Take a look at what they did with this property at 
(624 Stone Bend Trail) with just some rearranging and a few other recommendations. You can find this property listed on our website at www.KeyCornerstoneRealty.com.…Or stage it yourself.
- De-personalize and De-clutter: Get rid of photos and nicknacks and use minimal furniture and decor.
- Re-arrange Closets & Cabinets: Buyers often snoop into these areas, so organize your drawers and closets. Line your shoes up. Hang your clothes in the same direction. Clean out the fridge and even line up dishes and cups in the cupboard.
- Rent a Storage Unit: Remove extra leaves from tables,make sure no furniture is in walkways. Consider all of this consolidation as a “head start” on your packing and put it into a storage unit until you move to your new residence.
- Remove & Replace Favorite Items: If the chandelier is a family heirloom or the curtains are special to you, remove and replace these with something else, because curtains and lighting stay with the home when you leave.
- Make it Sparkle: Clean, clean, clean. Polish fixtures. Hang fresh towels. Take out trash. No odors.
- Use these Accessories: Mirrors, plants, silk flowers, lamps, small furniture, rugs, pillows, inflatable queen size beds (yes!), blankets, and other items.
