276: How Do You Stage a House? A Guide for Consumers

If you’re getting ready to sell a home, this episode is for you! Today we’re going all in on staging tips for sellers—from what to clean to what to add (and what to hide!). Join us as we break down the most effective ways to prepare your home for the market, help buyers imagine themselves living there, and ultimately, get the best possible sale. Whether it’s clearing clutter, freshening up with neutral colors, or staging each room with intention, these strategies can mean the difference between “For Sale” and “Sold!”

 

Some of the tips we cover:

• The checklist of “must-dos” for any seller to make a great first impression

• Why your online listing photos matter and how to prep for them

• Levels of staging: occupied vs. vacant homes and what to consider for each

• Budgeting for staging and the impact of making simple updates

• How to manage smells, lighting, and even music during showings

• Specific tricks to make kitchens, bathrooms, and closets feel open and fresh

• Outdoor must-haves: making sure the landscaping enhances the home, not detracts

• When to invest in upgrades like carpet replacement or fresh paint

 

Don’t let your home go on the market without this advice! It’s all about setting the right mood and creating a space that invites buyers to see their future home.
