Partial Staging

 
I've worked with a few Clients lately that have asked about "partial" staging.  Of course, I like to stage an entire home for the best feel and quickest sale, but some people would rather stage on a smaller scale…..and that's okay.  Sometimes, the house just needs to be decluttered and new accessories added…which really is a partial stage. 

Other times, the house is empty and the Owner doesn't want to invest as much in the preparation of the home.  With an empty house, I always stage the main living area, including the kitchen.  When someone walks in, that first impression is critical.  A potential Buyer should say "Wow".  Then, I stage the Master Bedroom.  Other bedrooms can be left empty…..not optimal, but okay.  If there is a family room, it's important to stage that, since it's typically the area where you "live".
