. Proper placement, size and scale are key. You want a room to look as large as possible. Buyers are paying for square footage and they want to see it.</span></div>

<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-top: 22px; overflow: hidden; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Your home should show as warm and inviting, not sterile. Home staging is designed to keep buyers in your home longer. The longer they linger, the more interested they are.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-top: 22px; overflow: hidden; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Home staging is a way to connect with potential buyers that are looking in your neighborhood. If you stage for your demographic area, you will have an advantage over your competition. If your neighborhood is older and home sellers are downsizing, then young families may be your target market. If so, the lifestyle staging should reflect a younger buyer.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-top: 22px; overflow: hidden; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Home staging also gives the notion that a house is worth more money, and is well kept. If you have older, outdated furnishings, I would highly recommend hiring a professional home stager to bring in updated furnishings and accessories to give your home a newer, fresh look. If you are on a tight budget or a D.I.Y.’er, consider hiring a home stager for a consultation. It is the first step and a very cost effective way to stage your home, giving you a third-party, non-partial perspective of your property.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-top: 22px; overflow: hidden; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
If homes are staged, buyers will realize the seller cares and has maintained and taken care of the inside and out.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-top: 22px; overflow: hidden; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
A staged home will show better, bringing you more traffic and better offers, which can result in a bidding war.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-top: 22px; overflow: hidden; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Having your home staged is easier to keep show-ready at all times, taking the stress out of last minute showings.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-top: 22px; overflow: hidden; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Don’t give buyers a reason to walk through your home and pick it apart only to give you a low ball offer. Home staging will be the best investment you can make when selling your largest asset!</div>

When you’re organizing, you should sort everything into five piles: move to another room, donate, give to a specific person, throw away, and, finally, the “marinating” pile. Pack up the marinating items, and label the box with a date that’s six months to a year later. If you never open the box before that date, you can safely discard those items. </div>

To make an organizing project go faster:</h1>

Create rules about what you’re keeping and what you’re discarding. In your closet, for example, you can decide to give away any clothing that’s not between size x and size y, that’s stained, or that needs to be repaired. With periodicals, you can decide not to keep anything that’s more than a year old.</div>

...on laundry baskets, bins, and other containers. They just make it harder to put things away. For other items, I’m a huge fan of clear sweater boxes. Not only do they hold sweaters in your closet, but they’re perfect for holding beans, rice, and pasta in your pantry, Legos in your playroom, the stuff you collect at trade shows, and more. They fit on almost any shelf in any home and can hold most of the stuff in your house. I order them by the case.</div>

Your goal should be to remove the clutter, not create more storage space.</h1>
<div style="line-height: 24px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px 0px 5px;">
People who think they’re disorganized always run out and start buying baskets, containers and hooks. You come home and try to use them, and they’re not the right type or size, because you didn’t sort through your stuff first. That’s just backward. All those new containers just end up adding to your clutter.</div>

The number one problem for all my clients? Too much paper.</h1>
<div style="line-height: 24px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px 0px 5px;">
The whole idea of a paperless society is a complete myth. People are seriously scared to get rid of it. Remember, 80 percent of the paper you get you don’t need to keep. So it’s imperative to keep weeding out every single day, whether that's magazines, catalogs, mail, receipts, or anything else.</div>

Are you holding on to a big piece of the past?</h1>
<div style="line-height: 24px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px 0px 5px;">
If you’re keeping something that doesn’t fit in your home for sentimental reasons—say, Aunt Jenny’s blue recliner or Grandma’s chandelier—recognize it’s the memory you cherish, not the item. Then take a picture of it and give it away to someone who actually has space for it who will love it. That said, if you really love that paperweight collection, grandma’s old photographs, or that heirloom quilt, why are you letting them get ruined, moldy, or eaten by moths in cardboard boxes in the attic? Honor your favorite keepsakes by getting them out and displaying them.</div>

Don’t procrastinate. If you postpone things that take a few minutes, it adds up and suddenly you’re looking at several hours to clear your clutter. Always open your mail right away, do dishes right after you use them, and put things away as soon as you’re done with them.</div>

You could buy all the stuff that’s in there for the price of the annual rental fee—and that doesn’t include the cost of the moving truck and your time. Plus I’m sorry, but the items you own are almost never worth as much as you think. And even if they are, who cares? That’s still not a good excuse to hold onto things you don’t use.</div>

My favorite tip for a roomier kitchen</h1>
<div style="line-height: 24px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px 0px 5px;">
...is to adjust cabinet shelves; it can create a lot more space. Also, get that popcorn machine, bread machine and the other huge appliances off your counter. If you don’t use it every week, store it in the attic or basement and get it out only when you need it. And do you really need all those plastic containers? Most people have cabinets full of them, but they only ever use a few. Figure out which ones you really use and donate the rest.</div>

Always load the dishwasher in an organized way. So instead of throwing all the silverware into the utensil box, put the forks in one area, the spoons in another, and the knives in another, and then when you’re unloading you just grab all the spoons and put them in the drawer.</div>

Go into your closet today and hang everything backward on the rod.</h1>

Once you wear something, hang it the normal way. A year from now, if you still have some things still hanging backward, you’re obviously not wearing them, so get rid of them.</div>

Here’s a simple way to transform your closet:</h1>
<div style="line-height: 24px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px 0px 5px;">
Switch to one type of hanger. It makes a huge difference. If you have varying kinds, they get caught on each other, they’re not the same height and you can’t see everything as well. I especially love the thin hangers that are covered in velvet. Because they’re super slim, you can fit more into your closet, and your clothes won’t slip off them.</div>

Maximize your closet space</h1>
<div style="line-height: 24px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px 0px 5px;">
by putting in an extra tension rod so you can hang shirts on top and skirts on the bottom, and always add hooks to hang jewelry and scarves if you have extra wall space. You can even put a chest of drawers in there if you have the room.</div>

It's probably in an office on the second floor or in the basement, and you never use it, right? Instead, set up some kind of a portable office near the area you spend most your time, which is probably the kitchen.</div>

You’re going to be more motivated to get an area organized</h1>
<div style="line-height: 24px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px 0px 5px;">
if you make some changes you can get excited about. When you’re doing your closet, for example, throw up a coat of new paint, put down some cool floor tiles or a rug, or add a beautiful fixture. It will make you want to keep it organized.</div>

Ditch the cardboard.</h1>

One client asked me to help carry a bunch of cardboard storage boxes into her newly renovated house. As I opened the first one, out came hundreds of cockroaches. That’s why you should never use cardboard. You name the pest; I assure you it loves cardboard. </div>

Being organized doesn’t mean everything is in its place; it means everything has a place. If you can get your house ready for a surprise guest in 30 minutes, then you’re organized. Believe it: I have not one, but two junk drawers in my kitchen—and I sleep just fine at night.</div>
