Home Staging-Preparing for the Stager to Arrive

Staging of homes on the market is becoming increasingly popular. When buyers walk through model homes in a community, the homes are designed to appeal to every sense. Buyers react emotionally to an attractive, beautifully decorated home that provides "ease of move in", if only mentally!
Sellers of resale homes should consider staging a home so that the home appeals to a wide variety of buyers. Before staging begins, it is important to thoroughly clean the home. Kitchens, baths, floors, windows, light fixtures, etc. should literally sparkle! Carpets should be clean or replaced and should not show signs of excessive wear.
Secondly, before the stager arrives, the seller should declutter. Paperwork, collections, numerous family photos, refrigerator artwork, etc. needs to go! Pack up as much as possible in closets and other storage areas. Remember the goal is to sell and move. Eventually you are going to have to pack boxes anyway, so why not get started now?
Why not call Carol and Erol Knott today and put them to work for you? Part of their marketing plan is hiring a stager on your behalf!
