			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Navigating the Confusing Paths of Buying Short Sales</strong></p>
<p>People interested in buying short sales might be put off by perceptions that the process is too difficult or too confusing and the wait is too long. However, for those who have done their homework and have the patience to complete the transaction, the benefits are numerous. Housing counselors have provided several information that every short sale buyer should know.</p>
<p>Role of the Lender</p>
<p>A short sale is a transaction under which the lender allows the sale of a property despite receiving payment that is less than what the borrower owes. In short, this type of transaction will result in some loss for the lender. Buyers should be aware that even if the homeowner or the seller has accepted their offer, the lender has the right to refuse and in such cases, the lender&#8217;s decision determines the outcome of the negotiation..</p>
<p>In getting the lender to accept the offer, a buyer should have his loan approval documents ready. A deposit is also often required in these cases, with the lender most likely to ask for a higher deposit than the amount initially approved by the seller. People buying short sales should keep in mind that convincing the lender is the primary requirement in closing the deal.</p>
<p>Checking for Pitfalls</p>
<p>Buyers should always check public records to see who really owns the title to the property. Public records will also allow a buyer to find out whether there are still unpaid taxes attached to the property. These taxes will be the responsibility of the buyer in most cases and not knowing if there are taxes can blindside a buyer and force him to go over his budget.</p>
<p>These documents will also help the buyer determine whether there is a second mortgage associated with the property. This can create a problem since having a second loan will probably mean additional costs, not to mention another party to seek approval from. To navigate these ins and outs, a buyer should rely on the knowledge of a real estate agent.</p>
<p>Those who plan on buying short sales should keep in mind that a real estate agent is highly needed in these cases. Agents with considerable experience in short sale deals can help a buyer get through the process and secure a fair and beneficial agreement.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Short Sale Approval: Steps for Working with Mortgage Lenders</strong></p>
<p><strong>Short sale approval</strong> occurs when banks allow borrowers to sell their property for less than the balance due on the mortgage note. The primary goal of short sales is to minimize lenders&#8217; financial losses and prevent the property from falling into foreclosure.</p>
<p>Short sale approval is based on many factors and varies by lender. Unified criteria include: properties cannot be in foreclosure; borrowers owe more than the home is worth; and borrowers cannot own assets which can be used to satisfy the mortgage note.</p>
<p>The biggest mistake borrowers make is procrastinating about contacting their lender when they become delinquent with payment. This usually stems from embarrassment or fear. Believe it or not, lenders do not want your property. They are in business to make money, not manage properties. Most are willing to work with borrowers and devise a plan that is beneficial to both you and the lender.</p>
<p>The short sale process typically takes between four to nine months. Much depends on the bank&#8217;s caseload, number of lenders involved, and ability to locate a buyer. The process becomes more burdensome when borrowers hold a second or third mortgage against the real estate.</p>
<p>Borrowers will work with a loss mitigator assigned through their lender. Mitigators do not make final decisions on short sale approval, but can be instrumental in helping obtain a successful outcome.</p>
<p>Loss mitigators are overwhelmed with work. They are oftentimes verbally abused by frustrated, stressed-out borrowers. If you want an edge on obtaining short sale approval, be nice to your mitigator. Organize financial records and provide requested information in a timely fashion. Take time to thank the person for assisting you through this difficult process. As they say, you catch more flies with honey.</p>
<p>Banks generally require borrowers to submit a short sale packet consisting of a variety of financial documents. Expect to provide bank, credit card and investment statements, previous years&#8217; tax returns, tax or creditor liens, list of income and expenses, spousal or child support orders, and property tax and homeowners&#8217; insurance receipts.</p>
<p>Lenders oftentimes request borrowers to submit a short sale hardship letter outlining events which caused them to become delinquent. The hardship letter is a crucial element toward obtaining short sale approval. It should be crafted with care and include dates of events which took place. Events might include loss of employment, death of a spouse or child, divorce, or chronic illness.</p>
<p>Many banks require borrowers to have a sales contract in hand before authorizing short sale approval. Others grant time to list the property through a realtor to locate a buyer. Borrowers can save time and money by selling to real estate investors.</p>
<p>Today, investors are particularly interested in foreclosure and short sale real estate because these properties are sold below market value. Use the Internet to locate investors in your area or ask friends, family, realtors and banks for referrals. Some investors purchase real estate across the nation, so if you are unable to locate a local investor look for nationwide investors.</p>
<p>Investors oftentimes purchase distressed properties with cash in order to obtain a lower purchase price. Everyone knows cash is king and lenders are generally more receptive to working with buyers who have cash in hand.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>The Westfield New Jersey Short Sale: Anything But Short</strong></p>
<p>Because they are often priced below comparable homes in the Westfield area, bargain-thirsty buyers find short sales particularly alluring &#8212; though they can often prove to be deceiving.</p>
<p>&#13;If a listing is not officially designated as &#8220;Short Sale Approved&#8221;, there is simply no way of knowing for certain if a offer made on a short sale would be accepted. Merely advertising a home as a short sale does not imply the bank has agreed to consider a short sale offer. The listing agent and the seller are simply wagering the bank will be desperate enough to accept such an offer.</p>
<p>&#13;Not uncommonly, agents will list a Westfield home as a potential short sale and price the home attractively low. However, a short sale list price may not equal (or even come close to) the minimum amount a bank may be willing to accept.</p>
<p>&#13;Ultimately, it could well be that the seller will fail to qualify for a short sale opportunity. A seller who asks for debt forgiveness and has assets, and is unwilling be work out a repayment plan with the bank, will have to prove hardship. The bank will request documentation of their current finances along with a letter explaining why they can not afford to continue making mortgage payments. The seller will need to adequately plead their case. Simply looking to avoid foreclosure is not an acceptable reason for a lender to accept a short sale.</p>
<p>&#13;Before approving a short sale, the bank will conduct an appraisal to determine the market value of the home. They might also request a market analysis by a realtor instead of a full appraisal. A market analysis measures the home&#8217;s value by examining the comparative sale prices of three recently sold homes in the neighborhood. This process is usually quicker and less costly for the bank and is common with short sales.</p>
<p>&#13;In the event the offer price is significantly lower than the appraisal, a bank will be less likely to accept the offer for the sale of the home. It is the bank&#8217;s discretion whether or not to accept the terms of the offer.</p>
<p>&#13;A bank will typically weigh the cost to sell, cost to hold and foreclosure costs when making a decision to sell a home.</p>
<p>&#13;Before making an offer on a short sale, buyers need to ensure they are fully prequalified. Because they are often less costly than other homes, competition among buyers is often fierce, and banks will require strict proof of funds or a pre-commitment (rather than a typical preapproval) letter at the time the offer is made. Bidding wars on short sales are also not uncommon, with lenders sometimes unwilling to consider anything but cash offers.</p>
<p>&#13;Waiting for the lender to accept or reject a short sale can be agonizing. It can often take a month or more for the lending company to even respond to an offer, placing buyers and sellers in a frustrating state of limbo. Many buyers walk away from short sales because they simply can&#8217;t endure the waiting and red tape that&#8217;s involved. Unlike regular real estate sales, lending companies often don&#8217;t even respond with a counter offer. They simply reject the sale, leaving both the seller and the buyer feeling confused and disappointed..</p>
<p>&#13;Because the short sale process is often fraught with difficulty, many buyers simply don&#8217;t feel it&#8217;s worth their time considering them. For those who can bear the waiting, however, short sales can provide buyers with a great deal on a home, and a positive solution for sellers.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Is Fair Market Fair?</strong></p>
<p>Is fair market fair?  Should assets be marked to market or should they be left at historical cost?   Perhaps the most reliable, relevant, and comparable financial statements would result from allowing for both historical cost and fair value accounting to continue.  Through interpreting the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (FASB) fair value measurements reasons can be provided why the best approach might come from companies mark to marketing level one and level two assets and reporting level three assets at historical cost.  </p>
<p>            The Financial Accounting Standards Board created a fair value measurement to provide guidelines on how assets are to be estimated by categorizing these assets into three levels.  Level one items are liquid assets with an active market of identical assets at quoted prices.  Examples of level one assets and liabilities are US government and agency securities, foreign government debt, listed equities and money market securities (Patching 2).  These valuations have strong evidence to prove their reliability, thus should be marked to market.  Level two assets and liabilities are estimated by quoted prices of similar assets and liabilities on an observable market.  Examples of level two assets and liabilities are corporate bonds (investment grade, high yield), mortgage-backed securities, bank loans, loan commitments, less liquid listed equities, municipal bonds and certain OTC derivatives (Patching 2).  These valuations are not as reliable as level one assets because level two assets are estimated, but because there is an active market for similar assets there is strong evidence to prove that these estimations are accurate.  Level three assets, which are commonly referred as “mark to myth” or “mark to make believe,” is the third category.  Examples of level three assets and liabilities are distressed debt, private equity, exotic or non-standard derivatives (Patching 3).  These items are the most difficult to estimate simple because there is no market to which prices can be compared to.  These assets are estimated by managers of a company based on the internal information of that company (McGladrey &amp; Pullen LLP 1-2).  To value these assets, companies are forced to estimate a selling price for assets that they do not want to sell on a market where no one wants to buy.  Estimating these valuations is rather difficult and costly to companies.</p>
<p>To enforce mark to market accounting of level three assets is unfair because the cost is high to companies. For example, if an asset was bought for 0,000 any C.P.A. would determine that price is the historical cost.  If one hundred appraisers were asked to value an asset, most likely they would be able to and would likely come up with one hundred different answers.  Appraisals of level one and level two assets would have a close mean, but level three items will tend to have much higher variances of opinion.  The cost to get these level three assets appraised and audited is also higher because the valuation technique required by the FASB is more controversial then valuing level one and level two assets.  Because the only information for these level three assets comes from the company, auditors spend more billing time investigating the information provided by the companies and calculating their own estimation.  This makes companies spend more money to get less reliable information.  The Sarbanes Oxley Act has already increased the cost to companies to report financial statements and made it more difficult for start-up companies to make an initial price offering.  Forcing companies to mark to market these costly level three items would make the barrier to entry into a publically traded company even higher. Mark to marketing level one and level two assets are more objective, reliable, and cost-efficient.  In an article written by Mr. Reuters of CNBC, Colin Martin, a partner at <strong>KMPG&#8217;s </strong>FS Technical Advisory states, “If there is a price out there, it cannot be ignored…It is very difficult to overcome an actual price,” He continued, “You have to find some other evidence why that price is not valid” (Reuters 2).  Since there are prices on the market for these level one and level two assets, they should be reported at their fair market.  However, the cost to value a level three asset at its fair market value far exceeds the benefit of having these controversial estimates on the books.  </p>
<p>Fair marketing level three assets is unfair to entities because companies are required to write down assets to fire-sale prices.  For example, there are two companies in the same industry, one is near bankruptcy and must sell their assets.  Since there is no demand for these assets their selling price would be extremely low.  The second company must determine the fair value of their similar assets each quarter.  In an area where there is no market the only market values would be where company one was required to sell their assets at a distressed price.  Company two would then have to write down their similar assets to these fire-sale prices.  This unfairly lowers the value of companies that are doing well to the value of companies that are going bankrupt.  Estimating fair value of level three items also creates a conflict of interest.</p>
<p>            Level three assets are values estimated by top management of companies based on internal information.  Allowing Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) and Chief Financial Officers (CFOs) of corporations to estimate their own assets is not fair to investors.  During an interview with Becky Quick on CNBC’s Squawk Box Warren Buffet stated,</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve always been theological on mark-to-market accounting, because I&#8217;ve seen so much of what people do when they&#8217;re allowed to use their imagination on balance sheets or income statements. And frankly, American business misbehaved in a big way, particularly in the &#8217;90s. But people did play games with numbers. And they probably still do. But it&#8211;there was&#8211;it was almost accepted as a way of doing business. So I&#8217;ve always been suspicious when you give a CEO a pen and tell him it&#8217;s the honor system (Quick 11).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It is daunting to hear Warren Buffet say that people use their imaginations on income statements, but when CEOs estimate assets based on internal information they have that ability. Top management’s performance is evaluated based on the financial statements they produce at the end of the year and then they are given bonuses based on those financial statements.  This creates a conflict of interest because instead of focusing on providing the most reliable financials, CEOs and CFOs benefit from inflated assets and understated liabilities.   </p>
<p>Allowing management to estimate their own assets gives them too much influence over the financial statements.  CEOs and CFOs having more control over their financials weakens the confidence of the investors.  Investors with little belief in the financial market ultimately results in a contracting economy.  Investor’s confidence is currently very low from scandalous top management frauds such as the ponzi scam of Bernard Madoff, financial statement fraud of Enron, and executive theft of Tyco.  Instead of giving managements more power, the SEC should be limiting their influents to restore investor’s confidence and boost the economy.  By not allowing CEOs to use internal information to estimate their assets and reporting these items at historical cost the power to influence their books would be taken away from management.  Even though this information might not be the most accurate, the strengths and weaknesses of historical cost should be acceptable to insure reliable and honest accounting.  </p>
<p>             Fair market value is a great tool to report accurate financial statements as long as the information is reliable.  FASB created a far value hierarchy which breaks up valuations into three levels.  Levels one and two items are based on prices observed from the market.  Level three items are assumptions for valuations based on information from within a company.  Forcing level three assets to be marked to market is very costly, requires assets valuations at fire-sale prices, creates a conflict of interest and gives management too much control of their financials.  To be fair to companies and investors alike, level one and level two assets should be marked to market and level three assets should be left at historical cost.    </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Stock Market for Beginners: Top 5 Investing Tips</strong></p>
<p>The Stock Market for Beginners can seem like a place to make money fast. To be successful, you must have a definite trading plan. It must be practical, easy to use and dependable more times than not. That is why these Stock Market for Beginners investing tips need to be considered before you make a decision to buy or sell stocks.</p>
<p>1. The Fundamentals. Will they be bullish or bearish, in the future? If they will be mostly bullish, you can consider going &#8220;long&#8221;, going long means you purchase the stock and will profit if the price of the stock goes up. Or, if they are likely to be bearish, you can consider going &#8220;short&#8221;, going short is the practice of selling stock, that have been borrowed from a broker, provided the following four tips indicate a move in that direction.</p>
<p>2. The Trend. Does the trend point up towards a price that, in the future, will justify the bullish fundamentals? If so, you have two tips that indicate buy. If the trend points down towards a price that will justify bearish fundamentals, in the future, sell.</p>
<p>3. Volume of Sales. Markets tend to move in the direction of the largest volume of sales. If prices rise and the volume of sales increase, that is a bullish indication. It gives you a third good reason to buy, provided the first two tips are bullish. If prices decline on large volume and rise on small volume, that&#8217;s bearish. You should then consider going &#8220;short&#8221; if the other tips are also bearish.</p>
<p>4. Seasonal Factors. Most stocks tend to follow a seasonal pattern. Low prices are generally made during certain months and high prices generally occur at certain other months. (The Stock Trader&#8217;s Almanac can help you know the seasonal influence.) A note of caution, however. During periods of great shortage or large supply, the seasonal factors are not as dependable because, at those times, prices will stay at high levels for a longer period during shortages, or stay around low levels for a longer period due the large supply which must be reduced.</p>
<p>5. Supply and Demand. If research reports show there will be a shortage of a stock, in the near future, you have another reason to buy, if the other four tips indicate a bullish trend. If those reports indicate a larger supply will soon be coming to the market, you have another reason to &#8220;sell short&#8221;.</p>
<p>Finally, make sure all of the Stock Market for Beginners five tips agree on the possible move, up or down. If your financial advisor or stock broker say, &#8220;yes&#8221;, and the Stock Market for Beginners five tips say, &#8220;yes&#8221;, then you can buy or sell according to what they indicate, bullish or bearish.</p>

<p>www.turnkeyhedgefunds.com </p>
<p><strong>ForEx, hedge funds. Registering with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission</strong></p>
<p>Generally, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission has jurisdiction over transactions in ForEx futures and options contracts offered to retail customers, and the only counterparties that can lawfully enter into these contracts with retail customers on an off-exchange basis are persons that are: (i) registered with the Commission as a futures commission merchant (FCM); (ii) certain affiliates of a registered FCM;, or (iii) otherwise regulated, e.g., as a securities broker-dealer, a bank, a financial institution or an insurance company.</p>
<p>On May 22, 2008, the Congress passed the Farm Bill which, in Title XIII, contains several amendments to the Commodity Exchange Act involving the retail trading of foreign exchange. </p>
<p>Under the CFTC Reauthorization Act, a person operating pool solely trading spot ForEx is not required to register as a CPO at this time (but may be so required in the future upon promulgation of regulations by the CFTC). </p>
<p><strong>If I start up a Fund of Funds and allocate among equity and futures funds what  kinds of registration issues do I need to be concerned with?</strong> </p>
<p>As a Fund of Funds you must be aware of each particular states Investment Advisor rules. Many states have exemptions from registration. Also if you intend to invest in futures or commodity funds, you should register with the National Futures Association (NFA) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) as a Commodity Pool Operator (CPO). This CPO&#8217;s associated person must successfully complete the NASD Series 3 examination. </p>
<p><strong>Must a finder be registered as a broker-dealer?</strong> </p>
<p>Generally, No. Generally a finder does not have to be registered as a broker-dealer if its finder&#8217;s activities are limited. A &#8220;broker&#8221; under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is &#8220;any person engaged in the business of effecting transactions in securities for the account of others.&#8221; The SEC staff has found activities such as (a) participating in presentations or negotiations, (b) making any recommendations concerning securities, (c) receiving transaction-based compensation, (d) structuring a transaction or making recommendations regarding the nature of the securities, whether to issue securities or to assess the value of securities sold, and (e) continuing involvement in sales of securities to trigger broker-dealer registration obligations.  However, a number of states, Texas and California for example,  take the position that only a registered representative (broker) may receive kind of compensation. </p>
<p><strong>Are there any other types of finders available to issuers in a private placement?</strong> </p>
<p>Yes. Rule 3a4-1 provides a non-exclusive safe harbor from the definition of a broker for persons associated with an issuer who are engaged in securities-related activities incident to their duties on behalf of the issuer. See Securities Exchange Act Rel. No. 22172 (June 27, 1985). Employees and possibly individual affiliates of an issuer who are not registered representatives of broker-dealers may be considered &#8220;associated persons&#8221; for purposes of Rule 3a4-1, in which case they may be exempt from registration and will be permitted to engage in limited sales activities pursuant to the Rule&#8217;s safe harbor. </p>

<p>www.turnkeyhedgefunds.com</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Are there exemptions from registration as a commodity pool operator for a small hedge fund?</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Section 4.7 of Commodity Future Trading Commission Rules provides for certain exemptions from certain requirements with respect to commodity pool operators making offerings to qualified eligible persons or commodity trading advisors with respect to advising qualified eligible persons. Under Section 4.7, the pool operator is exempted from certain disclosure compliance requirements. Specifically, Section 4.21 with respect to required delivery of a pool disclosure document, Section 4.24 with respect to the contents of the disclosure document in general, Section 4.25 with respect to requirements relating to the disclosure of past performance and Section 4.26 with regard to use amendment and filing of a disclosure document. The Section 4.7 exemption is not an exemption from registration as a commodity pool operator or commodity trading advisor.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Section 4.13 generally provides for exemption from registration as a commodity pool operator. Before its amendment in August of 2003, a person was not required to register as a commodity pool operator if the person did not receive any compensation or payment directly or indirectly; operated only one commodity pool at a time; was not otherwise required to register with the commission; and either the person or other person involved with the pools does any advertising in connection with the pool or to the total gross capital contributions for participation units in all pools that are operated, or intends to operate, do not in the aggregate exceed 0,000 and none of the pools operated have more than 15 participants. This is referred to as the &#8220;small pool exemption.&#8221;</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Section 4.13(a)(3) generally provides for exemption from registration as a commodity pool operator where: Aggregate initial margin and premiums do not exceed 5% of the liquidation value of the portfolio and the aggregate net motional value of the positions does not exceed 100% of the liquidation value of the pool portfolio.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Section 4.13(a)(4) generally provides for exemption from registration as a commodity pool operator where: The person reasonably believes, at the time of investment (or, in the case of an existing pool, at the time of conversion to a pool meeting the criteria of paragraph (a)(4) of this section), that: (A) Each natural person participant (including such person&#8217;s self-directed employee benefit plan, if any), is a &#8220;qualified eligible person,&#8221; as that term is defined in section 4.7(a)(2); <strong>This exemption can not be claimed if the natural person participants only meet the 4.7(a)(3) portfolio requirement.</strong></p>
</p>
<p><strong>If I start up a Fund of Funds and allocate among equity and futures funds what  kinds of registration issues do I need to be concerned with?</strong></p>
<p>
<p>As a Fund of Funds you must be aware of each particular states Investment Advisor rules. Many states have exemptions from registration. Also if you intend to invest in futures or commodity funds, you should register with the National Futures Association (NFA) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) as a Commodity Pool Operator (CPO).

<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>When it comes to short sales, likely you have heard things both good and bad about the process.  In general, it is a good way to help a homeowner to get out from under mortgage payments that you can no longer afford, without ruining your credit.  If you live in the Scottsdale area or are looking to buy a home in the area, learn more about this process and the benefits offered to both buyer and seller.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In today&#8217;s economic climate, many homeowners are finding that they owe more on their home than what it is worth.  Due to loss of income, divorce or other extenuating circumstances they can no longer pay the mortgage.  You are likely facing foreclosure, which is something you would rather avoid if at all possible.  A reputable Arizona realtor can help you negotiate the short sale process with your lender, so that you can sell your home for less than you owe to a willing buyer.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Scottsdale real estate is prime property where many people would love to buy a home, but feel they cannot afford to.  The short sale process allows buyers to purchase their dream home for considerably less money, which is idea for the buyer.  An experienced certifed short sale real estate agent knows the value of the homes in the area, and can easily find a home that is within the price range of the buyer, benefiting both seller and buyer.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If you are a homeowner trying to get out from under your mortgage, you may wonder why a lender would take an amount less than what you owe on your home.  Lenders would generally rather have some money on the property, as they are not in the business of owning or managing property.  While foreclosure may drop your credit score by as much as 250 points, the short sale process generally drops it by only 100 points.  You can also purchase another home of your own quicker, while foreclosure usually results in a wait of 5 to 7 years or longer.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Buyers looking for a home in the Scottsdale area will find that short sales allow them to purchase a beautiful home for a price they can afford.  For example, a home may be worth 0,000 or more, but the lender may be willing to settle for 0,000.  This saves you a substantial amount of money, and you get a lot more home for your money. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Either way, the process is an involved one that most people do not want to enter without the advantage of a Scottsdale realtor on their team.  An experienced  certified agent can negotiate and handle the bulk of the work, making the process both easier and less time consuming.  If you are looking to buy or sell in this elite area in Arizona, contact a reputable Certified  short sale realtor to make the entire process quick and seamless.</p>

<p><strong>Does Staging Sell Real Estate</strong></p>
<p>There is something to be said about a neat and tidy house when you are sorting through house after house looking for the perfect home for you and your family. <strong>visit here &#8211;  http://commercialrealestate-remax.blogspot.com</strong></p>
<p>This is something that should be kept in mind when selling either a personal home or an investment property. There are a few other things you should keep in mind when it comes to selling real estate. One of those things is that staging sells homes.</p>
<p>Seriously, there is something cold about an empty house. It could be painted impeccably and meet every possible standard a family has and yet feel cold and anything but homey when walking through the home for a real estate tour or inspection. This can be easily overcome by contacting a local furniture rental store and picking out furniture that will match at least the primary rooms of the home in order to make the home appear leaved in and homelike.</p>
<p>The primary rooms that you will want to appear &#8216;lived in&#8217; are the living room, dining room, master bedroom, and all bathrooms. These are the rooms that essentially sell homes and it is important to make them appear neat, orderly, and well cared for. If you have the funds for every room in the home then by all means do so. It is a huge selling point, particularly for those who are trying to sell homes quickly.</p>
<p>If the home doesn&#8217;t sell after the first two weeks or month (you decide the time limit) then you may want to remove the &#8216;staging&#8217; furniture in order to eliminate the expense. I would strongly encourage you to keep this furniture as long as the home is being shown fairly regularly though.</p>
<p>You will want to do so much more than simply putting furniture in the property you are trying to sell. You want to create an atmosphere or warmth and comfort. This means you want to have prints on the walls, mirrors, plants, and pillows. You do not have to purchase items particularly for this process. You can use things from your own home in order to establish this atmosphere of homelike comfort. Be sure not to use sentimental favorites or very valuable pieces, as not all people who will view the property being sold are honest. It&#8217;s a sad reality but something to consider all the same.</p>
<p>Other things that may help an empty home sell are scents. There is nothing quite like the smell of cookies in the oven or flowers in bloom to make a home feel &#8216;homey&#8217;. These scents can be easily accomplished with well placed scented candles, potpourri warmers, dry potpourri, fresh-cut flowers, and electric room air fresheners.</p>
<p>There are few things that will turn off potential buyers more quickly than an overpowering fragrance however so keep this in mind when selecting the method of fragrance. Having some fragrance in the home also eliminates the problem of an empty house taking on the &#8216;empty house&#8217; scent that so many do over time. In other words, this is yet another part of the staging process that works for many trying to sell homes.</p>
<p>The short answer to the question of whether or not staging sells real estate is &#8220;yes&#8221;. Staging a home can absolutely lead to a higher offer and a quicker sell, even in today&#8217;s sluggish market. <br /><strong>Does Staging Sell Real Estate</strong></p>
