How Staging Works

In real estate circles, the buzzword on everyone’s lips is home staging — preparing to sell your house for top dollar by cleaning it up, clearing it out and freshening the décor. In today’s real estate market, it’s more important than ever to make your home stand out from the crowd.

“Savvy homeowners and real estate brokers are quickly discovering that paying a professional stager to make over a tired or unfurnished home pays off in big returns —  the house often sells faster and for more money than expected,” says Mary Sears of Spruce Home Staging.

Spruce partner Susan Brierly adds, “By using homeowners’ existing treasures packed in attics and garages, freshening up with well-placed accessories and a bit of paint, and making sure each room is purposeful and pulled together, homeowners often are surprised how much they can get for their property.”
