Have Kids? How to Stage Your Home for Sale
Cleaning, organizing, repairing, replacing, packing… staging your home is no easy task, especially when you have a house full of children. Kids will be kids, and unfortunately, that means new messes will pop up faster than you can clean them. Don't worry — you won't have to tackle this task on your own. Our real estate agents have these helpful tips to make sure every one of your in-person walkthroughs and virtual showings are picture-perfect.
- Knowing When to Seek Help
First thing's first, you may need a set of helping hands to accomplish your goal. Quite simply, most parents have too many responsibilities to juggle, and there are only 24 hours in a day to get everything done. Older children should be tasked with tidying up their rooms and helping around the house. For larger projects, consider asking your extended family members and friends to help — even if that means babysitting! You may also want to consider hiring professionals to help you remodel, keep your home clean, or keep your yard looking great.

8 Tips for Selling a Vacant Home
Our REALTORS® are skilled at coordinating closings for a smooth transition from one home to another, but sometimes the time frame is out of your control. Maybe you've accepted a job offer or promotion requiring relocation by a specific date, or you need to care for an elderly relative.
Don't despair. With a little extra planning, you can sell a home you've already vacated by incorporating these helpful tips.
- Alert the Neighbors
Vacant homes are beacons for troublemakers. Thieves can slip in, and strip copper plumbing and other materials. Or kids may be tempted to vandalize the place. Let the neighbors know you won't be there so they can keep their eyes open for suspicious activity. - Stage the Home
No matter how well a home is maintained, a lack of furnishings can give it an air of abandonment. The effect is similar to the last item on a store shelf that no one wants. If you can't use any of your furniture, consider renting packages that include the basics for a particular room. Other options include consignment or closeout furniture. It's well worth the investment to hire a professional stager who has experience maximizing attributes and minimizing flaws.

Our real estate agents have seven cost-effective painting projects to help you sell your home in 2020.
- Understand Neutrals
Grandma's turquoise farmhouse might be the talk of the neighborhood, but it won't be the top choice for new family offers. Stick with a neutral palette when repainting your interior or exterior. Bright colors are most often a personal choice, and it will be unlikely to find a shopper with the same taste in orange as yourself. A neutral color offers potential buyers a blank canvas they can make their own.

Terms to Know Before You List
Whether you're listing your first home, or if you're a seasoned pro at flipping houses, there are many real estate terms you'll hear. If you're considering listing your property among other Augusta homes for sale, you will need to become familiar with this terminology to make the process easier for you. Acquainting yourself with some of the verbiage discussed below will make your home-listing experience more enjoyable.
Terms You Should Know When Listing Your Home
Once you familiarize yourself with even some of the basic definitions, the process will become easier for you. If you need help clarifying some of the more complex terms, our REALTORS® can help you better understand what they mean for you as a buyer or seller.
One of the first terms to acquaint yourself with is the combination of a buyer's agent and listing agent. A buyer's agent will represent you in the sale of your home while finding potential buyers. While a listing agent will handle the marketing and prepping of your home throughout the process. Principal refers to the amount owed to the lender, which the buyer pays with interest, and using a certified REALTOR® will ensure ethical standards are upheld during the listing.
