Staging is a critical step in the home selling process. It makes your house stand out in listing photos and helps appeal to a wide range of potential buyers. A well-staged home will mask years of wear and tear and help it sell faster and for more money!

Here are a few home staging mistakes to avoid so you can sell your space quickly and efficiently.

Neglecting Simple Home Improvements

Areas that require attention and are inexpensive to fix are worth going the extra mile to take care of. It allows for clearer professional images and shows potential buyers that the home was taken care of.

Making easy upgrades to your space, like adding a coat of fresh paint, and updating light fixtures, can take decades off the look of a house and add so much more value than cost.

Mistaking Cleaning for Staging

Many sellers think that cleaning and doing a little organizing is the same as staging, which it is not. Staging is merchandising a home to appeal to potential buyers. You focus on highlighting the home’s features and deemphasizing the home’s flaws. You create emotional connection points throughout the home to give the buyer a glimpse of what their life could be like if they were to purchase your home.

Failing to Think About the Potential Buyer

Is your buyer most likely to be a young family? A single professional? Empty nesters? You want buyers to see your place as somewhere that fits their lifestyle, so give some thought to who might be most interested in your location and type of dwelling.

Pro Tip: Resist the urge to go overboard with super-specific decor. You want your home to appeal to as many people as possible!
