Real Estate News ? Home Staging a Horror Show for the ...

Home Staging is the art of rearranging and dressing a home to make it more appealing to prospective buyers. The whole purpose of home staging is to achieve a neutral but inviting look that will highlight all the selling points of a house and make the potential clients forget about the less desirable details, thus covering a wide range of tastes and therefore buyers.

And then again you might not want to sell your house and just want to scare potential clients away, in which case home staging also helps if it?s turned into a horror show, and here is the way to do it:

Do no gardening for at least three or four weeks. You want buyers to be overcome with horror, not the joy of a well-kept, fairy-tale garden.

Don?t you dare mend anything that?s broken around the house ? broken windows and doors falling off their hinges always give a house a horror movie look.

Cleaning should be a thing of history ? best forgotten. Your visitors should have dust in their lungs to fill up a mile-long road when they leave, and enough cobwebs in their hair to make a nice cap. If they still make it to the kitchen, make sure you show them your dirty dishes collection ? they?re going to love that.

Keep every room as dull and dreary as possible. Leave lights and lamps off, close the drapes and leave the trees to block out the sun. This way the sale of your home will be as good as dead.

It would be a great idea if your visitors couldn?t walk through the house without stepping on a cat?s tail or stumbling on a sleeping dog, so ask your neighbors to do the neighborly thing and lend their pets to you for the day.

Do not clean the bathroom, no one is going to use it are they? Leave the ring round the bath and the mildew in the shower ? at least it adds some color!

Close all the windows the week before show day, and spend the week cooking pungent foods and smoking cigars. Oxygen masks are back in fashion.

Bug is the word of the day. People just go crazy for a bug-infested house, so don?t waste any time in filling it. Organize an open-doors day for the pesky little creatures and lure them in with refreshments.

There are two sides to hell and you need to show your clients both. If it?s cold outside turn off the heat and soon your house will be as cold as a grave or the North Pole. If on the other hand it?s hot outside, turn the heat on and let the visitors melt away.

Suffocate your visitors with your lovely presence. You need to keep a close watch on your visitors every second of their tour and while you keep them from nosing into your cupboards and cabinets, entertain them with an endless account of your spiteful neighbors and the beasts they keep as pets.

If you do all of this, the chances are pretty good that you will never sell your house. Much of the home staging is all about having a good judgment. A home that is clean and tidy, that doesn?t smell like yesterday?s trash will attract a lot more clients, so if selling your home is your wish, try to disregard all of the above.

We?re your guide to best ab workout.
