Comment on Home Staging for Real Estate Sales - Part 1: Preparation

J Tar — Mon, 23 Jul 2007 12:58:21 GMT

Home Staging includes anything having to do with the home and that definitely includes Landscaping. In fact, Landscaping is one of the more important aspects of Home Staging -- and Home Selling.

If we could track the journey of a potential home buyer of a specific property, we would find that a lot of decision making happens outside -- and even when the real estate agent and home seller is not present. Picture a couple driving by the property - stopping out-front and looking at the home. What is it that they are looking at? The outside! And the landscaping better help show the house -- no overgrown shrubs, dead plants, uncut grass. It does't need to be elaborate - just clean and neat.

Home buyers are always looking for that something called curb appeal. Outside they are imagining themselves in the home and while they can only imagine what is inside, if the outside doesn't look appealing, the inside won't matter because they may never get that far.

This is very helpful stuff. Just wanted to add that finding realtors that will help you buy in this manner is rare. Most do not have an investment awareness.
