Practical guidance on occupied home staging, from fifteen years of doing it in person, for agents preparing listings and sellers preparing homes.
The written, room-by-room plan a seller follows to prepare an occupied home for sale: what it contains, who makes it, what it costs, and whose name belongs on it.
The complete room-by-room approach to staging a home the seller still lives in: declutter, depersonalize, edit the furniture, and prepare every room to photograph well.
How to give sellers a staging plan they'll actually follow, without becoming their full-time decorator or relying on vague verbal advice at the walkthrough.
What a professional seller staging report contains, why visual examples improve follow-through, and how agents present one under their own brand.
Virtual staging changes the listing photograph. Occupied staging changes how the real home is prepared before buyers see it. When each approach fits.
Keep, remove, move, restyle: how a staging plan works with the furniture already in the home, and why the after images should keep the seller's own pieces recognizable.
