Russell & Ward

Over the years we have developed a keen interior design sense. We frequently work with clients in staging their houses and providing the right feel, expert advice and even furniture.

Why staging is so important

When you consider that the average purchaser spends only 20 minutes in your house before buying, first impressions count. Staged houses sell faster and for more money than un-staged houses. Placing your house for sale on the market, means you're competing for the buyer's dollars against other homes in your area. Selecting an agent like Allan Ward can help you win a buyer's confidence.

The basics

Floors to windows must be spotless. Remember to clean the oven and other major appliances.

Eliminate the offensive odors. Remove clutter.

Put away small kitchen appliances and other items that are sitting on countertops and tables.

Remove photographs from table-tops.

Organize the closets.

Outside Tasks:

Clean the drain gutters.Buyers almost always comment if gutters are full of leaves and it makes them question other maintenance issues.

Store or organize items that might make the yard look messy.

Make your front entry inviting. Decorate it, paint the door. It's the first look at your house, so make it good!
