Selling your house is a VERY BIG JOB.

 

It is one of your largest investments, if not the largest that  you will make. 

 

Why would you not want to invest a little to make a lot? Whether you have lived in your house for 5 years or 25 years you need to know 'where and what' will make your house more marketable. 

 

Dana J. Smithers is a Professional Redesign Stager who knows what it takes to get your house looking 'OPEN-HOUSE READY'. 

 

 

 

This event is always popular and the Before and After photos are astounding. You will gain a clear understanding of what the 'Must Do' list is all about for preparing your house for selling. If you are unfamiliar with the term 'house staging' you will need to attend this event! You will learn some practical tools that 'stagers' use to physically prepare a house so that it shows well and appeals to the greatest number of people.

 

To start you off, try this mantra: My home is for living in, my house is for selling. You have to start 'detaching' from the emotions that you feel about your home, and treat the selling of  your house like a business. For many it is their retirement fund!

Client Testimonial:

 

"We followed all your suggestions - we replaced a few light fixtures and the wall oven in the kitchen as it had seen better days. We cleaned out the kitchen cupboards and pre-packed a lot of items there, as well as removing and packing some clothing from the closets. The bedding in the bedrooms was all very new, so that didn't have to be replaced. We did buy new towels (white!) and bathroom accessories, removed family photos, and changed some of the artwork. We cleaned out the garage and storage areas and put our pre-packed items and some other things in a rented storage locker. We bought a new door mat and had a couple of really gorgeous planters at the front entry. Other than that we made sure the yard was looking great, washed the windows, cleaned the carpets, kept the interior (and exterior) of the house immaculate and always had lots of fresh flowers inside. We were careful about what we cooked so there were no odors, and whenever there was a showing, I took our cat out with me and removed her litter box, food, etc. Our realtor said almost everyone commented on how clean the house was, it does make a difference.
 
I'm sure the combination of all those things contributed to our quick sale, just as you said they would! Although I found all the information in your presentation valuable, I think the item that had the most impact for me was to determine who your target buyer would be, and aim the changes you make toward them. In our case our target buyer was a young family, so we changed some art and accessories and stored some of our antiques.(Home Sense, like you suggested, is great for cheap trendy art and accessories!) And it was a young family that bought it.
 
Thanks again for a fun and informative presentation - it helped make selling our home much less stressful!"
