There are two schools of thought about whether it is better to show a house empty or with the furnishings in it. An empty house is like a blank canvas, and prospective buyers can more easily imagine what their things would look like in it. But buyers could take the fact that the house is vacant as a sign that the sellers are very anxious to sell and, therefore, might entertain a low offer.

Our recommendations are usually based on how the house would look. Personal taste is highly subjective. Unless your furniture looks really wonderful and is neutral in color and conservative in style, it could distract buyers from the most attractive qualities of your home. The fact that your home is vacant could give it a competitive edge when they make their final selection. Will it attract low offers? It might, but if the price is right, it will attract reasonable offers, too.

My goal as a Number 1 Realtor is to establish an enduring relationship with all my customers while assisting them to meet their real estate needs. Since the majority of my business results from either past clients, or referrals from buyers or sellers, it is of the utmost importance to me to have a high reputation of honesty, integrity and expertise between myself and all those with which I conduct business. Couple this with the many years of experience I have in the industry, as well as the business and marketing tools I implement to assist my buyers and sellers, and you will find that real estate transactions can actually be an enjoyable experience! I am a lifelong resident of the Philadelphia Area and personally know how much this city and surrounding suburbs has to offer. I have raised my own family here and am conversant in all aspects of the vicinity, from shopping and the best driving route to work, to great restaurants and historical sites. My first hand knowledge of the area will be invaluable in assisting you with your real estate transactions.
