🐾 Five Staging Tips That Sell Homes Faster — From Your Favorite Real Estate Pup, Albus

Hey there, humans. It’s me, Albus — Asheville Realty Group’s unofficial mascot, head of treats, and expert in cozy vibes. I’ve sniffed out more open houses than most agents have hosted, and I’m here to share a few tail-wagging truths about how to stage your home so it sells faster than I can spot a squirrel.

Let’s get into it. Here are my five favorite staging tips (paw-picked for maximum buyer swooning):

1. Declutter Like You’re Hiding the Good Treats

Buyers want to imagine themselves living in your space, not staring at your collection of gnome salt shakers or that oddly personal bathroom poem. Clear off counters, minimize decor, and for the love of peanut butter, put away anything that barks “I live here!”

Bonus points if you hide the pet stuff. Yes, I said it. Even I know a giant bin of chew toys doesn’t exactly scream “luxury lifestyle.”

2. Let There Be Light (and Maybe a Scented Candle That Doesn’t Smell Like Bacon)

Natural light is a home’s best friend—second only to a loyal dog, of course. Open those curtains, clean the windows, and add warm lighting where needed. If you want to use a candle, go for something subtle and spa-like. Trust me, not everyone loves the eau de dog bed.

3. Stage for the Life Buyers Want

A cozy reading nook? A charming breakfast table? A spotless, serene bedroom? Yes, yes, and yes. Arrange furniture to create clear, inviting spaces that show off how the home could feel. You’re not just selling square footage — you’re selling the dream. (And dreams don’t include laundry piles.)

4. Go Green, Not Jungle

Plants breathe life into a home (unlike that faux orchid collecting dust since 2009). Add a few real, low-maintenance green friends to your space—think fiddle leaf fig, snake plant, or a fern that behaves. A pop of greenery adds freshness and charm without looking like a rainforest.

5. Channel Your Inner Minimalist (Even If You’re More Maximalist on the Inside)

Keep it simple, chic, and stylish. That doesn’t mean boring — it means intentional. Clean lines, cohesive color schemes, and a “less is more” approach help buyers focus on the bones of the home. And if you’re feeling stuck? Asheville Realty Group has staging pros (with actual thumbs) ready to help.

Final Bark:
Staging isn’t about covering up flaws — it’s about showing off your home’s best features. Just like I do with my floofy ears and winning personality. Follow these tips, and your home will be fetching offers in no time.
