As a Realtor, I see day in and day out the importance of staging your home to get the most money from your sale. For many people, it is a surprise as to the difference that staging can play in being able to sell a home, but in all reality, it makes perfect sense. The better your home looks, the higher the amount of money that it will likely sell for. More so, you're much likely to sell your home quicker if it's properly staged. Staging Pictures Courtesy of Ana Hitzel at AccentPositives.com  If you're thinking to yourself that staging your home will cost too much money, you need to consider the money that you could lose out on when reducing your selling price because your home fails to sell. Think about it. Even if staging your home costs a total of $2,000, this is much less than what yo... 06/04/2014

We understand that you want to sell your home on your own but have you consider what's involved?The #1 reason that most homeowners sell on their own is because they want to save the commission. I get that because who doesn't want to save money, but you have to ask yourselves are you really saving money and if so how much are you saving? Hear is something to think about. Do I want to save 6% by not paying a real estate agent or do I want to lose up to 20% by not using one. Studies have shown that For Sale by Owners lose up to 20% because the house is not marketed right.  As you have learned already if your home is For Sale by Owner now is that it's not easy selling a home. Let me tell you a secret, we as Realtors are not always sure we can sell the house, that's why we have expireds. Wha... 05/27/2014
