“This feels like home. But better. I want to live like this.” It highlights space. It downplays flaws. It makes your home look like it’s already been loved and lived in—by a cooler, cleaner version of themselves. And most importantly: It makes your home stand out, even in a sea of similar listings. Bonus Fact: Staging Doesn’t Just Work for Fancy Places This isn’t just for million-dollar penthouses. Staging works on: • Townhomes • Single-family homes
• Condos • Cabins
• Even that house you think “just needs the right buyer with imagination” (spoiler: most buyers lack imagination) If you're thinking, "But I have nice furniture already!" — staging isn't about your stuff. It’s about neutral, stylish decor that creates a feeling of lifestyle and possibility. Translation: Less “family photo gallery,” more “this could be
your Pinterest dream.” Points to Remember:
• Staging sells. Period. • A staged home can sell for tens (or hundreds) of thousands more than a similar unstaged one.
• Buyers shop emotionally. Give them a feeling to buy into. • This strategy works in any market, on any property type. • Even if you don’t live like an HGTV host, your home can look like one does. So, want to sell like the rich and famous? Dust off your throw pillows, fluff up the vibe, and stage it like it's going on the cover of a magazine. Because when it looks like a dream home, someone will pay like it is one. Coming up next: the how-to of staging your home like a pro—even if your current style is more “cozy chaos” than “chic calm.”
