When a potential buyer walks into a house, they want to envision themselves in the space - their belongings, their momentos and their furnishings.


Sometimes, that can be difficult to do if the current homeowner has personal photos displayed or big, bulky furniture that makes a space feel small.


One way to help potential home buyers see their own vision is to have the house staged.



What does this mean?


This means hiring a professional to evaluate a space and its furnishings then either reorganizing pieces in a new, fresh way or supplementing the furnishings with pieces that often help set a neutral tone.


Even if you don't hire a professional, you can still benefit from some staging tips:


  • CLEAN: A super clean and fresh home is inviting to potential home buyers.


  • DEPERSONALIZE: Nix the personal photos and souvenirs from travels. Stick to furnishings that have mass appeal.


  • NEUTRAL: Neutral colors - both in paint and furnishings - offer a clean slate for buyers to picture their items in.


  • MINOR REPAIRS: Try touching up scuffs or snags around the house. These small details can help elevate the space.
