Keep in mind that potential buyers will most likely be looking carefully at the kitchen, family room and formal living room because these rooms generally get the most use. Using this fact, stage the home appropriately. Family rooms and living rooms can be both a family space and an entertaining space. Paint the rooms in sophisticated neutral colors. Remove all personal photos and knick knacks. Draw potential buyers’ attention to the fireplace, if the room has one by adding a piece of art to the mantel or creating a seating area in front of it. The goal is to make it easy for potential buyers to picture themselves in this space.
