Staging

Homeowners, listen up… staging your home is a valuable step when preparing your home for sale Below are the top 5 tips to pay attention to when staging your home for sale.

Clean! Clean! Clean! Buyers notice a dirty home and may take it as a sign that the home is not well maintained.
Less is more. Declutter and start packing away things that will not be missed. You want buyers to picture their own belongings in each room.
Polish up landscaping. We’re talking about curb appeal!! Make buyers want to come inside to see all your home has to offer!
Repaint with warm inviting colors. Buyers will find your home to be move-in ready!
Update light fixtures, vanities, and window treatments. Stay away from too-trendy designs, you want to appeal to all buyers.

What is the MLS?

The Multiple Listings Service (MLS) is a service provided by real estate brokers to better serve our clients. It is a tool for marketing and listing exposure, a database for real estate appraisers and for preparation of market value reports.

All the important information about your home are input, such as the size, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, and any special features. From here listing data is syndicated to broker sites and websites such as Realtor.com, Zillow, and Trulia where buyers are actively searching.

Brokers participating in the MLS list all the homes they have for sale and agree to share in the sales commission. The big advantage to you is that every single broker and agent participating in the MLS has an incentive to sell your home. This effectively puts every agent in the area to work selling your home! The first place a buyers agent looks is always the MLS. There is simply no better way to gain instant and widespread exposure than listing it on the MLS.
