Coeur d'Alene, no gnomes are good gnomes...

Daily Tweet Breakdown

Home staging tip-no gnomes, fake deer, flamingos, or outdoor chotchke's. They say YOU, not future homeowner....

Putting your house on the market means taking YOU out of the equation. If your house has too much of YOU everywhere, your buyers won't be able to envision themselves in YOUR space. All your chotchke's need to be pre-packed. They are too personal and buyers will get too caught up in them and not in your house.

Believe it or not, fake deer and flamingos are not appealing to everyone. We are trying to market your house to as many people as possible, so as much of YOU that we can remove, the better. Your yard is often the first impression a buyer will encounter. Make sure it is appealing to everyone by removing all your 'yard decor'. Remember, it's a yard (read; grass,flowers,shrubs,trees,etc.), not a place to display merchandise. Make it memorable for the the right reasons. You don't want buyers remembering your house/yard because of all the fake chotchke's scattered around it.
