Whether you’re a homeowner or a real estate agent, working with a home stager is a great way to showcase the best features of a property and allow anyone that walks through the front door to vision their life in the space. And what better way to sell a home than to create an environment potential buyers could dream of their future in?

If you’re ready to list your house, have it sell fast and for more money, follow these tips for working with a home stager.

Do an Initial Walk-Through

Before your home stager gets to work, do an initial walk-through of your home to see what their vision is for the space so you have a better idea of what furniture will be where and what the end result will be.

Ask Questions

If it’s your first time working with a home stager, make sure you ask any and every question you have! It’s always better to know exactly what the process is like and what you can expect from working together than be unaware of what’s going on. A few questions we recommend asking include:

How can I prepare for staging?
Are there any tasks I can tackle myself?
What are the most important areas to stage in the home?
What happens to the furniture after staging? If the new home buyers are interested in buying it, is that possible?
Can I stay in the home after it’s staged?

Communicate Any Updates to the Stager

Have you received offers on the home and are working through the decision process? Let your stager know! Once you’ve accepted an offer and have dates for inspections and closing, you’ll want to communicate this information with the stager so that they can remove any furniture and decor from the home.
