If you are planning to sell your house, the time to put in the work is BEFORE the property is listed. In my previous post, Sell Your Home: A Series of Posts, Part 2, I discuss how important it is to look at every aspect of your home with a critical eye. The posts below deal with very specific areas and may help you to get started with this process.

My business is built around referrals. If you live in the Northern Virginia area and are considering selling your house, I would welcome the opportunity to discuss my approach to preparation, pricing and marketing. As an accredited Home Staging Realtor, I believe that much of the work of selling your home has to be done before the sign goes up on your house. If you have family, friends or colleagues who plan to list their property, I would be honored if you would pass on my name and contact information.

Holly,
This is certainly a great post for your clients. Great effort!
This is a great series, Holly. How have you utilized them... as a handout, weekly emails, depending on the client?
I'm loving this series Holly!
Keep 'em coming.
They should be required reading for all homebuyers....and some agents too!
