Those of you who have been reading My Staged Life over the last week have surely learned many valuable tips. Those of you who are just tuning in, please rewind and take a few minutes to catch up.

Selling a house can be a daunting task and the tiniest mistake can be costly, which is why there are professionals out there to help you. Make use of their services; their fees will be only a portion of the higher sale price of your home. This, coupled with a much quicker market-to-sale time, should make the decision to hire an accredited real-estate stager, along with a reputable, licensed realtor, an easy one.

One last detail before you invite your first prospective buyer into your home. You just painted − and you can tell by the smell. Place a couple cinnamon sticks and a few whole cloves in a pie tin with two cups of water. Put this in the oven at 250F for a couple hours before your home’s next owner arrives; this creates a warm, inviting environment for your audience. Be sure to turn the oven off, allowing time for it to cool before showing the house − don’t leave the pie tin in the oven. Once it cools, cover it and put it in the fridge, you might need it again if this buyer thinks your house is just too perfect.
