Speechless Sunday(Almost)--Even Walt Would Have to DECLUTTER to Sell

Staging is essential when staging a home and as any good REALTOR would have to suggest decluttering and packing a collection is essential before putting a house up for sale.

For the record, this isn't a potential client's home...it is just a quick photo we took on vacation of a display in One Man's Dream in Disney's Hollywood Studios in Orlando, FL...Yes, even Walt would have to declutter this room!

Wordless Wednesday (Almost)--Trying to Hide an Elephant?

Kind of hard not to spot this guy isn't it? Sometimes home sellers in an attempt to "stage" their home will try to camouflage the flaws with decorating. Putting a plant in front of a major crack in a wall or positioning a couch over a damaged wood flooring is not the best way to sell a home. It often looks no better than this guy hiding behind the tree. Buyers working with a good REALTOR will see through the smoke screen to the elephant in the room. Best advice is to make a proper repair from the get go!
