When staging your home, you'll want to avoid having too little furniture since this makes rooms look cold and empty. Lousy paint jobs and stained carpeting also sends a message that the home isn't well-maintained. Having too much wall art, toys, and books can also lower offers, while not having area rugs or plants can make the house look unfinished. Lastly, don't forget about curb appeal! A good home stager will make sure your house gives a great first impression.
