Before your open house, do some last-minute prep. For those in need of help, Homestaging.fizber.com has contact information for professionals well versed in the art of making a home look appealing. If you’re not eager to shell out a thousand or more dollars to bring in a pro, take advantage of a few specific tips offered at home staging hubs.

First, clean up clutter and tone down loud wall-paint colors. Then put away personal photos and other chotchkes (so the buyer can more easily imagine him or herself living there), and set up some flowers so the place smells nice and feels summery. Even if you’re in a rush to cash in because you fear a looming bubble burst, staging experts argue that taking a few days to set up your home for display can mean a 5% to 10% difference in price, and can cut down the number of weeks a home sits on the market.

When your sale goes through, save your contacts and research. Most sellers will one day sell again.
