The goal of staging is to showcase the attributes of a home so that it will appeal to as many potential buyers as possible. But what happens if you cannot get them into the house?





The home's original paint scheme and lack of landscaping does not encourage buyers to stop and find a place to park. The house looks tired and dowdy.





Quite the transformation, right?

By cleaning up the yard and adding a well-coordinated paint scheme the house offers a fresh and very inviting street presence. Curb appeal is as important as interior staging.

Native plants and grasses are inexpensive, hearty and thrive with little care and are a better alternative to blooming plants that might not last for the typical 2-month marketing period. Home Depot is a great resource for plants and ground cover (bark chips are the way to go).

Now this home's outside matches the stylish, sophisticated inside:
