You've seen the shows : Million Dollar Listing etc. What really sells these gorgeous homes, or even the homes that you already own but fell in love with again? Staging. Staging? Yes, staging.

These are some tips on how to best stage your home in a way that sells :

1. Remove clutter. Refrigerator magnets. Counter spaces. Extra toothbrushes no one uses anymore. You know what we are talking about. Sometimes more isn't better. When it comes to selling, less is best most of the time! 

2. Add color. The first impression of a potential buyer happens at the front yard and/or porch. Adding color can take the a dull first impression to a wowing one! Here on the Emerald Coast, we have a great mixture of both neutral home design and colorful "beach" tones. Remember, the right color for you also depends on the house location. Bring in your surrounding environment colors to your front porch. (That tip is free. ;) ) 

3. Clean. The power of clean baseboards and dustless ceiling fans goes a long way. Don't believe us? Walk in someone else's home and look at the seemingly insignificant areas. (Or better yet, don't. ;) ) It is an indicator on how well the house was kept up.
