Exterior
Buyers start by looking at the exterior of your home. Welcome them in-person or online with a well-kept curb appeal.

Two cheery Adirondack chairs added a fun pop of color to this wide lot.
Foyer
Just like the exterior, front entrances and foyers should create positive first impressions.

Adding a round black mirror to the foyer instantly added depth and dimension to the small entry. The non-slip entryway runner also warmed up the space.
Living Room
Staging is all about making spaces appeal to the largest audience of potential buyers, and you accomplish that by decluttering and depersonalizing.

For less than $50, this sofa slipcover quickly and easily transformed the damaged couch.
Dining Room
There’s a time to experiment with “fun” paint colors but when trying to sell is not the time. Clean neutrals are the way to go.

Lighting makes a home feel warm and welcoming. This pendant conversion kit and linen drum shade turned a recessed can into a show-stopping centerpiece over the dining room table.
Black and white French-inspired bistro chairs with a bowl of faux lemons added a sophisticated touch to the dining room.
Eat-In Kitchen
Potential buyers may be turned off by pet odors or be allergic to fur and dander. Thoroughly clean areas where your pets spend most of their time.

Backyards are an extension of the property’s living space. It’s important they get the same styling care and detail as the interior.
