Just remember, though, if a house isn't competitively priced, it makes no difference what else you do to prepare! I've seem gorgeously-staged and cleaned-up homes sit idle for more than a year because the owner had an unrealistic view of what the house was really worth.

This is a good one for those who are planning to sell their house. Organizing is the most important thing.. It's careful planning and knowing how to professionally spruce up your home that will send home buyers scurrying for their checkbooks. Nice article!

I agree that the objective opinion of a stager or even an honest real estate agent can be helpful in giving you a true evaluation. Overall I think folks are in for a big surprise if they think they can just put it on the market without thinking through some of these things. It might sell, but it may be there for a while.

So true that the house needs to look like no one is living there. We had young kids at the time and that was tough. We may know that we're not supposed to live there, but tell that to kids! There are people out there who prep houses for sale, I believe they're called "stagers". They come in and make suggestions on what to rearrange and what to get rid of. It's probably a good idea to pay for this service since most of us are less than objective when it comes to our homes. It's kind of like getting an opinion of your home from a stranger, which is exactly what's needed. One other thing--smells! A pleasant smell in the house can endear people to it immediately, a foul one can turn them off. The old realtor trick is to bake cookies or boil cinnamon when you're having an open house or the house will be shown to prospects. Makes the house smell like home, and that's part of how we experience things. .-= Kevin@OutOfYourRut´s last blog ..<a href="http://outofyourrut.com/blog/2010/02/08/7-reasons-super-bowl-monday-is-the-day-to-start-a-diet/" rel="nofollow">7 Reasons Super Bowl Monday is THE Day to Start a Diet</a> =-.
