The Seven Letter Word

S T A G I N G

That's right. I said it. Staging.

If it can help sell your home, why in the world wouldn't you? Before ever knowing the term, I staged my condo when I put it on the market 10 years ago. By the time I sold my previous home almost two years ago I had learned that there was a name for what I had done: staging. I love looking at a staged home, if nothing else you get credit for caring and trying in my book.

I say go for it! Put away that clutter, start that packing, neutralize, depersonalize, sanitize your heart out. It just might make that difference, and heck, what harm could it do???

Maybe I should just go whole hog and become a professional stager, that would just be too much fun, I'd feel guilty charging!
