Staging your home to sell fast

The old real estate saying is location, location, location. But that's not the only thing that can help sell a house. How you present your home for an open house and your real estate listing can make a huge difference in its selling price. You can get over $5,000 more if you have a light blue bathroom, according to Zillow.com. You can lose $2,000 if your home is too dark. And in New York, you'll get a 20 percent premium if you have heated or herringbone floors.
