<p>Staging Your Home To Sell is so important. Your home must look its best both inside and outside. Buyers form their first impression when they pull up in front of your home. How your home looks from the exterior – can increase your home's sales value up to 17%, a Texas Tech University study found. Landscaped homes have a sales price advantage ranging from 5.5% to 12.7%, according to research by Alex Niemiera, a horticulturist at Virginia Tech.</p>
