When selling your home, staging each room to look inviting, desirable and picture-perfect helps potential buyers to imagine themselves living in the home. Buyers are drawn in by the “mood” of each room such as relaxed seating areas with room to entertain, spa-like looks in a bath, delightfully calming bedrooms, and tranquil outside spaces.

Taking staging a bit deeper, you can offer stories about your home to provide a glimpse into its unique, historic or personal past. Create a scrapbook, photo album or posterboards to display your home’s stories. Your home doesn’t need to be historic or high-end, but the stories you share can intrigue buyers.

Buyers are often interested by the background and roots of a home. Highlight the important aspects of your home and tie them into the house story. If a notable person or family lived there once upon a time, be sure to let buyers know. The same goes for its history being close to points of interest such a train stations, museums, old buildings, etc. Perhaps an important event took place at your home or on your street long, long ago.

Buyers are interestes in any information about the builder who designed the home, the style of architecture or materials used to construct the home. Photos of before & after remodeling projects, spring blooms and fall colors, garden features - or perhaps a photo of a fish caught in the property’s pond or prize roses grown in the garden. If you built your house for a specific reason at a certain time, share those tidbits too. Tell the story of who lived in your home and where they are today… or where they are going.
