There are many levels of "home staging." You don't need to spend thousands to stage a home. One of the key methods for preparing your house for showings is to make it appear inviting to others. Stage the contents of the home in such a way that others can imagine themselves living there.

Remember that an empty-looking house may negatively affect your offers, and that a messy, cluttered house will turn people away and not be very inviting. Some simple 1-2-3 rules for staging are:

1.  De-clutter and clean everything.

2.  Paint with neutral colors.

3.  Spice-up the outside for great first-impressions.

If you are a do-it-yourselfer, remember to not leave any projects undone. If you are hiring someone to come in and prepare your home for you, be certain to research who you hire.
