3 Staging Mistakes That Could Cost You Thousands 💰 3 Staging Mistakes That Could Cost You Thousands 💰
Planning to sell your home? Avoid these common staging mistakes that can hurt your sale price and time on market:
1. Too much personal clutter & family photos 📸
Buyers need to envision their family in your space, not yours.
2. Bold colors or busy patterns 🌈
That bright accent wall might be your favorite, but it can distract buyers from seeing the room's potential.
3. Poor lighting or undersized rugs 💡
Dark spaces and tiny rugs make rooms feel cramped and smaller than they actually are.
Here's the thing: Industry data shows that properly staged homes sell 87% faster and often for significantly more money than unstaged properties.
💡 Pro tip: Start with decluttering and neutralizing your space. Sometimes simple changes make the biggest impact on how buyers perceive your home's value.
Whether you need professional staging recommendations or want guidance on DIY staging strategies, I'm here to help you maximize your home's selling potential.
