Suite Nothings: Staging your home for more space = qucker sale = more $$

If there's one thing in we don't have in The Big Apple, it's space. Ironically, that is one of buyers' top priorities when searching for their Manhattan home. Due to our finite space limitations on this island, we can't expand the garage to fit that SUV or add a sun room, and we certainly can't lie about the size of an apartment, but we can make the most of what we have.

That's where staging comes in. It's just amazing what staging can do to make a place feel bigger and brighter, and therefore more appealing to buyers. Just remember that the moment you decide to sell your home, it is no longer yours! Don't get attached to that paint color or that lamp, because it's not about your preferences anymore. Rather, it's about making the buyer feel confident, comfortable, and happy, so that he or she is willing to spend the big bucks on your home.
