Real estate authorities say if 10 buyers have viewed your house and you haven't had an offer, then something is wrong. It might be the listing price, but it could be that you're just not turning heads when potential buyers show up at your door.
We've compiled a list of tips and tricks from real estate and staging experts to get your house on the road to sold.
The basics:
• Tempt buyers with well-kept landscaping and an inviting front door.
• Take down the family photos so the buyer can imagine her family in your house.
• Remove all the "extra" furniture. Empty out that room so it will look spacious.
• Get the garage spotless. And don't park your cars there on open house day.
• Before anyone comes in, make sure you pick up all the mess and make the beds.
