5 HOME STAGING TIPS

Staging your house means preparing and decorating your home to make it more appealing to potential buyers — and it can make a big difference in how quickly and profitably your home sells.

Declutter and Depersonalize

Remove personal items (photos, awards, personal collections) so buyers can imagine themselves living there.
Clear off countertops, shelves, and tables—less is more. Organize closets and cabinets; buyers will look inside them.

Deep Clean Everything

Clean floors, windows, baseboards, and appliances. Eliminate odors (pets, smoke, strong food smells). Consider hiring a professional cleaning service for a thorough job.

Enhance Curb Appeal

Mow the lawn, trim bushes, and plant fresh flowers. Power wash the driveway and siding. Repaint or replace the front door if it looks worn.

Neutralize and Refresh

Paint walls in light, neutral colors like beige, gray, or soft whites. Replace outdated fixtures, hardware, and lighting if budget allows. Add fresh towels, bedding, and pillows in coordinated colors. Remove trash cans from site.

Maximize Light and Space

Open blinds/curtains and turn on all lights during showings. Use mirrors to reflect light and create the illusion of space. Rearrange or remove furniture to make rooms feel more open.
