CREATIVE HOME STAGING
HOME STAGING IS RECOMMENDED EVEN IN A HOT MARKET
A seller in a hot market has a better chance of selling a home "as-is" without having to make major updates. Whether you, as a seller, make any significant fixes to the property before listing is best decided through a discussion with your agent to evaluate comparable properties in your neighborhood. If you want to attract multiple offers on your property right after listing it, staging is probably the number one way to make that happen. In a hot market, buyers need to move quickly and are driven by first impressions and emotions. There is no better way to make someone fall in love with your house than to stage it. Giving it a "wow" factor will distinguish it from the rest of the pack and give it an even better advantage over any other homes that might go on the market at the same time.If you can't afford to stage, at the bare minimum the property should be de-cluttered and thoroughly cleaned in preparation for showings.

Too much stuff? If you are moving ahead of selling..that's great! If not, many items may need to end up in a temporary storage facility. De-cluttering and depersonalize your home will make it fresh and inviting.
