Want Top Dollar for Your Home? Stage It Like a Pro (Without Breaking the Bank)


🏡 Want Top Dollar for Your Home? Stage It Like a Pro (Without Breaking the Bank)

Buyers in the PNW have more homes to choose from this season, which means your home needs to shine. One of the easiest ways to do that? ✨ Staging.

But don’t worry—it’s not about turning your house into a showroom. It’s about making it feel move-in ready so buyers can picture themselves living there.

🔍 What Is Staging?

Think of it as a refresh—not a remodel. Whether it’s decluttering, rearranging furniture, or adding a few cozy touches, staging helps buyers emotionally connect to your space.

And here’s the thing: staged homes sell faster and for more money than unstaged ones. In fact, according to the National Association of Realtors:

🛋️ Living rooms, primary bedrooms, and kitchens are the most impactful rooms to stage.

🎯 In Our Local Market…

In Snohomish County, we’re still seeing multiple offers—but buyers are becoming pickier. With more inventory hitting the market, a staged home instantly stands out in online photos and open houses.

💡 You Don’t Have To Do It Alone

As your local real estate expert, I’ll walk through your home with you and offer easy, budget-friendly suggestions:
✔️ Remove personal photos
✔️ Rework furniture layouts
✔️ Add greenery or neutral artwork
✔️ Let in natural light (yes, even in the PNW 🌦️)

And if your home needs a bigger transformation? I’ve got trusted stagers who can help, and I’ll guide you on whether it’s worth the investment. (Hint: it often is.)

đź’° Real Talk About Cost:

  • DIY or agent-staged: ~$500

  • Pro stager: ~$2,500
    But even a small investment can pay off big in the final sale price.
