HOW TO SET THE STAGE<br />
WHAT A BUYER LOOKS FOR<br />
To make sure your home’s great<br />
features stand out, “stage” your home<br />
for a great first impression.<br />
WHAT IS “STAGING”?<br />
Staging is arranging a home to<br />
maximize viewing impact to achieve<br />
a higher perceived value and higher<br />
price. You can hire a professional<br />
stager (we have talented people we<br />
can recommend), or, if you can look at<br />
your home with a critical eye, you can<br />
save money by doing it yourself.<br />
GO WITH THE FLOW<br />
Beginning at your front door, observe how a visitor might walk through each<br />
room, and from room to room. Make sure pathways are clean, clear from clutter,<br />
and promote flow, and that furniture is properly placed.<br />
CREATE A CLEAN SLATE<br />
Buyers prefer clean open spaces, and need to visualize the home as their own.<br />
Help them do this by removing about one-third of your current furnishings and<br />
at least half of all your personal items.<br />
LIGHTS SET THE “STAGE”<br />
Proper furniture placement can help bring out a room’s full potential, but lighting<br />
is key. Turn on all the lights before your showings take place.<br />

LAST MINUTE CHECK<br />
Before a showing, be sure to perform a last minute “spot check”. Give the sofa<br />
pillows a final fluffing, freshen the air, and make sure the home shows in it’s<br />
best light!<br />
A little “Home Staging” will help you show your home at its very best.<br />
