Home selling is not really new to most people. The real estate is one of the many saving graces the slumping economic conditions has. However a property will never be sold without the proper house staging and presentation. And to help make your home pleasing you need to make sure that you de-clutter your personal belongings, set up the furniture and be certain that your house is presentable. The house shouldn;t only be in the proper location but it should also be tidy and properly arranged.
Have you considered selling your house? As important as asking price is staging your home. What are five ways to stage your home to sell?
When staging a home it needs to be set up on the outside as well as the inside to help sell it quickly. Your home should look appealing on the outside to entice people to come in and take a closer look at the inside. If it does not have curb appeal, many would-be buyers will not give it a second look. Buyers will first see the outside of your home so make sure it is maintained well and kept neat and attractive at all times. The inside of your home should have a neutral fresh coat of paint on the walls. Any clutter or personal items must be cleared out of the house so that the rooms are more open and show what type of space that they offer. The windows should have neutral clean window coverings that let the light in giving the room a fresh feeling. The buyers need to know that you are not hiding anything so opening up the blinds and curtains is a good idea for many reasons.
REMEMBER THAT IF YOU DONT HAVE PHOTOS, PEOPLE WON'T COME TO LOOK. People dont want to waste time just looking at property without photos.
So declutter and take photos.
Even if the place is old, its still better than NO PHOTOS. Call me at 347-249-9884.
I'll show you how to sell.

THINGS TO CONSIDER WHEN RENTING OUT YOUR PROPERTY
By Steve Hirsch, Broker for
Geoffrey Stevens Realty
Undeniably, rental business can be adjudged as the most lucrative; however, there are certain factors that need to be considered to be sure of its success. As a landowner, one has to take the responsibility of not only taking good care of their property in the best possible manner, but ultimately to secure their income. That can be achieved only when the landowners have primarily carried out a systematic screening of their possible tenants.
If one is concerned about inviting good tenants for renting out or leasing their property, then they need to make sure that they are bailing themselves out of working with reckless tenants. All those owners who prioritize having good tenants in their property, they can expect to see their business flourish. Here are some useful tips that they should focus on while screening or inviting their tenants.
Property owners might think that by placing rental ads in local newspaper and real estate journals they can serve the intention of promoting their abode well. Nevertheless, this tool can be used as a method of having an initial screening of the potential leaseholder. If the promotions specify a target clientele, or particular location, amenities and facilities available and the terms and conditions of tenancy, then the landlords would be indirectly inviting a particular cluster of renters. In a way, one would be downsizing the probable tenants who might be interested to rent or lease their property. This way, they can somehow manage to avoid encountering undeserving tenants. Moreover, if one is renting out a property on the basis of special terms and conditions, then they should include such information while placing ads. This could be quite helpful to convey the message that the property caters to a specific group of tenants.
Landowners should prepare their qualification checklist prior to arranging appointments and interviewing their potential tenants. They should make sure to enquire for any pertinent documents, such as identification papers that contain relevant information, including the name, address and contact details, SSN and credit reports, certification from their current job, and much more. If landlords want to check the legitimacy of the information provided by the leaseholder, then they can utilize online resources that offer extensive assessment of a renter’s background. In most cases, the service providers might offer to provide such reports just within few minutes, few hours or within a day.
When interviewing an applicant, one should be careful in observing some tell-tale signs. One should be able to judge reliability, tolerance, hygiene and other special attributes to be clear how the applicant is going to treat their property, relate to them as their tenant and comply with the predetermined tenancy terms and conditions. Landlords need to be very careful of those applicants who seem to be fraudulent or suspicious and trying to hide some information. They should also be wary of dealing with those who might be showing their eagerness to move in within a day or two, without contacting their previous employer or landlord. However, one should not reject an applicant then and there. They should take out some time for research and verify the legitimacy of the documents provided by the interested applicants. If the loopholes are still left unanswered, then it is time to politely turn down the request of an applicant. Lastly, such elemental tenant screenings should be conducted to provide a fair chance to everyone to rent or lease the property.

By Steve Hirsch

Selling a house in this competitive world is not an easy job. All the sellers cannot be fortunate enough to get good buyers for their house quickly. If you are among those who have been waiting for a good potential buyer for a long time, then it is time for you to make some improvements, not only in your house, but also in your marketing efforts. Given below are some of the ways which can help you improve the chance of quick sale of your house, and will also guide you how you can use your property for good, till the time you get the buyers.
Rather than sitting and waiting for the potential buyers, it is recommended to give some time to your house, and make some improvements, so that it can allure the buyers. Renovation and redesigning are two important factors here. However, these do not refer to any major expenditure, as even a single coat of paint or the addition of a new cabinet or a new entrance gate can give an amazing look to your house. You have to flaunt the best aspects of your house to make it look more inviting. In simple words, you have to give a reason to the buyers why they should leave other homes for sale in the same area and pay a visit to your home and this can only be done by making your home look visually appealing.
One main reason, for a house to be in the market for a very long time, is the incorrect price tag. The price of a property should always be as per the market trends. As a buyer definitely compares the rates and the amenities offered in other properties, thus an incorrect price tag makes the whole deal unattractive for the buyer. If you really want a quick sale, then it is recommended to give a careful thought to the price tag. You can be competitive with your price by making some changes in it. There are many buyers who actually wait for price deduction. Who knows, that after a little deduction you immediately have a buyer at your doorstep.
If you are among those sellers, who use the message boards, forums, and social media sites etc to advertise their property, then it is your duty to check that all information is correctly passed to the buyer. Do check for all the photographs uploaded. The pictures are meant to show the beauty and the functionality of the house. Make sure there are no pictures where one can see clutter or unattractive arrangements in your house. If there are any such pictures, then delete them immediately, before they become a risk for your house sale.
Getting a buyer is not an easy job, although following the above mentioned simple tips will surely help you get the best buyer for your house and that too quickly. For the meantime you can also go for renting out your property. It can help you in two ways, as you can earn some income and also use this as a marketing scheme to show your property to the buyers.
