“You never get a second chance at a first impression.”  We’ve all heard this expression before.  And now, while you are preparing your house to sell, it should not be far from your mind.

We all love the shows where staging means a crew of men and women wearing tool belts and hard hats, walls being torn down, new furniture and a huge budget, THAT IS NOT WHAT THIS IS. And it is so not necessary. Effective staging to sell evaluates a home's selling features and highlights those features. Sometimes (often times actually) it's wise to repaint, change hardware on doors and cabinets, assess floor conditions etc but the real art in staging is not in the accessories, it's in the home itself.
