Tips for Choosing the Right Home Stager

With home staging growing in popularity, it's becoming more difficult for homeowners and agents to know exactly what to look for.

The following are a few tips to help homeowners and agents alike in making the selection:

• Do they have a portfolio? An experienced home stager will have ample examples of the homes they've staged. Ensure you review the portfolio and pay particular attention to whether or not the right scale items are being used as well as the right amount of accessories.
• Do they have a web site? Let's face it, having a web site takes an investment on the business owner. A professional stager will not only have a web site, but... they'll have "before" and "after" pictures showcasing the homes they've staged.
• Experienced? Yes; it matters. An experienced home stager will be able to draw from the previous homes they've staged to know what works effectively and what should be avoided.
