Staging a House for Sale

Staging a house for sale will help it sell more quickly in the tough market we are currently experiencing.

Staging positions your home as one that is well-cared for, spacious, organized and functional. By paying attention to our suggestions for updating, the house will present itself as current and not out-of-date. Buyers are looking for just these characteristics in a home when they are out looking for a new place to live. Staging gives them what they want, and in so doing, you will get what you want which is a sale.

How do you go about staging a house for sale? Like anything, it's best to start at the beginning. When you are selling a house, the beginning is to prepare the house for sale. This is the general fix-up stage where you make sure that everything is is good working order and functioning as it should. We call this our Step 1 and you can get all the tips and instructions how to do this by going to Preparing a Home for Sale.

The next step is to get the home cleaned, organized and decluttered. You can't sell the space in a home if it is full of "stuff". We advise that you spend quite some time in this stage of the process. The particulars of this step can be found in Clean, Organize and Declutter where we take you through each room one-by-one and give you tips and ideas of how to get the home in tip-top uncluttered shape.

Finally, once the home is in perfect working order and everything is clean and uncluttered, we show you how to stage each space in Design to Sell Fast! which is our third and final step.

Along the way, we have information on home staging careers and education as well as more ideas and resources for you. Check out our two additional pages on staging to sell by going to Staging a Home to Sell or Staging a Home for Sale. We also have information on the skills that Stagers need to create successful spaces.
