Staging Your Home: Personal Photos DISTRACT when you are Selling your Home!

Personal photos of your family are not only very distracting when you are showing your home but do you REALLY want someone you don't know being privy to your personal family photos, to your CHILDREN?

Well, Teresa Meyer-Home Staging gives you some alternate choices:

"...when you are SELLING....as stunning as these pictures and wall displays are, they are DISTRACTING to your Buyers..........."
"So... now the BIG question. What do we do with these beautiful photo displays on the walls?"

"Do we take them all down, patch the wall/re-paint and stare at a blank boring wall?"
"Do we add a piece of artwork instead?"
"What if we have A LOT of walls with photos?"
"Don't despair! There is a "Staging Technique" that works quite well."

"One of the easiest and cheapest ways to "neutralize" those family photos is to replace the photos inside."

"Here's how in 3 Easy Steps:

I tell my clients to go to Google.com and then to "Images". Do a search for "Black and White landscaping/nature/trees/flowers....." whatever you prefer or works in that particular room. And it can be in "color" too if it works better for that space.

Once you find what you're looking for, print it off in the appropriate size.

Put it over the existing photo in the frame and Ta-Dah!....you have a nice, neutral photo."
