As the infographic below shows, the following five golden rules of home staging will help you show off its best assets:

Great info on staging. Is there a way to print without ads on right side?
Hi Mary –
If you email me at nick@rismedia.com, I can send you the file. Otherwise, you can try right-clicking and then “Save Image As” and that should do it for you as well!
I wasn’t able to work with the right-click version. Could you please forward me the file as well?
Thanks!

Hi Nick,
Very useful information on staging. Please email the file so I can provide it to my sellers. Thanks a lot.
Hi Nick,
I tried the right click save image as, only saves the whole thing as one non scroll file. Could you please send to me also. Thanks,
Very well done!
This is great information. I appreciate it.

Well written article. Not too wordy. Would you send me the file as well? Thanks
Great Article that can be shared with our sellers!
also, leave pets at a sitter if you can
curb appeal, first impressions are extremely importants, lawns should be mowed and edged at a minimum, paint the front door if its needed
leave lights and heat on when you know the house could be shown
smells and odors, brew a pot of coffee in the morning, heat up or bake something in the morning
Please send me the article, too. This is very useful because it isn’t me criticizing their home but an expert giving advice. thanks.

One more request for file – carolbarkstrom@earthlink.net Great Stuff
Staging a home to emphasize the main features of the home such as these http://www.brettcairns.com/buy-a-home/custom-home-features/ often pays off when selling. Buyers are looking for certain things in a home and when they are there and present well a number of their needs are met. Neutral, updated and move in ready are what most buyers seem to be looking for.
This is GREAT information. Please send me the file as well.
Thanking you in advance,

One thing to add concerning the curb appeal and the front porch. Someone mentioned that should be clean as their clients are looking around as they open the door. The door lock! If you can’t get into the house due to a lock in which the sellers know all the tricks to opening, but the agent does not, it makes a bad first impression. Buyers wonder…if the door lock doesn’t work what else have they left go? Please oil the lock or replace.
Great job! Could you please email me the link. Thanks, Paul
Very informative and helpful blog and what a beautiful infographics. Thanks for sharing
Definitely agree, we should be able to present the property to potential buyers in the best possible way. Staging makes it to a whole new level. Another option so that you don’t need to stage when selling is to sell it to cash buyers like Central Valley House Buyer. This is a great post, thank you for sharing!
When it comes to smell, nothing beats the aroma of freshly baked cookies. I recommend getting slice-n-bake cookies in the refrigerator aisle of the supermarket. Just pop a single cookie in the oven about 30 mins before buyers are coming. The smell is seductive.
Great article on staging. 5 years later and still “fits the bill”. Would appreciate a copy of the article also – could not get it to print by right-clicking. Thank you for sharing
