notsosmrt | Should I sell my house with my furniture in it and decorated nicely, or move-in ready? |
I am not using a realtor, so I don't have anyone to give me advice. I have the option of moving all my stuff out if I need to.

I think I need to re-word that. When showing my house to prospective buyers, should I have my furniture in it, or is it more preferable to show it completely empty? |

A home looks more welcoming and warmer when it is shown furnished, HOWEVER, it is vital that it is done properly. You might want to dig up a copy of Parade Mag. from this past Sunday's L.A. Times as it has some valuable tips in it about how to show your home. |

If you think your furniture will go with your new place and it's worth the expense of moving it, then take it with you. If not, you can use the extra cash from the sale to buy furniture that does look good in your new pad.
Houses sell best if staged. During the selling process, definitely leave the furniture behind.
Good luck. |

Leave everything in place. People will look more at the furniture than at the house when touring it. Anyway many times the old furniture will not fit in a new home, specially if the new home is more modern or smaller. Good luck! |

Chances are, the new homeowner will have their own furniture.
Just a tip -- hire a real estate agent. Granted you have to pay them commission, but they do earn their money. Or the buying realtor takes that commission your selling agent would get anyways (cause they have double the paperwork).
Good Luck!
Ok, now that you have reworded it, show your house with furniture in it. It shows the perspective buyer what will fit into the room. Just make sure that you don't have too much furniture. Get a friend to come over and help you 'stage'. A fresh set of eyes will do wonders. |

Just here.

You can really do either, If you leave it to show the house you can show how nice it looks with furniture...etc....Its all up to you really. |

Well, It depends, if it is more likely that someone would buy one with furniture than go with furniture. If it is more likely to buy it without, then go without. Simple as that. You should also chesk out the demand and the value of the house both ways. |

If you can move it all out and spruce up a clean empty interior, the prospective Buyers can immediately imagine their own things in there and not be distracted by yours. Either that, or leave the basic minimum furniture items and decor so as to suggest uses without overpowering. |

A furnished, decorated house alway sells better than an empty house. |

Put the house on the market and show it fully furnished. Make sure the furnishings are simple, neat and uncluttered. Builders who develop homes always set up a sample home fully decorated. They sell easier that way. |

hi there..i"ve been quite obsessed with all of the home shows on hgtv etc...and they always sell it with stuffi n it...INFACT..the one I just saw, the guy spent $3,000.00 to have his house staged!! it definetly comes off better, and people can see how things fit etc.....good luck...KEEP UR STUFF IN IT! -
OH , I JUST RE-READ UR question...most people aren't going to buy ur stuff in it...they just want to see it...ur not going to get more for u stuff..sooo keep it, till its sold, than load it up! u can though, tell people if they do like something and would like it, they can ask for it to stay, its an added bonus, but they won't want everything. |

Don't overdo the furniture and decoration. But it can be more appealing to the buyer if there is already several pieces of furniture to show the potential of each room. :) Hope this helps. |

If you have the option of moving stuff out, then do your very best to de-clutter and clean up, but don't take everything, it is actually just as offputting to a potential buyer as it doesn't look/feel like a home. Think magazine/new build showhome!!
Good luck! |

If you sell the furniture you would have to find the person who likes your taste. If you are leasing, then you could offer a furniture option if you lease as a corporate apt.
In short, don't offer the furniture, unless they need it. When you are showing the house, make sure everthing is clean and immaculate. Make sure you have a soft citrus scent in the kitchen. Make sure you have fresh flowers in several rooms.
Make sure you have removed the clutter from the house, and hopefully you don't have too much furniture (So they can envision their furniture in the room). Dust, Dust, Dust!
Unfortunately white walls sell the best. Usually because your style is different than that of your buyers.
Look at your place with a critical eye (wallpaper is a turn off, make sure cabinet hardware is tasteful and matches (no gold with stainless appliances). You want the buyer to think they have to do little to make it livable. If you have bookcases make sure you only have books on about 10-20% of them, redo them to use them as a showcase for a vase or other items. |

To be honest if you have a washer/dryer, frig and carpeting included in the price, that is all most people need but once you find buyers give them the option to purchase the furniture and just add it to the price of the house.
Most people have some furniture but if your stuff is nice they might want to have it.. each buyer will be different in that regard.
I think when we move next time we will sell most of the furniture and buy new at the next destination it will save on moving fees that is for sure!
We looked at both when we were buying and we bought a house that had been empty for a year. Furnished can be nice to get a feel of arrangements if you want to continue to live there you should keep it furnished but uncluttered. If you allready have another place leave it empty but clean. |

I think that it all depends on how u came to collect your furniture. If there is no attachemnt to it then yes you can and start brand new in your new place. But if you have had like a few pieces that are from family members or if you accumulated a piece with a great bargin then keep it. What i do is when i move I keep at least one piece of furniture from the last place. Bc i alway smove into a bigger better home (god willing and i am so blessed) I nvr want to forget where i came from...it too could depend on your style if you are looking to get a new style then sell it..hell burn it...just be comfortable with the decision that u make |

you should be using a Realtor...but chances are the person that will buy your home has there own or may not like your furniture.. you can always leave the option open with whom ever your negotiating with. How ever you really should consider the use of a realtor.
Many consumers consider selling their home directly but eventually turn to REALTORS®. Smart home sellers realize they need the expertise in pricing their home, making connections with REALTORS® working with buyers, arranging and staffing open houses, and coordinating with other professionals in the sales process.
Only about half of all real estate agents are REALTORS® -- the top half, in our not-so-humble opinion. REALTORS® work independently, for small agencies, or for large brokerages. They help people buy and sell residential or commercial properties, vacation homes, and land; they conduct appraisals; they operate in the United States and in other countries; some specialize in auctions; and others are buyer’s representatives.
REALTORS® Are Experts
The home price for sellers who use an agent is 16 percent higher than for those who donÂ’t, according to NAR's 2005 Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers, and nine out of 10 home buyers use a real estate agent in the search process.
Why Use a REALTOR®?
Real estate transactions involve one of the biggest financial investments most people experience in their lifetime. Here are 12 ways a REALTOR® will make your home buying or selling experience better.
REALTORS® Are Part of the Community
REALTORS® Work to End Housing Discrimination - during April, which is Fair Housing Month, and all year long. REALTORS® are active members of their communities.
REALTORS® Protect You
Only REALTORS® follow a Code of Ethics
To be a member of NAR and a REALTOR®, a real estate agent must abide by a set of professional principles and serve clients fairly.
