My home just listed a week ago. I staged everything myself. Luckily, my decor was mostly neutral with lots of white except for my daughter's room and the game room since it became her playroom. I hope no one has a problem with the way I did it. My realtor didn't say anything needed to be changed. Thank you for the staging tips.

Awesome information using wisdom, and ALWAYS A BENEFIT! I decided to sell my home furnished and turnkey, so I wanted to leave everything that was being left behind. I went to view a home that was furnished, and the cool part is that I loved the seller's taste, everything was in super great condition, and I moved out of state, so it was great for me....except that every time I asked, "Is this staying, or that staying?", the seller kept saying "Well, no, I'll be taking that with me...and I realized that in the end, there wasn't much being left! So, I decided, I wouldn't do that to anyone. What you see is what you get. However, if I wasn't going to sell furnished I would do the "AUDRA TOUCH!"... We love your ideas, and cherish you..take good care of yourself.

Very true very few sellers have an eye for design so this video should really help them. I laughed at the art wall bc it's so true when we look at homes for sale many have disastrous design sense and hang high, or use really small art on a mega wall or both...

Love all the hints and advice you give out. What are your thoughts on security screen doors? I absolutely hate them, so ugly and I feel make not only the property look bad, but the neighborhood look scary.

@AudraLambert 9 месяцев назад

Not a big proponent of security screen doors. It kinda begs the question: Is this a safe neighborhood? I would prefer a security system with the sensors on the windows and doors if you're concerned about your safety (for looks anyway). I am not a security expert but the system we have in our house is not terribly expensive and serves the same purpose. Hope this helps.

@tutubedo 11 месяцев назад

TY Andra for this enlightening information. What is your take on selling a small 525 square feet house - squeaky clean, freshly painted (very neutral white) - with nothing in it ? Is staging essential 🤔?

@AudraLambert 10 месяцев назад

Hello there! I don't know where you. live...but I would look around and see what other sellers are doing with their properties. The market is a bit sluggish right now (not as many buyers out there). I am always a fan of staging because it shows the house in its best light. If there are other 525 sq. ft homes selling quickly in the area with no staging, then perhaps don't make the investment. However, if homes are sitting on the market and not moving rapidly, you may consider staging. I would do the research in your market...really drill down.

@karilindsey3816 10 месяцев назад

Wow! Terrific video! Thank you for sharing! I usually enjoy reading the other viewers comments. But some of the ones on here were, well...I guess I'd say that they weren't paying attention. They're upset and offended because you said take down your flags. You told us why and quite honestly it's common sense! It doesn't make them any less American to take down the flag and I can honestly say that I have yet to someone who says, " I bought my house solely because they had the flag flying in the front yard!" Anyway, I really did enjoy your video and the information you provided.

@mousenation3867 4 месяца назад

When they view the garage they’ll see the chair and boxes of excess stuff ?

@AudraLambert 4 месяца назад

Yes, but at least its not in the house cluttering the living areas. There is a little less expectation of having a perfectly organized garage. Buyers know you will be in the process of moving. Having a garage with a few items for storage is okay in my book.

@tanyaperrin8844 5 месяцев назад

Have to agree. How to sell a house is NOT how you live in the house! I have toured many properties where I've thought OMG, how can these people show a house that looks like this? Undoubtedly, they loved it, but it was appalling to me!

@AudraLambert 5 месяцев назад

I know, I see the same thing on a regular basis. Every one lives differently....but I highly recommend decluttering and cleaning any property before putting it on MLS. Thanks for your comment.

@haleyelizabeth8378 Год назад

We're currently trying to decide whether to sell or lease our house. Problem is, we've already started about a thousand projects that still need finished, so it's really discouraging because uh...we'd like to move yesterday. Also it's so big, we haven't even finished furnishing/decorating it in the many years we've owned it. What would you do with an 18-20 ft high living room wall (among a few other random areas) that's bare as can be? It's the only wall to put the tv on, so the tv looks ridiculous. As an artist, it makes me completely insane to look at because I just have no idea what to do with it. I dont even think we can paint it without scaffolding.

@AudraLambert Год назад

Hello Haley, well I haven't seen your property... However, I would rather have a bare wall than an over cluttered wall. Leasing a property doesn't require the same time and attention for staging as a home that is being prepared for sale. I am not sure who your photographer is, but if you have a photographer that can virtually stage your wall art and some other areas of your house, it may be a good compromise...you'll like the images better and you're not spending a lot on furniture and other decor items.

@HomeFromFarAway 9 месяцев назад

You could always use a projector instead of a TV. A huge white wall would make for an epic movie night!

Audra's new book: "50 Shades of Beige, or How to Stage Your Home to Sell." :) Also, "Throw Pillows are named that, because you have to figure out where to throw them when you want to use the furniture!"

@AudraLambert 6 месяцев назад

Laughing..."50 shades of beige". You're probably right. However, if you saw my home ,I don't have a lot of beige in it. For selling a home I do recommend neutral colors just because it appeals to more people. I am little/small...so I usually put a "throw Pillow" behind my back for support. I do hear ya on ineffectiveness of the throw pillow. Have a good one.

@susananders3834 6 месяцев назад

Actually, my favorite color is really beige. It is so calm and undemanding. It took me a moment to realize you were joking. Sigh. 😂

@AudraLambert 6 месяцев назад

@@susananders3834 Oh no...I love beige...but like anything, if you do too much it can be overboard. I was laughing about the 50 shades of beige. Some of my favorite designer homes have all neutral colors in them. It truly is a calm, serene, feeling and definitely looks sophisticated. Most of the major items in my house are neutral...but I do like a little personality here and there. I usually keep everything neutral but add accessories that can give a little more personality (with some color sometimes). I still am a Neutral Lover! Happy New Year!!

@anitakimberlin283 5 месяцев назад

Who pays for staging?

@AudraLambert 5 месяцев назад

I pay for staging on all my properties up to a certain dollar amount. Really depends on the scope of the project and the price of the home. Most agents don't cover staging but I would ask them anyway. Some agent offer to pay staging costs through escrow...meaning you pay for the staging and then the agent will pay you through escrow once the property closes. You could always propose that. Some agents won't pay for it at all. Always good to interview several agents...asking if they'd stage your property as part of their commission fee. They may squirm...but who cares. This is a business after all.

@HomeFromFarAway 9 месяцев назад

I really enjoyed this. Pragmatic advice to actually get the job done. Not sure what all the flag cultists are upset about, most of the world thinks loud nationalism is creepy and kinda lowbrow. random flags are definitely not something that will appeal to sane people who just want to look at a house

@AudraLambert 9 месяцев назад

Thanks Kim...As you know, I am just trying to be helpful. Had no idea the taking the flags down recommendation would warrant such an outcry. Oh well, I think what nerve I am striking is people think I am asking them to turn on their country by taking their American flags down. This is not what I am suggesting. Put your flags up after the photo shoot for all I care. Its just a tip to help make your house shine in its best light. Take it or leave it:). By the way, I have an American Flag flying outside my house. Just saying.

@nutritioncoachjo 4 месяца назад

@@AudraLambert It's just staging tips! This is not to make a statement on flag clutists. Good grief! I agree with your tip to take down any flag and will share it with my former Marine husband who proudly has his Marine and U.S. flag in front of the house. They will definitely come down for staging and when we move, they will proudly be back up again. They are right in front of our front window and it's just not a great look for "staging purposes" or for photos. I actually would have never thought of taking them down until you mentioned it so thank you! BTW... love your tips! I am staging my own home for sale and these tips really do make it possible to do myself. My place does look barren so I know I am on the right track. LOL

Its very hard to photograph. You want your house to stay as neutral as possible on line. If you want to put it back up...great.
