When I talk about staging your home, I’m referring to a method of preparing a property for sale on the real estate marketplace. Staging is designed to showcase a home’s best assets, impress buyers, and sell it quickly for the highest possible price.
Because not all sellers stage their homes–especially homes in lower price ranges–you’ll be at an advantage if you elect to take the extra step of staging your property.
Good staging lets the buyers imagine themselves in the home, shows off its good features and hides its flaws, turns weird spaces into usable spaces, creates a mood (stagers call it “emotional” staging), and makes the home look significantly better in photos. Here’s how.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Home staging refers to preparing your home to sell so it appeals to the most potential buyers who will pay the highest possible price.
- Relative to the amount of time and money involved, staging may be one of the most lucrative projects you’ll ever undertake.
- The living room, kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms, and outdoor living spaces are all important areas to focus on when staging your home.
- A few recommended home staging tips are to declutter, clean or replace your appliances so they look new, remove any personal items such as photos and monogrammed towels, and get rid of odors.
