What is Staging? When you get ready to place your home for sale on the market it becomes a product. Similar to a product on the shelf at your local store, your product has features and benefits. To compete in the marketplace you must be priced right and look better than any of the other products. Your home is one of many homes for sale and you must present it to potential buyers in the best possible light. Staging is the process of preparing any home for sale, regardless of price or location. Using a proven, professional set of guidelines your house is reviewed for compliance with preset standards, and any necessary modifications are made. Your home is then open to a special marketing program developed to promote those homes that have been designated as Staged Homes. View some of our home staging and redesign pictures. This unique system has proven to help sell homes faster and for more money. Real estate agents will have great confidence in showing your home to potential buyers because they know it is a Professionally Staged Home and ready to be sold.

Why Stage?

As a homeowner preparing to put your home on the market have you ever found yourself thinking...

• The house will sell, we don't need to do anything to it.
• I don't want to spend any more money on this house, it looks fine.
• The way I live in the house is perfectly fine for putting it on the market.
• I'll move out, the house will show better empty.
• If it doesn't sell, THEN I'll consider staging it.

These misconceptions can cost you time and money. These days other houses on the market competing for that buyer are utilizing home staging and will show and sell more quickly. Few buyers are willing to buy a house that looks tired, overwhelming, impersonal, or cluttered. Buyers are looking for a house that they can identify with, afford, and offers something more than expected.

First impressions are so very important! When a staged home appears on the market, it stands out so that most buyers will want to move quickly.

Staging does not have to be costly or stressful. We can do as much or as little as you would like. By reworking your home's furnishings to create space, warmth, and function; and by highlighting your home's positive features we can prepare your home for a successful sale. The way you live and the way you show a house are two very different things.
