5 Tips for Making Vacant Homes Feel Less Vacant

2009-05-24T19:25:00Z

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.
