Buyers decide in the first few minutes—make it count.

General Michele McGarvey 10 Jul

Did you know that professionally staged homes often sell faster and for a higher price? Regardless of market conditions, a great first impression can make all the difference.

Staging doesn’t require major renovations. Simple steps like decluttering, rearranging furniture, updating décor, and adding greenery can transform a space.

Summer is the perfect time to showcase your home:

  • Let in as much natural light as possible to make rooms feel bright and spacious.
  • Use light, neutral tones with a few accents to create a warm, inviting atmosphere.
  • Spruce up outdoor areas—tidy the yard, add a few planters, and stage the patio or balcony to show off extra living space.

Whether you’re selling a newer home or an older character property, staging helps buyers see the full potential of your space.
