I love staging a home, and this post shows what a great difference it can make. As  Michelle Finnamore says:

Light and space sell homes.

Give buyers what they are looking for and they will make an offer.

In home staging your purpose is to highlight the features and focal points of a property for sale.

When you list a house, you really want to premept objections by showing the property in its best light.

Take a look at these before and after shots and see if you can pick out the features that should be shown to buyers to get the most money in the least amount of time.

In this example are you selling yellow florals in a vase and stacks of firewood or a living room with a beautiful working fireplace?

Staging allows the fireplace to become the focal point in the room.

In this example are you selling toys to buyers or an inviting living room for entertaining guests? Remember, this is not the family room. Living rooms tend to look more formal and family rooms more relaxed.

In this example are you selling a cramped, dark kitchen to buyers or a bright cheery room in which to start the day?  Light and space sell homes. Give buyers what they are looking for and they will make an offer.

As you can see,  the results of staging highlight the features of your property.

Each room must be clearly marketed so that buyers see what they are looking for when they visit your listing photos. You have to get your house on the buyers must see list and staging gives you every opportunity to make a great first impression. Sellers need to know that a professional stager will give them a marketing plan for their home that outlines the work that needs to be done and how to make it happen.

Investment, minimal.

Impact, priceless.

Thanks Linda, this is a great reblog.  I'm feeling a little depressed by a seller who refuses to change a thing and wants to just sell his home exactly the way it is. :-(
