How Do You Know if YOUR Home Needs
Home Staging?
As I said, the way you live in your home is NOT the way you present it for
sale! How do you know if you need a property stylist to work with you on the
presentation of your home?
You must address your home’s presentation BEFORE you go to market if:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
It’s vacant (95% of people can’t visualize it if you don’t show it to them
– so a vacant house confuses buyers as they don’t know where to put
their furniture… or even if it will fit!)
It has a few empty rooms (remember, you are selling EVERY room
and your buyer will wonder why these rooms are empty. They might
wonder if there is a problem as it just doesn’t make sense)
It has a couple of rooms currently being used as ‘junk rooms’ where
you store all your excess stuff (these rooms need to be showcased too)
It’s cluttered with your personal possessions
It has over-sized or outdated furniture
It’s decorated in a very personal way that will be a turn-off
It has strong colours that will be a turn-off
