5 Stars Staging Your Home to Sell
Absolutely must-have for anyone contemplating selling their home. Terrific and easy step-by-step methods to increase the sale of your home. Good reading. Don’t leave your home without it.
3 Stars Same old basics
This bookk covers the same old ground of clean up/clear out/ keep it neutral. Other reviewers have said that it gave them ideas for decorating, but all I got out of it was not to use wall paper or decorative painting (faux finishes). Otherwise, it’s basic: carry out the trash, send the pets to camp, clean out odors, leave closets half-empty, and so forth. Nothing new, and certainly nothing about decorating to sell.
4 Stars Excellent Suggestions – quick & easy read
If you are planning to sell your home, this book is a must. Lots of excellent suggestions laid out in a step by step process. This would be a great resource for real estate agents to give to their listing clients as well.
4 Stars Staging Your Home to Sell
Good basic book, as a Realtor in a tough market every tool and benefit you can offer to a client makes you more valuable. I recently added an AHS designation (Accredited Home-Staging Specialists) that is a direct result of reading this and another book on staging. Realtors, if your office doesn’t offer some type of basic staging services or has access to a company that does you should learn it.
