uestion: Can you give me a couple of home staging tips? Answer: Sure. Paint the front door. Clean out closets, basements and attics. Trim, mow and landscape -- and don't allow pets, children or owners to remain at open houses. The idea is to make the home seem as welcoming, spacious and alluring as possible. For this reason you want to complete all repairs, cleaning and fix-ups before placing the home on the market.
