“Dressing your house to sell will decrease
your days on the market and garner more full price
offers.”

If
you’ve ever sold a home, you know how great
it is to receive that first offer. You may also
know how disheartening it is if that offer is
disappointingly low, or doesn’t come in for
a lengthy period. Or maybe you’ve gone through
the frustration and work of many showings and
putting your life on hold without ever receiving
a single offer. It makes you worry and wonder
~ why?
It is at this point that many sellers feel the
only way to attract buyers is to lower their
asking price. This type of reduction often results
in a substantial drop that comes right out of
your pocket! What many people don’t realize
is that they have a good deal of control over
their selling process ~ even the ability to
price their house at the highest end of a realistic
price range.
The most crucial stage of selling your home
begins when the buyers arrive to view your property.
It is essential that buyers feel an emotional
sense of home in your house. Whether or not
a buyer experiences those feelings depends entirely
on how you prepare your house. When a buyer
feels, ‘this is it… this is the one….this could
be our home,” he moves to the next stage ~ MAKING
AN OFFER.

LOCATION A PROBLEM?
When location is a problem, it is more important
than ever to have your home stand out on its merits.
Less than great location can be a real detriment
and staging your home can help counteract this
challenge. Staging contributes greatly to helping
your home, no matter where it is located. When
location is a problem, STAGE!

Staging offers a variety of services so there
is always an option that is sure to meet your
needs. No home is too small to be beautiful or
too large to be warm and inviting. We welcome
the opportunity to use our expertise to provide
all clients with a customized service(s) based
on their needs and budget.
The staging consists
of two parts:
Staging Consultation
Sometimes, all that is needed is a thorough analysis of your property to get you moving. During a staging consultation, we will do a curb to curb inspection of your home and view it through ‘buyer’s eyes’. Then we will walk you through the home and point out every recommendation and explain WHY we’re making it. We’ll discuss problem areas and how to approach them. We tell you what buyers may be thinking! There are many things that can be done to improve the presentation of most homes, a lot of which goes undetected until pointed out. After our meeting, you will receive a full written report with all the suggestions, sources for home services and referrals for any repairs and/or improvements. Having this consult completed before you go on the market, will help you get your house looking its’ best for pictures and that first flurry of activity that occurs when a home is first listed. $100 hourly – most homes take about one hour.
The Staging
We return to transform your rooms using your existing
furnishings and accessories as well as bring in
additional decorative touches if necessary. The
result is a home that is show ready and will appeal
to the broadest base of homebuyers.
Our staging fees vary depending on the size of
the home and project. The walk through is used
to help us evaluate the size and scope of your
project. Based on our findings, you will receive
a written proposal/bid that will outline the scope
of the project, pricing options and estimated
time to complete the work. Most projects are completed
within a single day!
