Houston Showhomes franchisees Shelley and Pratt Barndollar were recently featured in a piece in <a href="http://houstonhouseandhome.net/0619_webupdate/feature4-Home-Staging-Experts-Share-Tips.html?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=showhomes-houston-featured-in-houston-house-home-magazine-2710322" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Houston House &amp; Home Magazine</a> about the Seven Sins That Sink A Sale.

The piece discusses the mistakes&nbsp;home sellers&nbsp;should steer clear of to avoid&nbsp;undercutting a home&rsquo;s value and keeping it on the market indefinitely.

&quot;If you are selling your home, beware of these pitfalls: Lackluster listing photos; dirt and clutter, an unkempt exterior; poor lighting; personal items like family photos; plumbing, electrical or system issues; and brightly painted&nbsp;wall treatments,&quot; The article reads, noting that one key way to avoid making these grave errors in the home selling process is enlisting the help of a staging professional, which is where&nbsp;Shelley and Pratt&nbsp;Barndollar&nbsp;come in.&nbsp;

&ldquo;If a home is vacant, it&rsquo;s hard for most buyers to visualize how the space will work for them. That&rsquo;s why vacant staging is so important,&quot; Shelley said. &quot;Having someone live in the home to make sure it&rsquo;s secure and clean and always available to show is great for home owners who don&rsquo;t live in town. ... The home manager also pays the utilities. It&rsquo;s a good option for those who need an onsite caretaker,&rdquo; she said.
