Setting the Mood & Staging the Home
Posted by McDonald Group Realtors on January 9, 2008 at 1:59 PMPut the trash cans, kids bikes and other toys etc in the garage. Keep the front of the house as uncluttered as possible. If your in a home without a garage, put that stuff around the back or side of the home.
As mentioned in a previous section, keep up with the yard maintenance or pay someone to do it, it’s a good investment while selling the home.
Neighbors. Is your neighbor storing a an old beat-up car in their driveway just a few feet from yours? Is their front yard a cluttered ridiculous mess? Ask them to take care of it, talk to them and in some cases I’ve heard of home sellers PAYING their neighbors to keep the front of their home clean and uncluttered. I know that’s not a great option, but if it solves the problem, it is an option right?
