Preparing your home to sell - A must if you hope to sell quicker and for the maximum market value

This is the time of year my phone starts ringing from sellers wanting me to list their home.  This week I met with a really sweet couple who have a home to sell in Sun City Grand.  They have a very nice home with some great features. 

The problem?  The lady of the house is a collector of dolls and figurines and they were EVERYWHERE!  Before I said a word she knew she was going to have to get rid of them but I could tell she really didn't want to and wasn't completely buying into my telling her that buyers would have a tough time seeing past her things.

Preparing a home to sell can be a very inconvenient undertaking but I can't stress enough how important it is.  The few times I have let clients have their way or haven't insisted they define spaces better, were the times the listings languished on the market.

Below I have included a few clips from Designed to Sell on HGTV, a show that should be required viewing for anyone thinking about selling their home.
