Staging is the fine art of merchandising a home to make it more appealing to prospective buyers and draw their attention to nuances they might otherwise overlook.  It can involve adding, removing or rearranging furniture, placing accessories, and painting.

When sellers stage a home, the goal is often to work with what you have in order to keep costs to a minimum.  However, more and more sellers are hiring professional stagers and, in some cases - particularly in large, more outdated homes, staging costs can run into thousands of dollars.  Those costs can easily be recouped in terms of increased selling price and decreased market time.

Determining the best way to stage your home starts with noting the unique elements you want to highlight, in addition to any problem areas you want to downplay.  If your built-in bookshelf is impressive, replace the books with a couple of notable displays on each shelf.  If your entryway is a standout feature, make one item the focal point of the space.  Place fresh flowers and candles in a bathroom to make it more inviting.
