As the holiday season approaches, many of us find ourselves dusting off a skill that I use year-round in my real estate business — home staging. Perhaps you’re arranging the perfect holiday table. Or maybe you are decorating the house to welcome guests. Either way, you’re tapping into the same principles I use to help homes stand out on the market.
Similar to making your home feel cozy and inviting for the holidays. Home staging is about creating a space where people can envision their future memories. It’s the art of highlighting the best features of a home. Making it feel welcoming, spacious and full of potential.
Since I started this blog, I have posted several times about staging. Some of the basic staging tips most of those posts cover are:
- Declutter and depersonalize.
- Highlight functional spaces
- Illuminate your space and maximize natural light
- Strategically place furniture placement so that you emphasize space and flow.
- First impressions really do matter, so make sure to enhance your curb appeal.
This skill is one of the reasons I’m able to help my clients sell their homes quickly and for top dollar. If you or someone you know is thinking about selling their home soon, I’d be happy to offer my expertise to ensure a smooth and profitable process. Feel free to reach out! I’d love to assist your family and friends in getting the best outcome from their home sale!
