Staging tips for home sellers: The Yard

The yard of your home is very important when you are trying to sell. Everyone makes a snap judgement about your home as soon as they drive up. It's a harsh reality but it is reality. Make your yard look as appealing as possible by keeping the lawn decorations to a minimum. Remove any decorations that are not in "season" ( no Christmas in July please) and keep the cutesy ornaments to only a few tasteful ones. Believe it or not, some people get freaked out by an entire army of funky gnomes and fake animals in frozen poses. You want to appeal to as many buyers as possible and a hundred different wooden signs with funny sayings is not the way to do it. So box up those lawn ornaments and save them for your next home.
