13 Tips for Staging A Home

Thinking About Selling YourHouse? Here are 13 Essential Tips for Staging a Home

Whether you’re selling your home in Chicago, IL or Vancouver, CA, staging your home and getting professional real estate photos is now more important than ever. After all, listing photos will be the first thing a potential buyer sees
of your home, and presenting a well-staged home gives the best possible first impression. A home stager will emphasize the property’s strengths and minimize its weak points. And, a photographer knows the correct lighting, angles, and minor details that give a much better depiction of the home. We asked the experts to share their best tips for staging a home to capture its selling points, stand out from the competition, and appeal to the majority of
buyers.

Think of the camera first

Not staging your home for listing photos is like showing up for new headshots without having your hair fixed and your makeup on. You’re not highlighting it at its very best. Staging provides ingredients the photographer uses to create a positive emotional response in potential buyers. –  CricketPix Real Estate

Photography:If you don’t stage your home, you’re leaving money on the table

Incorporate design elements that create a pleasant, inviting feel and allow the buyer to imagine themselves living a comfortable, enjoyable life in the space. We often see the buyer copy our staging concepts into their home after they purchase the home or they hire us with design help.  Making this connection is beneficial for both the seller and the new homeowner, and statistically brings a quicker sale for top dollar. – Lavender & Birch Home Staging & Design

Home staging tip: The key is preparation

The better you prepare your home, the better your photographs will look.
Staging will remove the personal feel of the property and present it in a way
that viewers will better be able to imagine themselves living there. –Mikael
