Consider these cost effective quick tips. They will save you time and money, make the selling process a whole lot easier for both you and your agent, increase traffic to your listing and help you, the seller, obtain top dollar for your property!
1. Declutter, declutter, declutter! Clear off those countertops, gets those bills and other paperwork off your tables, clear off the bookshelves and clean up the toys. Your home will appear cleaner and less cramped almost instantly. And you'll feel better too! A decluttered home = a clear mind.
If you are not using something on a daily basis, pack it up right away! If you haven't used it in over six months, consider whether you really need it at all. Sell or donate any items you are not using on a regular basis.
2. Clean, but don't just clean, CLEAN! Have an honest look at your home. When was the last time you scrubbed down all the hard surfaces in the kitchen or bathroom? Economical vinegar is the best cleaner (and doesn't hurt the environment!) for cupboard doors, drawer fronts, stainless steel and all types of floor surfaces. A consciencious buyer will be opening cupboard doors, will yours pass the test?
3. Call in the stagers at Phancy Design! It has been proven, time and time again that a staged property will sell faster and for more money.

Staging sets your house apart from your competition making it appear more move-in ready and getting you more money!!
4. Call in your realtor! It will be a pleasant experience for both you and your realtor now that your home is ready to be photographed and showcased! Most people start their home search on the internet and with your fabulous home all prepped and ready, your home will stand out and get the attention it needs.
