Transform Your Home with These Staging Tips!

August 30, 2024

Staging your home can make a big difference in attracting buyers and speeding up the sale. Whether you choose to hire a professional stager or handle it yourself, here are some clear tips to boost your home’s appeal:

  • Declutter: Remove unnecessary items to create a clean and spacious feel. Go through your house and decide what to toss and what to keep; for the items that you keep, find a home for each item or consider packing up in storage.
  • Rearrange Furniture: Position furniture to create clear pathways and highlight each room’s best features. For example, place a sofa to face a focal point like a fireplace or large window, and ensure there’s enough space around furniture for easy movement.
  • Add Fresh Touches: Use neutral colors and add simple decor elements like fresh flowers or new cushions to brighten up the space.
  • Clean and Repair: Ensure your home is spotless and make any minor repairs. Fix leaky faucets, touch up paint, and clean carpets to give a well-maintained impression.

Even if you’re not planning to sell just yet, these staging principles can help you see your home in a new light and make it feel fresh and welcoming.

I’ve talked clients out of buying or selling before…and I’d do it again.
Because a home should move you toward your goals, not away from them.
Before making a move, let’s look at the big picture: your priorities, the market, and what truly makes sense long-term.

When people move to Lake Oswego, they often think it’s all about the beautiful homes, top schools, and proximity to Portland.

But what makes people stay?
Morning walks by the lake.
Cafe’s where they know your name.
A downtown that still feels small-town.
Easy access to trails, parks, and water.
Neighbors who look out for each other.
Weekends that unfold without a plan.
That perfect balance of calm and convenience.
A community that feels connected, grounded, and proud to call this place home.

If you’re thinking about calling Lake Oswego home, this is what it’s really like to live here... not just visit.

There’s something about Pacific City, the quiet stretch of beach, the sunset glow, and the bald eagle that sometimes walks right along the shore near its nest. 🌅

It’s simple, beautiful, and everything I love about Oregon.

Less is more… especially when selling your home! 👏

Think of it as pre-moving day prep: take it to the dump, donate what you don’t need, and pack up the rest. Your future self (and your listing photos) will thank you. 📦📸

What’s lurking in your crawl space? 👀
Could be rodents, fallen ducting, or standing water.
Sellers, check it before you list.
Buyers, if I’m representing you, were absolutely checking it before you buy.
