There’s a reason that Lafayette Realtor Dana Green stages all her listings at no cost to the seller, including offering free use of her extensive staging inventory.

“Staging your home is a strategic process that is proven to add curb appeal, increase your home’s sales price and decrease the number of days your home is on the market,” says Green “It’s a win-win situation for both seller and Realtor.”

Pillows: Invest in a Fresh Look

No doubt, staging makes a new home more appealing. But that doesn’t mean you have to totally redecorate. For example, there’s no need to buy a new couch when fun and colorful pillows can enhance the decorative qualities of your living and family rooms. Just choose colors that pop but still go with the overall theme of your home, like the pillows used in the living room at 3591 Powell Drive, a home currently on the market in Lafayette, CA.
