Home staging isn’t just a design upgrade - it’s a proven marketing strategy that helps homes sell faster and for more money. It’s also a growing trend! Every year, agents reach out curious about the process and how they can include staging as a service. Unfortunately, many agents hesitate to pitch staging to their sellers because they’re unsure how to position the cost with sellers. The good news? There’s no one-size-fits-all approach. Below are several effective, professiona

As a home stager, I’ve watched countless buyers walk through front doors and form instant impressions - often within seconds. And if there’s one design element that consistently transforms those first moments, it’s the strategic use of white . White is more than a color; it’s a feeling.

Some sellers are upsizing, downsizing, relocating or getting divorced. Sometimes it isn’t even their home — maybe it’s their childhood house, and their p

Selling a home during the holiday season can be a challenge. On one hand, there’s less competition with fewer homes on the market, but on the other, potential buyers may be distracted by the busyness of the season. If you’re looking to sell your home and decorate for the holidays at the same time, you need to strike a balance between creating a festive atmosphere and ensuring your home appeals to buyers. Here’s how to stage your home for the holidays while keeping it market-r

Who Should Pay for Home Staging Services: Sellers or Agents? When it comes to selling a home, first impressions are everything. In a competitive real estate market, it’s not enough to simply clean and declutter your property; to stand out, homes need to be presented in the best possible light.
