Home Staging Tips 

Don't Hide it in the Closet  

Growing families need storage space, and potential buyers WILL look in the closets.  Don't stash all the extra things in there.  Think twice before "hiding" it away.  Do you still need it?  Do you really need to keep it? 

• toss it  
• recycle it  
• donate it  
• give it to a friend
