With interest rates as high as they have been in 20 years, buyers are
understandably getting more selective when searching for homes. If
you want your home to move quickly, it may need to be picture-perfect in this market.
But sprucing up a property needs to be strategic to maximize results.
That’s where a real estate professional and home stager can come in to help.
Staging a home for sale is a different art than interior decorating. It
involves preparing a home to feel like a potential purchase for a buyer,
rather than having them feel like a guest in someone else’s. This
includes addressing décor choices, removing personalization and
maximizing the home’s strong suits while distracting from it’s weak
ones.
