The foundation of good home staging is a home that is in the best condition possible. Buyers respond to cleanliness and feeling a home has been well cared for and maintained. Putting your home on the market without some cleaning and simple maintenance leaves the door open to buyers making reduced offers. Subconsciously they deduct value for any repairs or maintenance they see need attention.
Hire a home stager who will give you an honest evaluation of your home's interior and exterior condition. Find out if the staging company you're considering has experience with real estate, the local market and understands what adds value in your neighborhood. Are they knowledgeable about what buyers expect in a move in ready home? Do they know what to do with the front entry to make a great first impression? Will they be willing to get their hands dirty painting or planting if needed? Staging a home is much more than furniture placement and flower arrangements.
