Staging For Dummies????

There are over 2,000 "For Dummies" books that have been published.  Here's how Wikipedia defines the books:   "For Dummies is an extensive series of instructional / reference books which are intended to present non-intimidating guides for readers new to the various topics covered".   So I shouldn't have been surprised that one was published about staging…….but I was!!!  It's 338 pages of staging advice, from why you should stage to how to do it yourself. 

Staging 

The book was written by Janice Saunders Maresh and Christine Rae.  It says you can discover the following by reading this book:

*See your home as prospective buyers will see it
*Know what needs doing and what doesn't
*Master the three-step home staging process
*Add real value to your home without breaking the bank
*Decide whether to DIY or call in the pros
*Create curb appeal
*Make a great first impression with a beautiful entryway
*Spruce up your kitchen, bathroom, living, and dining rooms
*Turn your bedrooms into a buyer's dream
*Whip your mechanicals into top shape
*Avoid staging nightmares

I'm not sure if the advice is good or not because I've been staging too many houses to read it!  But, it may be another reference to use if you want to prepare your home for sale.  Shoot….wish I would have thought about writing one!
