Preparing or staging your home for sale does not need to be overly involved.  A home seller can do as little or as much as they want.  Often, a through cleaning, packing up clutter and unused furniture can go a long way towards making a good first impression.


Instead of the discarded bed frame, a book and a small tea pot might solidify the impression that this is a cozy spot to relax.


As a real estate agent, I am paid to sell a home, not a drum set; this 1930's character home has a beautiful set of French doors and the fireplace also looks very appealing.  The drums, and everything on the mantle detract from this home's charm. I can't help but wonder, when they were "pointing and clicking" what were they seeing?  And why post these photos in the MLS?
