Depersonalize, Depersonalize, Depersonalize!
Buyers need to visualize themselves in a property. Take down all personal photos, certificates and personal collections. People are easily distracted in today's busy world. Take down those trophies and photos and replace with neutral art!

HumorousTips from Carol Johnson
Humorous Top 10 Tips for ASP Stagers
By Carol Johnson, ASP
Founder of the Recruiting Network
“Let Me Tell You How I Work”…. Or pay the price later.
Q-Tip Clean doesn’t mean picking them up off of the bathroom floor.
The wrong colors can cost the sellers a lot of green.
Occasionally clients interpret “Clutter Free” to mean accessorizing with Free junk.
When staging for the holidays keep inflatable yard décor to three items, small, medium and large.
Investing in ASP Staging is cheaper than flushing dollar bills down the toilet.
ASP’s should make it a policy to have a policy about policies and changing policies.
When buyers see spots on the carpet they think the roof leaks.
It is against the law to say there is a law about a law that isn’t a law.
Staging with “hairy balls” increases offers by 97%.
Author’s Note: At the Recruiting Network, we believe that ASP staging is good for the public and the designated ASP Real Estate Agents and ASP Stagers who serve them. We encourage brokers to include ASP staging and training in their standard operating procedures because the public is learning to expect it as a result of expanded media coverage and television network programming. If these 10 items are not funny to you, you need to catch up on Barb’s latest ASP Staging course. Smile, me……

Don't forget the landscape!
Make sure the mailbox is clean, straight and doesn't have any rust.
Paint the front door a fresh coat of paint.
Remove cob webs.
Use a bleach/ water combination to remove mold from decks/porches/ etc....
Fresh mulch smells good and looks good!
Check to see if you need to powerwash the house or roof.
Stain the deck if it needs a facelift.
Add some colorful flowers to the front of the house.
