If you are planning on putting your home on the market, you probably know that your property needs to be as clean, clutter-free and in as good repair as possible, inside and out. But you can further distinguish your home from the competition by having your home staged for sale. An important distinction between staging and decorating a home is the goal of decorating is to personalize a space, whereas the goal of staging is to depersonalize it.  The smart real estate professional understands that staging a home before placing it on the market will help sellers get top dollar in the sale of their property. When sellers have too much furniture, too much clutter, strong odors, and too much of their unique tastes and interests on display all over the house, potential buyers have a hard time looking past all that and envisioning themselves living there. Unlike most realtors, Joy Rice provides practical tips to stage each room of the house as well as how to tackle exterior challenges to increase curb appeal.    Contact Joy and her team of specialists to discuss a personalized marketing plan for your home by calling the office at (214) 662-5588.
