How to stage your current home for a quick and profitable sale!

Once your home has been scrubbed, de-cluttered, and repaired,  staging your home is the last step you take before your home is ready to show. Think of staging as the difference between you getting ready for work on a regular day, and you getting ready on your wedding day.


You are clean and presentable every day, but the day you got married you went above and beyond.

We often describe our model homes as being “staged.” It is how we try to show the homes in their best light with carefully selected furnishing and décor, minus life’s day to day clutter.

Staging can help sell your home quicker and for more money so it is worth the effort.

It is all about evoking an emotional response from potential buyers.

Staging can be done by professional companies, but here are a few tricks of the trade to help you accomplish the same result:



• Use silk or wool throws over a side chair to add dimension

• Display knick-knacks in odd grouping (3,5 etc– that kind of odd– not Use plants, twigs, pinecones etc to bring in natural elements

• Re-luster furniture and cabinets to make them look richer

• Use a large bowl and fill it with fresh fruit for a focal point on your kitchen island

• Add a basket of bath products to the corner of your soaker tub

• Tie new towels with a pretty ribbon

• Use potpourri and fresh cut flowers to make your home smell pretty. Consider baking bread before a showing.

• Arrange some potted flowers or patio tomatoes on your deck and by your front door.
