An abundance of kitchen countertops is on the top of every buyer’s list, so make sure you have minimal items on them. One item or group of items per countertop section is ideal. And make sure you have barstools if your kitchen has space for them.

Should you stage in a hot market? If houses are selling in just a day or two, does it make sense to spend money and time preparing your home for sale? We are a staging company, so we are, of course, a firm believer that staging brings stronger, higher offers whether the market is hot or not. But we will let the pictures speak for us, with some typical things a buyer might say:
Before
“I like the house, but we would have to spend a lot of money to update the kitchen.”
After
“Oh, this house is going to sell fast, we need to make a good offer!”
Before
“This house is just not my style.”
After
“Look at how big and bright this living room is.”
Laminate kitchen cabinets with wood trim can feel very dated. You don’t need to replace all the cabinets to have a nice looking kitchen. Simply painting the wood portions of the cabinets and adding pulls can have a great impact!
