Even if people don't consciously get turned off by an unappealing front entrance, they may subconsciously form an opinion against the house and then have trouble liking anything else about it.

I too have mixed up cleaning house with staging. Cleaning house is a given but staging often takes professional advice rented furniture , parking the dog somewhere else and making it easy to show. Thanks for a well written and informative article to help me get it straight. I too wrote one on staging and you will see on it I have the two separate jobs all intermixed. No wonder my seller is confused. Thanks Jill www.gotrealtyblog.com 10 top ways to get your home ready for sale This sheds a whole new light on the idea of staging.

Talk To A Lender First! by John Juarez http://bestplacerealestate.com/2008/05/01/avoid-shop-and-drop-talk-to-a-lender-first/#comment-26 Wed, 07 May 2008 18:51:33 +0000 http://bestplacerealestate.com/2008/05/01/avoid-shop-and-drop-talk-to-a-lender-first/#comment-26 It is VERY important for a buyer to know that they are qualified and under what terms. Many lenders are requiring an additional 5% down payment because of their fear of falling property values eroding equity. I also talked to a loan broker yesterday who said that many lenders he works with are requiring 20% down payments. A buyer must not only get preapproved before shopping but must stay in contact with their lender throughout the shopping period so that they will not be surprised by any changes in terms.
