Staging Your Monterey Home for Sale - Exterior
“Staging” does not always mean hiring a professional stager to re-do your home. There 
are a number of things you or your Real Estate Agent can do yourselves. Start with the outside as curb appeal is major in any kind of market. Drive by your home, walk across the street to look at it and then pull up to the curb and pretend you are a buyer. What do you see?
Such things as a new welcome mat, new address numbers, the porch light and of course the front door are very important to make your home appealing. Is the paint in good condition? Are the bushes trimmed and tidy and the front yard and other landscaping green and in good condition. Make sure bushes are trimmed away from the windows to allow light inside.
Put away garbage cans, toys, sports equipment and anything else that doesn’t belong there or that doesn’t help enhance your home. Is there enough color around the front door and front exterior of your home. Consider adding a pot of colorful flowers by the front door.
These sound like small things, but can considerably enhance the look of your home. Read my section on tips for Sellers for other ideas.
