What are the Benefits of Home Staging?
To do home staging correctly requires a very detailed, creative eye and a clear understanding how everything works together. Here are the TOP 3 MOST COMMON BENEFITS OF HOME STAGING:

1. The most obvious benefit of home staging, if done right, is it will create a sense of urgency to buy your home before another buyer makes an offer. This results in a faster sale for you. In fact, staged homes spend 90% less time on the market. SEE STATS BELOW. Buyers don't buy rationally, THEY BUY EMOTIONALLY and LOVE staged homes!

2. If done right, home staging will increase the value of your home in buyers' eyes on average 25% more than others, which means your home will sell for top dollar. SEE STATS BELOW.

3. Home staging creates an appeal that helps 86% of buyers visualize their things in your home, it gives them ideas on what to do with the home, and it can entice the buyer to want to buy your home. SEE STATS BELOW.


What is the Process of Home Staging?
Although we stage both occupied and vacant homes, our focus is on homeowners who currently live in their home or what we call 'Selling While Dwelling'. In either scenario, we have a plan of action to get your home sold--as quickly as possible--and for as much money as possible. HERE IS HOW IT WORKS:

When working with occupied homes, we use what is already there. We curate a home for the ideal buyer demographic by carefully selecting, organizing, and presenting items that gives the home personality where buyers leave the home with a good memory or experience which causes them to contemplate making an offer. OUR PROVEN 3-STEP PROCESS below increases perceived value of your home and gains immediate attention on the real estate market:

Home Staging Starts with a Consultation

With similar in-demand HGTV shows, there is more pressure than ever before for homeowners to have a property looking its best. It all starts with an evaluation. Home staging typically starts with a paid home staging consultation in the client’s home. The stager completes an assessment of the current state of the home--and entire property line--and what is needed to increase the home's appeal. There are some improvements a home stager can make on the spot. For most homeowners, some of the home’s transformation will take place during this initial home staging consultation. NOTE: WE ALSO OFFER REMOTE SERVICES in order to meet the preferences of all sellers. Visit our E-Home Staging Consultation section on the Remote E-Design Style Boards page for more information.

​Curated Shopping List and To-Do List

​A 'To-Do List' is provided with items--listed in order of priority of importance--of what will most sell the home. Our belief system has always been to have the homeowner spend as little money as possible by using what you currently have in your home. However, at times A LITTLE 'OOMPH' MAY BE NEEDED to supplement with purchased accessories or other essentials to make each room worthy of meeting today's picky buyers' standards. Since many homebuyers don't have an eye for--or understanding of--their style, we aid in this process by offering the seller a curated shopping list.

​A Makeover Day Designed to Sell

DEPERSONALIZE is the key word, but there is a process and most sellers do not approach is correctly. Imagine you've owned your home for many years, but it's now time to sell. Sellers' biggest mistake is they make the selling process all about them. WRONG! It's about the buyer and what they want and what they perceive to be of value.

 

EFFECTIVE DEPERSONALIZATION IS AN ART. Too much and the home looks boring and bland. Too little and potential buyers have distracting thoughts of the people who already live there. When it comes to selling a home for top dollar, every detail counts, from cleanliness to repair, as well as furniture placement, lighting, color, art, and accessories. We also stage and redesign bookcases. For a sample of one of our bookcase redesigns, click here.

If we provided you with a staging shopping list, we will bring those supplemental pieces into the mix on makeover day to create an appealing stylish touch. You may just fall in love with your home all over again!
