When selling your home, you'll want to ensure that it looks its best.
Homes that are well-presented and attractive can make a great impression on potential buyers. You want the house hunters to feel a connection with your home, and find something that resonates with them and makes them feel like they belong there.
One of the best ways to ensure that your home is looking its absolute best is with home staging. Whether you call in a professional home stager or do it yourself, it’s important to have a plan for getting the most out of your staging efforts.
Read on for some common pitfalls of home staging –and tips to get your home in tip-top shape!
1. Not Having the Home Professionally Cleaned

A professional cleaner will help to tackle any carpet stains or odors that may be present, and can help to give your home a fresh, new feel –exactly what your buyers will be looking for.
2. Assuming that Staging Will Hide Problems With the Home
