Thinking of selling your home but it needs a little TLC? A huge benefit of working with Compass is their Concierge service. With Concierge, Compass covers upfront costs of home improvements, such as painting, landscaping, staging and so much more. Payment for these services is collected at the time of the property's closing. I've seen big transformations in homes that help them sell quickly and in some cases, over asking price.

6 Tricks Professional Stagers Use to ​Sell a House Faster

* Choose One Focal Point—and Edit Everything Else
One of the most common staging mistakes homeowners make is trying to show everything at once.

* Go Big with Rugs
Generally, the front legs of all major furniture pieces should sit on the rug.

* Use Mirrors for Beautiful Things
Strategically place a mirror to reflect a striking piece of artwork or light fixture.

* Layer in Texture
Rugs, pillows, throws, and tabletop décor help soften a room and add depth.

* Let Furniture Float
Allowing furniture to float, even just a few inches from the wall, creates breathing room.

* Light It Up
Layer statement lighting by mixing floor and table lamps, hiding cords, and placing them strategically.

Happy National Dog Day from DD! 🐾 I adopted her (and my previous pup, Samson) through a Angels with Tails adoption event a few years ago, so adoption will always be close to my heart. If you're ready for a new best friend, please consider adopting. 🐶❤️
