Sellers don’t always need to rent furniture and accessories to stage their homes. Depending on furniture, accessories and layout condition, a few tweaks can transform an average room into a showroom.

Remember to clean and pre-pack any personal photos as well as anything not in use. By depersonalizing your home it will appeal to more buyers.

Now the fun part – showcasing your home. If a new matching set is not in your budget, consider using just a comforter, but remember to steam out the wrinkles. Good luck on your quick sale!

It is a great idea to tackle any type of project like this before you list your home for sale because it says to your potential buyers you take care of your home. Check it out!

Thank you so much to everyone who helped with organizing a large donation to the Women In Need Society. There are a lot of us with a little less clutter in our homes now. Interested in donating more? Call 403-252-3826.

The goal was to collect 10 large boxes full of clothing, children’s items, household items etc. to donate to the Women In Need Society. Not only was this goal reached but we were able to collect 12 bags, 7 boxes, a TV and a stereo.

With such a success, I have a feeling I will be organizing another pickup just in time for spring cleaning.
