About this listen
In this episode, Melissa dives deep into one of the most common topics sellers ask about: how to properly stage a home for the market - and what actually makes buyers stop scrolling, schedule a showing, and fall in love the moment they step inside.
From the importance of first impressions to the power of a clean scent when the door opens, Melissa breaks down the simple details that truly move the needle.
Melissa shares why staging isn’t about “sterilizing” a home or removing every trace of personality - it’s about creating a fresh, welcoming canvas that helps buyers imagine themselves living there.
She explains how stagers highlight a home’s best features with the right furniture scale, cohesive color palettes, strategic lighting, and thoughtful décor. And yes - she gives plenty of real-world examples, including the homes that sat…and the ones that sold immediately after staging.
Whether you're preparing to sell, debating DIY versus hiring a pro, or just want to understand how buyers think, this episode is packed with practical tips, myth-busting insights, and Melissa’s signature, down-to-earth guidance for getting the best results.
