Decorating to Sell: Home Staging in the Fall
Fall offers so many opportunities to stage your home, with some real advantages over summer. For one thing, the weather's cooler, and those shopping for their next house among Mansfield homes for sale may be more inclined to look and linger. We also have the opportunity for creative home staging, with a few fall displays of leaves, flowers, and fruits and some subtle fall scents in the home.
But fall also offers some challenges, particularly if you have trees with falling leaves. It can be you're expecting potential homebuyers just as your ash, birch, maple, and oak trees are shedding leaves. You'll have to be vigilant, raking as needed to keep the yard clear.

How to Clear the Clutter When Selling Your Home
Selling your home while you're still living in it is difficult for many sellers because it requires keeping the house show-ready, or not far from it, at all times. You never know when someone might schedule a showing, so you may have fairly short notice to clean and spruce up your home. Fortunately, decluttering and staging your home before listing it for sale will help prepare you for anything. Here are a few tips from our REALTORS® on decluttering when selling your home.
- Make use of a storage unit.
Most of us have way more belongings than your real estate agent would like to be in your home when it's being shown. Clutter tends to make homes look smaller and ruins buyers' ability to imagine themselves living there. It will help you declutter if you get a storage unit to hold everything you don't need right now, such as off-season clothes, holiday decorations, and other seldom-used items.

7 Home-Selling Tips You Should Ignore
Doesn't it seem like everyone you know becomes a real estate expert when they hear that you're trying to sell your home? While friends, family, and colleagues have good intentions when offering real estate advice, they're often relying on outdated info or common misconceptions about the real estate industry. It's so much easier to sell a home when you tune out the noise, ignore advice that doesn't work, and focus on tips from pros with their finger on the pulse of the industry. Our REALTORS® are here to help, with seven home-selling tips you should ignore.
- "Spring is the only time to sell your home."
Yes, real estate shoppers often hit the market in force during the spring months, but that hardly means that spring is the only time to sell. When you list during the busiest months, you also have to deal with increased competition. Selling your home during the winter or other "slower" months can be a great option because there are still people looking for homes and you'll have less competition for their attention.

6 Tips to Sell Your Vacant Home
You've already made the move to your new home, but your old one hasn't sold yet. That leaves you with the task of selling a vacant home. So what do you need to know about putting that home on the market? Perhaps the most important thing to know is that selling a vacant home can be a lot more challenging than attracting buyers for an occupied one. However, there are steps you can take to help ensure that your home holds its own among the other Mansfield homes for sale. Our REALTORS® have a lot of experience helping homeowners get vacant homes sold, and here are 6 tips that can help:
- Keep it sparkling clean – Making a vacant home appealing to buyers means keeping it clean and inviting. A deep cleaning, from top to bottom is the way to go. Once that is done, you'll need to see to it that it stays spotless until it sells, which means cleaning it regularly. Dust will collect, air will get stale, and dirt will get tracked in every time the home is shown to a potential buyer, so it will need a once-over at least once a month to make it shine. If distance prevents you from taking care of it, hire a cleaning service to do it for you.
