Sell faster, for more with interior staging tips
Staging your home for more money and a faster sale is so effective that it is considered one of the most valuable sales tools available to Realtors®. We will help with this important part of the marketing process. It’s important that staging includes taking care of the small repairs and updates that buyers will see as they tour your home. When this step is done well, the additional touches like candles, flowers, and scents will be much more effective. Here are a few ideas to let you know some of the items on our interior staging tips checklist.
- The home should be cleaned to a like new condition
- Have the carpets steam cleaned by a professional
