Real Estate
Staging...
Staging is the process of transforming a home into a product
that can be marketed for sale and appeal to the broadest range of buyers in the real estate market... nothing more, nothing
less. It is a valuable tool and the statisics show that in todays market and economy, staging your house would help
to sell it faster and for more money! The investment of staging in your property, is less than a price reduction
on your property.
I like to remind home
owners and agents who are hesitant to invest in staging that they might consider how staging a home for sale, is
like detailing a car. If you want to sell your car for top dollar you wouldn't think twice about giving it the
best 'detail' possible. Knowing that by doing so, the car will show better to any potential buyer and increase
your chances of selling it for more money. The same is with home staging. It's detailing your home to ensure that
you will get top dollar from a potential buyer.
Location
is important also and does affect the price of your property. However, home staging impacts price regardless of
location!

Get it Staged... Get it SOLD!
The way you live in your home and the way you sell
your house, are two different things. Staging is not decorating, therefore it has nothing to do with a sellers personal
taste. Decorating, personalizes a home. Staging to sell, is de-personalizing it. It is so
important for potential buyers to be able to visualize themselves living in the home, that you want to sell them.
The work of staging is done in steps.
At our first meeting, we will do a walk through of the property and assess whether or not I will be creating a bid,
'Proposal Report' or a consultation, 'Comprehensive Staging Report' for
either the client or the agent.
- Proposal Report, is the written service agreement that outlines
what staging work is to be
completed and how much it will cost
the homeowner or agent to have me do the work outlined therein. - Comprehensive Staging Report, is the
detailed report that will
guide the homeowner or agent through the necessary steps or
recommendations
to stage the property themselves.
Once
we have established our direction, then we will continue on our journey to finish each step until the staging is complete
and the property is ready to be listed.
