Helping You Avoid the Biggest Mistake!

During the past month the Home & Garden TV channel ran a show entitled “25 Biggest Real Estate Mistakes”. HGTV brought together some of the top real estate experts in the U.S. to compile the definitive list of the biggest mistakes people make when buying and selling homes. The complete list can be found at HGTV.com (Check out #’s 18, 13, 7, 5 & 2)
The #1 mistake, according to HGTV, is Failing to Showcase Your Home and Make Small Cosmetic Changes. HGTV experts said, “When you are selling your house, you have to really look at it objectively and think about it from the viewpoint of the house hunter. Make minor enhancements to the house and maybe hire a professional stager to come and arrange your furniture. Staging is about decorating your house for the buyers’ taste, not yours.” One of HGTV’s experts said homestaging has been shown to increase the value of a home as much as 7%.
