As a fellow stager, the only thing I can think of that is different than all of the obvious, is to make sure you are "creating" emotional connections. Staging is about more than making the place "look" neat, clean and upgraded (although all of those things are necessary!). It's also about helping the buyer SEE themselves living in that place, about making something SO very memorable that they cannot forget that home! Speak to the hearts of the people walking through the home. Think about your buyer, the community, who will be living there and create emotional ties to the home. examples:
Older community - create a "game room" in the sun room, or a golf themed "retiree" office.
Family community - create happy children rooms, girl, boy, with small toys in the corner, and a few generic family pictures. Or turn a room into a den, or a movie room, complete with faux popcorn!
In other words, set a stage so that their mind begins to wander.. you want them envisioning themselves in a scene in that home! Once you do that, they are HOOKED! :D
