Home staging

Styling a home to speed up the sale and improve the price.

Home staging means preparing and styling a home — decluttering, minor repairs and neutral décor — to make it more appealing to buyers. The aim is to shorten the time on the market and limit downward negotiation.

It can range from simple adjustments to a full makeover, including virtual staging for online listings.

For the seller

A well-presented home often sells faster and at a better price; the photos are decisive, since most buyers begin their search online.
