I was trying to explain the merits of Staging the other day and remembered an old episode of The Cosby Show. I loved the Huxtables! Anyway, Cliff (aka. Mr. Bill Cosby) was explaining to Vanessa's fiance, Dabnis, why he and Clair (aka. the great Philicia Rashad) had such a negative first impression of him. Their first meeting of their future son-in-law was that of an older, non-college educated man. Certainly not what they had expected for their daughter. Of course, as they got to know him they realized that he was a good person and good fit for their daughter. Cliff explained to Dabnis that it was as if you took a delicious meal and presented it on a garbage can lid. Not very appealing even though the content was nice. It's all in the presentation!
Isn't that what we all do when Staging a house for sale: make sure that we are presenting it in the best possible manner; one that will appeal to a broad range of buyers, and one that will make a good first impression.
Which bedroom would a Buyer envision as their child's room?
