6 Staging Secrets That Cost Less Than Date Night

Tim Street Season 1 Episode 18

Most sellers think staging means spending thousands on paint, furniture, and upgrades — but that’s not what actually makes buyers fall in love. In this episode, Tim breaks down six simple psychology-based staging tricks that flip buyers from “just looking” to “I need this house,” using lighting, layout, scent, and a few shockingly cheap details.

You’ll learn:

  • The exact light bulbs that make homes feel warm, safe, and well cared for
  • How to rearrange furniture to make rooms feel larger without removing anything
  • The bathroom setup that signals luxury without renovations
  • Why strong smells hurt your sale — and how “no scent” sells better
  • The plant placement that makes homes feel alive and maintained
  • The $3 lemon-bowl trick that boosts mood and perceived value instantly
  • A bonus sensory detail buyers remember after they leave

If you want buyers emotionally attached before they ever talk price, this episode gives you the unfair advantage.
