When you decide to place your home on the market contact a professional real estate stager. If you contact your Realtor first, ask them "who is your staging consultant". Most Realtors have a stager on their team to help you with the details of preparing your home for the market.
You can find a stager in your area by logging on to
Real Estate Staging Association, put in your zip code. These stagers are accredited, educated, professional, and keep their education current.
