"Here's
how home sellers can create buzz and move their listing"
Finishing
repairs, freshening paint, clearing clutter and staging the home for a wide range of potential buyers has become increasingly
important in this tough sellers market. The superficial condition of the home reveals how well it's been taken care
of by the seller. O'Connor says her members report some 20% of listings being professionally staged versus 5% a few
years ago.
"It doesn't cost a fortune," she
said. "Consider it like getting your car detailed." Pam O'Connor, president and CEO of Chicago-based Leading Real Estate Companies,
a trade group for independent real estate agencies.
"A redesigner might save you plenty on your redecorating project"
Handing over a home to an objective outsider for a few hours may save thousands of dollars
otherwise spent on new furniture and accessories. As trained redesigners mix and match items from several spots in the house,
group accessories for impact and rehang artwork, clients are reintroduced to underutilized spaces and their nearly
forgotten possessions long relegated to storage. Others learn that limiting display items to a few favorites or rotating
accessories is an effective fix.

to the house and maybe hire a professional stager to come and arrange your furniture. Staging is about decorating your house
for the buyers' taste, not yours. A great place to start is with the front of the home and the main entryway. Home staging is designed to increase the potential selling price and reduce the amount of
time the house stays on the market.
