In terms of furniture, what are the best items to highlight and how should placement in a home look?

You want to minimize the furniture so the buyer can focus on the floor plan and the architectural elements of the property. Furniture should be placed in a home for how the room will be used and lived in. Often, we move into a home and change rooms to suit our lifestyle. It is important to place appropriate furniture in rooms as to how it was intended. An exception to that idea is if there isn’t a study in a home. If there are enough bedrooms, it can make sense to place study furniture in one of the bedrooms.

What should be done to the entrance of a home to give potential buyers a good first impression?

The front of the home is the buyer’s first impression. This includes the outside, front door and entry/foyer. The front door may need a fresh coat of paint and the hardware replaced. A fresh pot of flowers outside the front door is always welcoming.
