Home staging is the art/science of preparing a residence for sale. It includes combines elements of lighting and color, use of space, and emotional triggers to help make a home appear “more desirable” to a potential buyer.

In this 5-minute video from the NBC Today Show, real estate expert Barbara Corcoran shows how to stage within a budget, and how to do it quickly.

In less than 48 hours, Corcoran and her crew convert a “stale” listing that’s been listed for 6-plus months, turning it into a home with curb appeal and good looks. And they do it for less than $700.

Home staging can be do-it-yourself endeavor, but hiring a professional usually helps squeeze extra dollars from a sale price. If you’d like a referral to a trusted home staging professional, reach out to me by phone or by email.
