Susan Smith of Rooms that Work in Farmington, CT wrote a beautiful blog post called “What is home staging? How about what it is NOT!” on her Blogger site. This beautiful inventory of facts from my fellow stager and activerain member really impressed me. Below is a sampling of her list.

Home Staging is NOT:

“…Decorating - Anyone can make a home look decorated. Staging is about marketing your home to your target buyer. In fact, personal taste has nothing to do with it. It’s about making a great first impression that creates an emotional connection with buyers and helps them imagine themselves living there.”

“…Just for high-end homes - Every home deserves the best chance at selling quickly and for top dollar whether a starter home or a mansion. Remember, you are competing with other homes within your price range!…”

The list continues with 8 more facts on what staging is not. Check out Susan’s blog to read the rest. You’ll be surprised!
