Prepare Your House For Sale |
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.

Laundry Room: clean the inside of your cabinets. Put in liners or paint if the shelves or drawer bottoms look aged. Clean the cabinet fronts.
Dining Room: enlarge the dining area by removing extra leaves and chairs.
