About the Author
Tuan Vu is a seasoned real estate investor and a property manager. Throughout his life he'd seen many homes that were sold undervalued because the owners did not know how to stage a home for sale.
His book, Prepare Your House For Sale: A Survival Guide for Home Sellers, shows the tricks of the trade to increase the value of homes for sale by thousands of dollars while spending the least amount of money doing it.
Tuan Vu lives in Canada with his wife of more than 20 years. They enjoy renovating their own house, doing volunteer work and raising their two children.

Put away heirlooms that your buyers may mistake as permanent fixtures; for example, the nice ceiling chandelier or the wall sconce that have been in your family for generations. Swap it for something else that goes well with the other fixtures in the house. This will prevent any haggling later.
Replace rusty or dented floor registers.
Re-organize each closet, shelf and cabinet to showcase its spaciousness. This should be easier now that they’re almost empty.
In as little as a few hours you can brighten just about any room with a new coat of paint. It is also one of the most cost-effective updates you can do. When the house is clean and the walls are freshly painted, your buyers will feel that they can move in and start enjoying your house right away.
Mistake #7: Hoping the buyers will not notice defects or shoddy repairs. They will. Most will walk away. The remaining few will offer you a low-ball price.
