Selling your San Francisco Home in the San Francisco Real Estate Market can lead to multiple lucrative offers if you stage your San Francisco Home in an appealing way to the San Francisco Real Estate Buyer. Any time or money invested in the staging of your San Francisco home will pay back tenfold! Here are some tips on successfully staging your San Francisco home (Inside your San Francisco Home & Outside Your San Francisco Home) to get the most offers for your San Francisco home:

INSIDE

• DECLUTTER – Remove all unnecessary objects and keep decorative objects to a minimum. In the kitchen of your San Francisco home, rid it of objects & appliances that you do not use clear fronts of messages, pictures, etc. In the bathroom of your San Francisco home also remove any unnecessary items from countertops, tubs, shower stalls and commode tops - keep only your most needed items in one small group on the counter. Coordinate towels to one or two colors only.

• DOWNSIZE FURNITURE – Rearrange or remove some of your furniture from your San Francisco home into a storage unit. It is imperative that you pare down as much as possible to make rooms appear larger.

• PAINT WALLS – Patch and paint walls in a neutral color in your San Francisco home. Refrain from painting everything white - white walls have that sanitarium ambiance that is no longer the rage. Take down or rearrange personal pictures or objects on walls. Buyers need to be able to envision themselves in the house, this is hard when there is a picture of your Aunt Lois and Uncle Mel displayed above the fireplace!

• REFINISH THE FLOORS – San Francisco Real Estate Buyers will be impressed to walk into an San Francisco home with floors that pop. Buyers like that new home feel. Remove carpet that is covering hardwood, no matter what the condition of the wood. Carpet is just not fashionable. Have the wood floors refinished before painting the house, the dust from sanding will ruin a fresh paint job.

• UPDATE – Replace outdated fixtures. Mini blinds should be updated by being replaced with sheer drapery panels that allow light in and soften rooms. Where ever there is Formica in your San Francisco home, replace it with stone, stay away from any stone with pink veins.

• CLEAN – Steam Clean carpets or drapes in your San Francisco Home. It is also a good idea to clean all your windows in your San Francisco Home. There are cleaning professionals who exclusively provide pre-sale cleanings. They are expensive and worth every penny.

• CREATE ATMOSPHERE – Leave on certain lights during the day. During San Francisco home previews turn on all lights and lamps. Strategically place fresh flowers and plants and plants throughout the house and have light music on during viewings. This creates a positive atmosphere for the Buyer and they will leave your house with an optimistic feeling for the Buyer and they will leave your house with an optimistic feeling about your San Francisco home.

OUTSIDE

• CLEAN – Move all garbage cans, discarded wood scraps, extra building materials, etc., into the garage or rented storage unit.

• MAINTENANCE – Check gutters for roof moss and dry rot and make sure they are swept and cleaned on your San Francisco home.

• GARDENING – Prune bushes and trees and remove any foliage that is blocking windows. Weed and then mulch all planting areas or shrubs. Have your yard spruced up and stage it too. Create space outside that extend the living space of your San Francisco home. Create a dining area, a reading nook, and fill the yard with colorful plants.

• DECLUTTER – Just like you did inside your San Francisco home, declutter the outside of your San Francisco home by clearing patios or decks of all small items (such as small planters, flower pots, charcoal, barbeques, toys, etc). Rent a small storage unit for these items.

• PAINT – At a minimum, paint the front door and trim. This is the first thing a potential buyer will see. You want to make a good first impression with an San Francisco home that has amazing curb appeal.

Finally and most importantly, hire an San Francisco real estate agent AND make sure you don't overpay on real estate commissions. Be sure your agent will spend a healthy portion of the commission on marketing and is willing to roll up their sleeves and work for you. There is no point in going the extra mile on the work suggested above if you don't have professional representation and exceptional advertising for your San Francisco home. A good place to start is Maison Nouveau – a San Francisco Real Estate Agency with superior professional service and low commissions of only 2%.
