Kerry Barger’s Post

In real estate, there's a lot of talk about staging but what exactly is it? According to the real-estate agent-turned-staging pro we talked to for our latest 'Selling Your Home' story for The Wall Street Journal, it can be as small as decluttering and clearing off the kitchen counters, to adding a fresh coat of paint and rearranging the furniture. "You want a buyer to walk in and say, 'I can see myself living here.'"

I recently joined The Wall Street Journal's Your Money Briefing podcast to talk a little bit about today's market and what sellers can do to stand out. My first podcast experience was pretty fun!

My colleagues Marcy Ayres, Leah Latella and I have launched a new series at The Wall Street Journal on how homeowners can prepare their properties for the market. This series prioritizes the mobile experience, so be sure to check it out on your iPhone (or whatever you phone you use that's not an iPhone.) We'll be back *very soon* with the next installment!
