That was a bunch of great advise that you guys gave out there. So planning ahead and making some wise decisions about how you are going to do it for the best sale sound great!
You know Noel, I have wondered about something you maybe could give an answer to please, about staging?
I have a 3x5 card a stager sent to us when we listed our condo for sale last year. It was a picture of a condo at the same complex and they had taken out almost off of the furniture and put in one nice small table for two, with some flowers on it, then a picture on the wall. That was all there was in the living room area. Very minimistic look. It looked great to me! Question is, would/could someone restage their house with a few new items like that per room, using some of their existing furniture like beds and some furniture and things, at about a few grand cost for their house, rent out a storage unit, store their stuff and sell their house for many thousands more because all the gunk was out of the way and it looked just very clean lines and just "nice"? I know, tough call, but it has stayed in my head that this might be an option for us. Making it look so very minimal furniture or anything kind of a look/feel to it.
To the John and John realtors, I also have those thoughts of different realtors and how they make/help choose the listing prices. Didn't know if it was a good subject to bring up here though....but since John did, maybe that will be the next one to discuss.
I just hope that we hear from some who have taken some or all of the advise that would apply to their situation and it works out the best for them. I wish too that some that don't post often or lerk would come out and ask some questions or say if some of the advise helps them. It would make more folks post and sharing is what is is all about!
Aloha,
Lucy
