<h2 align="center">You Need to Know!</h2>
<p><a href="http://www.northernillinoishomes.com/resources/northern-illinois-garage-sale-tips/attachment/garage-sale/" rel="attachment wp-att-12466"><img src="http://www.northernillinoishomes.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Garage-Sale.jpg" alt="Northern Illinois Garage Sale" width="275" height="183" class="alignright size-full wp-image-12466" /></a><br />
Do you live in Northern Illinois? Are you getting ready to <a href="http://www.northernillinoishomes.com/sharrons-profile/marketing-plan/" title="The Sharron Kelley Team can help sell your home!" target="_blank">sell your home</a> and have some things to get rid of? Do you have sellable items lying around your house?  I have some great information if you need some Garage Sale tips.</p>
<p>There are many things to take into consideration when preparing for a Garage Sale.  Here are some great tips that can be helpful when trying to get ready for the big event.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Selling on a Saturday is best</strong>.  Sundays are usually reserved for family time.  Don’t forget to check with your village and home owners association to make sure permits are not needed and you are following all of the guidelines necessary.</li>
<p></p>
<li><strong>Make it a community sale</strong>.  Gather up your neighbors and try to make it a big event.  More garage sales in your area will bring more people.  So talk to your neighbors and come up with a date that works for everyone. </li>
<p></p>
<li><strong>Ask for help</strong>.  Get ready and rally up your family and friends to help you out the day of the garage sale.  Entice your friends and family by offering to put some of their items in the garage sale as well.  A little extra cash for a days work always helps. </li>
<p></p>
<li><strong>Put up signs</strong>.  Don’t forget to get signs up around your neighborhood with your address and time.  List the big ticket items as well as anything else you may think will help draw people to your home.  Advertising the event on craigslist and Facebook will also help boost your sales.</li>
<p></p>
<li><strong>Safety comes first</strong>.  Remember that strange people are going to be visiting your home.  If you have items inside that you are selling make sure someone else is in the house with you. </li>
<p></p>
<li><strong>Secure your money</strong>.  Always keep your money in a secure area.  A fanny pack is a great place to keep money and you can always make cash drops throughout the day to be safe.</li>
<p></p>
<li><strong>The early bird gets the worm</strong>.  Start your garage sale early and make the big ticket items visible.  It helps to have all of your items marked and ready to go so you can open up early and start selling.  Having the big ticket items up front will help draw people in.</li>
<p></p>
<li><strong>Hospitality works</strong>.  Offering free cookies, lemonade or coffee is welcoming to buyers.  People like things that are FREE, even it is a small offering, it can go far. </li>
</ul>
<p>These are just a few suggestions when getting ready for your Northern Illinois Garage Sale.  Take a look at this great article, <strong><a href="http://buffalogrove.patch.com/articles/20-tips-for-a-successful-garage-sale-in-buffalo-grove" title="20 Tips for a Successful Garage Sale" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">20 Tips for a Successful Garage Sale</a></strong>, provided to you by The Patch online for all 20 tips.</p>
