Even the most design savvy of us could benefit from a fresh set of eyes when it comes time to sell. A home stager is able to provide this, and so much more. While your home may appear Pinterest-perfect to you, it may just need a few tweaks or edits in order to appeal to the broader, home buying market.

There are unique challenges to tackle whether your home is vacant or occupied. Vacant homes present as cold, as it is often difficult for buyers to envision their belongings in an empty house. Staging a few key rooms, or the entire home allows the buyer to see furnishings in true scale in the environment. On the other hand, an occupied home presents the challenge of being kept orderly for showings that can happen with a moment’s notice. While this isn’t easy, we are experts at what I like to call “Stage & Stash”, easily accessible, yet concealed storage, for those impromptu showings.

A well staged home tends to spend less time on the market and can increase the dollar value of the home between 6-10%, according to NARS (National Association of Realtors.)  What’s more, 22% of sellers’ agents reported an increase of 1-5% of the dollar value offered by buyers, compared to similar homes that were not staged. That's a significant return on investment! 

Staging consultations include walking through the home (either in person or virtually) with the critical eye of a potential home buyer. We take measurements, make some suggestions on design, furniture location, and decorating modifications, that will highlight the best features of each space.  At the end of your paid consultation, you can then decide to do the work yourself or enlist our expert designers to complete the staging plan.  

Home already on the market? Don't worry, it’s not too late to stage! I always advise sellers and realtors to consider the low cost of staging over the high cost of a price reduction.  Contact us today to see if you could benefit from our expert advice!
