That MLS photo is small yet it is capturing an entire room. What will the buyer see in that photo?
Will they see your things? Their eyes going to the tops of cabinets where they don't need to be.
Or will the buyer's eyes focus in on your beautiful granite?
Will their eyes bounce from nick-knack to nick-knack.....wondering what that thing in the corner is? Or wonder how they could … (52 comments)
selling your home minneapolis: Tips for Selling Your Home When You Have Pets - Home Staging Minneapolis
- 01/30/19 09:29 AM
Let me be the first to say that I love animals! Love love love. That does however exclude snakes :-) But...when I put my house up for sale I had to address the issue of my dogs and what I was going to do when I had showings. It is something you need to give some serious thought to and discuss with your Real Estate Agent. Although it is disclosed that there is a an animal in the home, it is always best if the potential buyer never encounters or sees your pet. They do not always read all the disclosures or remember … (3 comments)
selling your home minneapolis: Tips for Selling Your Home When You Have Kids - Home Staging Minneapolis
- 08/17/18 12:43 PM
Selling your home is not easy nor convenient. When you have children it is even more challenging and much more inconvenient. A common theme I run into on most Home Staging Consultations is toys. It seems as though young kids just have a lot of them. I'm sure it is all because of Grandma and Grandpa. :) Many parents struggle as to what to do with all the toys that are in the living room, the dining room, their bedrooms, the family room, the bath tub and just about everywhere else. Here are my recommendations:
Toys Are Not the First Thing the Buyer Should … (1 comments)
selling your home minneapolis: Can I Decorate My Home for Christmas When It's for Sale?
- 12/01/17 06:23 AM
As a Home Stager I get that question a lot. There is a very short answer....Absolutely! Christmas is a widely celebrated holiday that most people understand. If it is your tradition I don't feel that you need to put that aside just for selling your home. The potential buyer will most likely also celebrate and decorate for Christmas and may appreciate seeing the perfect place for the tree and the warmth of the holiday in their future home. There are a few caveats, however to decorating your home for Christmas while it is for sale. That caveat being, how into Christmas are you? If … (11 comments)
That means inside and out, all levels of your home and yes the screens too. Your home does show better without the screens at all so clean them and put them in your storage area. Dirt, grim, winter grit all need to go! That includes the tracks of the window sills.
Light Fixtures:
Buyers don't know if the light fixtures are worn, corroded or just plain old dirty. Spit and polish is the key on both interior and exterior light fixtures.
Glass shower doors:

selling your home minneapolis: Advice You May Need if Selling Your Home
- 01/13/17 08:39 AM
I was at a home yesterday doing a Home Staging Consultation and I ran into an issue that I see over and over again. Lack of light! Plain and simple.....buyers do not like dark houses. I think you could look at hundreds of feedback comments on homes and never see "The house just had too much natural light." or "The house was just too bright." You just never hear that. But you do hear, "The house was so dark." or "Boy there just wasn't any natural light." Perhaps your home has all of it's windows facing north or it was built in the decades … (34 comments)
