Staging normally shows buyers how they could
live in your home. In today’s bailout economy, it’s more important to show them how they can actually
buy your home!
Set up a space in your home-for-sale to showcase Financial
Information along with the other usual stuff (property flyer and agent info). The kitchen counter or dining room
table is perfect. Here's what you need to best inform your potential buyer:
1. Simple information on an accessible mortgage product
(someplace in town that's actually lending!)
What kind of down payment is needed / monthly payment estimate
2. Information for the investment buyer:
Mortgage info along with information on the
area's current rental market.
3. Credit Score Tips
General information about how to get your free credit report and scores needed to qualify for available mortgage
products.
Your Real Estate agent should
be able to put you in touch with all the information you need (who's lending, current terms, info on Banks and Credit
Union options, etc.)
In this economic climate, Financial Staging may be the best "staging"
you can do and it doesn't cost you any money.
