5 Tips for Making Vacant Homes Feel Less Vacant

1.  Rent furniture - Staged homes tend to sell for more and in less time.  Depending on your market and      budget, renting furniture for keyrooms can make a big difference.  If renting doesn't work, leaving a few pieces of furniture can provide a sense of space.

2.  Keep it comfortable - Leave the utilities on and keep the temperature at a comfortable level.

3.  Remove ghost lines - Hide the effects of furniture.  Paint the walls the same color, shampoo the carpet, and replace rugs so there is no evidence of what used to be there.

4.  Hire a maid - Make sure the home remains fresh amd clean.

5.  Keep up curb appeal - Hire a lawn maintenance service.  Make sure the lawn gets watered and the landscaping stays alive.
