Vacant Kitchens Are Just Too Doggone Empty!

The problem with a vacant kitchen is that it's too doggone empty looking. What's more depressing than an empty frig and no food? Everybody likes to hang out in the kitchen, unless it's completely naked!

Who wants to linger when there's nothing but cold, empty appliances staring at you? What do you do in an empty space with a Realtor that you don't know well? Hmmm, stare at the walls for a few seconds, and move on to the next room. But we want buyers to linger in a home and fall in love with it.

Now staging a kitchen is not that expensive. Do NH home stagers do small jobs such as this? Oh yes, they do! Staging one room is feasible. And I'll give a secret...staging before your listing photos are snapped is essential! Don't do it after the house has been on the market for a year as a "last resort".

The most activity occurs on a house in the first 30 days, so stage BEFORE you list it.

Check out this kitchen before & after staging. It'll convince you that vacant kitchens are too doggone empty!!

Don't leave the knife out during showings, just for the photo. Be safe :)
