Rainier Real Estate: Stage your Home!

Thursday, October 1st, 2009

Your favorite chair. You’ve had it for years. You have watched countless movies, read books, and viewed some amazing sporting events from the comfort of that chair. You have enjoyed the chair as you have entertained family and friends and it has served you well. Maybe it was even a family heirloom or a hand me down to start with. There may be a stain here or a tattered seam there. A blanket may even cover the especially tough to hide blemishes. If this sounds like a chair you have in your house, it may be time to retire it before you begin showing your home to prospective customers.

Now I’m not talking about refurnishing your entire house, just to pack it all up for your move. What I am talking about is using your best judgment and if you were considering replacing a worn out item, do it now before you begin showing your home. Pick out a piece that will fit in well with your new home and enjoy it now compared to later after you move.

I realize that things like this can be hard to deal with. A move is a major event and you may have grown accustomed to the comfort of certain pieces of furniture, but you need to realize that displaying your house as beautifully as possible is what is needed when selling your home. I will be glad to discuss my opinions regarding certain items in your home. I can always be reached in my office and please do not hesitate to call if you have any questions or concerns.
