Set the Stage for Home Sales with 8 Simple Staging Tips
If you are trying to sell your home, you want to entice potential home buyers and sell as quickly as possible. Here are our Top 8 Home Staging Tips to “set the stage for a faster home sale”. #sellitfaster
- Curb Appeal: The first thing potential home buyers see is the view from road. Boost your curb appeal by power washing walkways and siding, adding large house numbers, and washing windows. No matter how small or large your porch, place a welcome mat, plants, or furniture to maximize appeal.
- Clean, Clean, Clean: You want to showcase the best parts of your home, so cleaning is extremely important. Consider hiring cleaning pros to help your home really sparkle and shine.
- De-Clutter: The more of your home a potential buyer sees, the better. Clear clutter away, even storing offsite if necessary. You don’t have to remove every personal item – after all, potential buyers know you live there. Balance is key.
- Dining Style: Style formal dining rooms with smaller centerpieces and accents for a less-formal, inviting appeal.
- Look at the Floor: Have solid floors cleaned and carpets steamed before showing. If your hardwoods look too worn, consider having them refinished, or invest in some chic area rugs.
- Arrange Furniture: Create an inviting conversation area in the living room by pulling furniture off the walls and arranging it in cozy, symmetrical pairs.
- Gender Neutrals: Overall, the most inviting homes are painted in neutral shades that are gender neutral and easy to accessorize.
- Organize Toys: There is no doubt that families with children will view your home. Organize kid-friendly spaces so they are inviting and show off the potential for a well-organized kids zone.

What Our Clients Say
“I only post virtually staged photos by VSP for my vacant listings and it is an excellent service instead of having blank rooms for buyers to view online.”
MARTHA MAY, Realtor | Koenig & Strey – Illinois
“We received 2 offers in less than a week and a half. The property was listed with vacant photos for over 220 days on the market with no offers. Many buyers passed on the house but after posting the virtual photos, they changed their minds and we definitely saw an increase in buyer traffic!”
TRISH BRADLEY, Agent | Rutledge Properties – Massachusettes
“Our vacant property was listed for sale with no offers for over 90 days and after virtual staging of the photos took place, we instantly saw an increase in buyer traffic and got an offer in less than 4 weeks. The buyers liked the photos which helped them with decorating ideas for the home.”
JEANNIE THOMPSON, Agent | Long & Foster – Virginia
“The unfurnished townhome we had listed had been on the market for 4 months until we decided to engage in virtual staging. I had the townhome professionally photographed and then had the photos virtually staged and they were so realistic. We had a binding contract within 2 weeks after posting the virtual photos!”
ERIC BROOKS, Realtor | Wydler Brooks Real Estate – Virginia
“Virtually Staging Properties offers a phenomenal service! I have listings that have little to no furnishings and need to be brought to life and VSP does just that. My clients love the product and my virtual photos get wonderful internet exposure. I have sold every virtually staged home by VSP faster and will recommend the service to my Realtor colleagues. Thank You!!”
