The correct staging of your home can go a long way towards achieving a successful sale at the highest price. Here are some tips:

Enhance drive-up appeal by removing clutter, cleaning stains off driveway and touching up the exterior paint where needed. 

Have a nicely trimmed and edged lawn and remove dead and dying plants. Consider adding color and hanging baskets or pots of flowers.

Remember to clean your oven and other major appliances. Sparking clean windows let the sun shine through. Make sure that your bathrooms shine, too.
 
Give the carpets a good cleaning to remove stains and odors, or even re-carpet if you feel it's needed.

Cracked and peeling paint and smudges on the walls are easy fixes that, once taken care of, can give the home afresh, new look.

Eliminate clutter and put away small kitchen appliances and photographs.Organize your closets.

Open your curtains and put on all of the lights. If weather permits light your fireplace. It will give your home a cozy feel.

Make sure that if you have any pets they are locked up in a safe place. Many buyers are uncomfortable with animals.
