Staging & Selling: What Works in Bergen County NJ Homes
Great staging makes buyers fall in love — often before they even step inside. In Bergen County’s competitive market, staging isn’t a luxury; it’s a necessity.
1. Declutter & Depersonalize
Buyers need to picture themselves in the home. Clear surfaces, minimize personal photos, and create calm, neutral spaces.
2. Focus on Curb Appeal
Your exterior sets the tone. Fresh mulch, trimmed shrubs, and a new welcome mat work wonders for first impressions.
3. Highlight Light & Space
Open blinds, replace dim bulbs, and use mirrors to brighten rooms. Light sells!
4. Style by Town Personality
Each town has a feel — for example, Old Tappan loves elegant modern touches, while Westwood favors cozy and walkable charm. Staging should reflect the lifestyle your buyers crave.
5. Add Final Flourishes
Fresh flowers, neutral throws, and scented candles make a house feel like home — instantly.
