STAGING TIPS FOR HOME SELLERS

1. Start with the entryway - Make sure the entryway is inviting and free of clutter. Ensure the front door is freshly painted and the doormat is clean. Place a few potted plants to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

2. Declutter and depersonalize - Remove all personal items such as family photos, collectibles, and excessive knick-knacks. Also, go through closets and cabinets to get rid of any extra items you don't need.

3. Clean and repair - Clean every room and make any necessary repairs. Fix any broken fixtures, touch up paint, and patch any holes in the wall.

4. Create a focal point - Feature one area of the home as the focal point, such as a fireplace or a built-in bookshelf. Place furniture and decorations that draw attention to this area.

5. Let in natural light - Open the curtains and blinds to let in natural light. Be sure to dust off any windows and mirrors so they sparkle in the light.

Good Luck!
