Staging: Make Sure Everything Works!

This dining room was already a beautiful, well appointed room. A few pieces of artwork were removed or changed to make the room feel less crowded, but the elephant in the room was the beautiful light fixture--the one with one bulb that refused to work no matter what we replaced. So, we replaced the whole fixture. One really important thing to remember when staging is that selling a home is not just about having the right color of throw pillows. The home needs to be in excellent repair. Every little thing that doesn't work tells the buyers you just don't care about maintenance, and that is NOT the message you want your house to send.
