Greetings Home Owners!
A lot
of thought goes into preparing a home for sale. It seems that
most decisions are based on how much investment you are willing to make before
the house goes on the market and what the return on that investment likely to
be.
So,
it may come as a surprise that little changes can make a big difference
in attracting the right buyers. The
interior and exterior of a house tell a story of how well the house has been
kept, loved and appreciated. This story, when told right makes buyers
feel good about buying your home. Together, we can make your
house look and feel like a home that is really attractive to buyers.
Benefits of Staging a Home
for Sale:
1. Faster
Sales: Staged homes sell 50% faster than non-staged homes - Trulia
2. Higher
Selling Price: A staged home sells for 17% more on average than a
non-staged home - Trulia
3. Home
inspectors view staged homes as well cared for.
4. Staged
homes often get better appraisal values.
5. Staged homes look much more attractive online and
in marketing materials. Even better, a house that is
staged draws buyers in and enables them to visualize your home as their new
home. It’s a powerful effect.
6. Nearly 90%
of home buyers start their search on the Internet. Therefore, staging is
a good way to make sure online photos pop.
7.
Staging a home ultimately benefits the seller
in so many ways.

Here’ s How We Work: Three Steps to Success
1)
Consultation: I’ll
come to your home to take a good look around, then discuss a simple and
practical top-to-bottom interior design. After that we’ll create a plan
together and I will be happy to help you throughout the process.
2)
Recommendations: Cleaning,
Decluttering and Organizing. I’ll provide specific recommendations on
decluttering and organizing your home and provide guidelines on how to do
it. I always urge my clients to do three things: clean, declutter and
organize.
· Why clean? Cleaning
a space is the first step toward transforming it. I can recommend several area
cleaning services in case you need help.
· Why declutter? Clutter
in homes is distracting and emanates stagnant energy. I’ll provide tips on
how to tackle this task quickly and effectively.
· Why
organize? An organized home is attractive and welcoming. It’s that
simple!
3. 3) Interior Design with a focus on Feng Shui principles (the
art of promoting positive energy, hence harmony in your home). This
is the final step in transforming your home environment and promoting good
energy throughout the house. I’ll help you to apply practical interior design
enhancements for each room using your existing furniture pieces, flowers and
plants in a way that complements that environment. After we’re done, you’ll
feel the positive energy throughout the home. And it will attract
buyers who just feel good while walking in and around your home. My
expert understanding of Feng Shui principles is something that sets my services
apart and will bring you tremendous value.
