I went shopping for some good articles about staging a home. Here are some of the good resources I found for those of us who need a little help with attracting prospective buyers to our homes:
- Ardell's Shopping trip for staging a home: Ardell(Seattle Broker) took pictures of decorations she bought from TJ Maxx, World Market & Target; Great guide for those of you who are thinking of buying decorations on a fair budget (price range: $3, $7, $20 max)
"...The curtains are only $15 at World Market. They come in that orange twisted coil in a little bag of the same fabric, to create the wrinkle effect. We used the patterned ones behind the dining room table...."
- Lori Kim Polk's "The Importance of Curb Appeal": Lori talks about the most important aspect of staging and selling a home: Curb Appeal
"...Do you want to get out and see it? How does it look compared to the other homes in the neighborhood? These are questions you need to ask yourself when preparing your home for sale...."
- Jessica Torres "Staging your home 101": Jessica gives nine interesting ideas on sprucing up your home without spending a fortune"
"... Add a Nice Mailbox
As in real estate marketing; MAKE SURE TO STAND OUT AND BE BOLD!! For about $35 you can buy a nice colorful mailbox. For about $60 more, you can buy a nice wooden post for it..."
