You don’t have to invest in model furniture or massive renovations to properly stage and prepare a home; there are plenty of little things you can do, from cleanup and repair to decorating, that will increase your home’s worth in your buyers’ eyes.
There’s no one way to sell a home. Some people will choose to sell their home while they are still living in it, and others will wait until they’ve moved elsewhere. Preparing your home for a successful sale in Massachusetts includes thorough planning. Home staging is important and is that happy medium – while the owners no longer reside there, the home is “staged”, or decorated with furniture and products to make it look and feel as it would when the new resident is all moved in.
Preparing your home to sell doesn’t just include cleaning the inside and making sure your “stuff” is put away and out of sight. Preparing your home includes a few extras that will make buyers fall in love and most importantly – they will be able to see themselves in the home. Preparing your home for sale simply helps to land sales – it can also increase the final sale price. When people buy a house, what they’re really shopping for is a home.
Preparing your home in another often used term is “staging”. Staging helps buyers visualize what their future home could be – instead of an empty house, they see a fully-furnished living space. They pull up to the house and say “oh, it looks so beautiful” and they can’t wait to get inside! Preparing your home the right way is not as complex as it may seem but it is of the utmost importance! I have seen homes that have sold but did not get the buyer traffic that it should have – if the front yard was cleaned up a bit, or flowers planted outside the front door, or if the maroon color on the bedroom wall was updated to a lighter color that would have made it look larger than it actually was, and more inviting overall.
Often, staged homes stand out in buyers’ minds. Think about it – wouldn’t you rather see photos of homes that actually look like somewhere you can see yourself driving home to every night?
How do you go about home preparing your home, or “staging” ? There are a number of techniques you can utilize to get your home staged, and which ones you use will depend largely on the type of home you’re trying to sell, and which features you want to help stand out within the property.
These techniques can range from simple things like hiding family photos to large-scale projects like re-painting old rooms. Whether you want a few quick fixes or a full-scale staging project, there’s a tip in this guide you can implement right away to improve the value of your home.Home staging doesn’t have to be an expensive process.

I personally love to help staging homes, and I work with professional home staging companies who do amazing things using items that are already in the home. They have the eye to move things around, paint a wall, rearrange furniture and boom….the little things make the difference! There are homes need a bit more than rearranging the already existing items but whatever it is, it will help to make the home sell much faster and for top dollar!
