Staging your property can bring in a ton of traffic. Barb is here to answer a few questions about staging.

  1. How can we bring accessories into the property? Why do accessories help? Oftentimes, we’ll bring accessories into the property in order to neutralize the decor. Let’s say you have a modern style. We want to broaden the appeal to a wide range of buyers, not just those who like modern accessories. Rather than the seller investing in what they won’t use, we recently acquired a storage facility for accessories. That way, we can bring them in free of charge. Consider these items as props until the house closes.
  1. Why are paint and carpet so important? Paint and carpet are two of the biggest areas where sellers can recapture their value. We like to get there ahead of time to help you choose the right carpet and paint colors. Remember, it’s important to think neutral. We work with a couple of different vendors that can help update your home. We trust them not to oversell. We want buyers to see that the carpet is fresh, because that helps raise the value of the property.

  1. What other small updates do you recommend? We want to make the process as stress-free as possible for our sellers. We will help with simple upgrades like switching out a light fixture or mirror. Sometimes, that’s all it takes to give a space a whole new look. We will pick up a mirror on occasion, but we are not trying to spend your money. We are just looking to maximize your return.

If you have any other questions for us, give us a call or send us an email. We look forward to hearing from you!

I always tell sellers that how you live in a home day-to-day and how we set it up to sell are always a little bit different. 

We recommend early packing. Sellers can find this part challenging, but afterward, they find that it's the thing that they most appreciate when they get that offer on their home. We'll come in and consult with you on which pieces are best to pack early, like furniture, art, or accessories.


Since you're moving, you're going
to have to pack anyway.


Since you're moving, you're going to have to pack anyway, so we simply help decide which pieces are better to pack early. Then, we can work with what you have left to maximize the space and direct the eye to the home’s selling features. We want potential buyers focused on those aspects of the property.

If you have any questions about early packing, give us a call and we can help you out!

I'm joined today by my assistant Barb Larsen to talk a bit about staging. She's been staging for almost 10 years. It's been a passion of hers for a decade.


Staging your home gets fantastic results.


We recognized early that there are two things that impact the sale of a home: price and condition. To address the condition part, we started using staging as part of our free service, and we've had just fantastic results from it.

If you have questions about staging or are considering buying or selling a home, please feel free to reach out to us. We'd love to help!
