Leave It For the Buyer To Clean Up

August 12th, 2010 · 3 Comments

No sense cleaning up this house and selling it for more money.  Just let the buyer pay less and handle it him/herself.  Makes sense, right?  30 minutes of labor expenses to clean it up versus selling it for $5,000 less than the asking price.

Looks like a cat in the window but it’s plastic, paper, or fabric.

Welcome To Candy Cane Lane

July 29th, 2010 · 10 Comments

Another home needing staging advice and assistance.

Christmas decorations (lights, candy canes) still up in May.  Half dirt, half grass lawn.  Weight bench in the front yard.

Christmas tree is up.  Lots of family photos.  Cutesy sayings (”I Love You 2 Gore”??) (”Love Always & Forever”).  If they cleared everything out but the furniture, this would be a very nice room (nice floor, nice paint, nice size).

In case they get lost, the signage tells them the next room is the family room.  [Editor: I blocked out their name.]

Very dark family room.

They painted the walls with black paint.

When buyers see the clothes rack, they will assume the closets are too small.  Cluttered dresser doesn’t help.

There’s a big tree in the child’s room.

One of those glass vessel sinks.  But you can see all the plumbing underneath.

They enclosed the patio so that they could fill it with clutter.

More junk from another angle.
