May 2018 Staging Tip of the Month

Should you stage in a hot market?  If houses are selling in just a day or two, does it make sense to spend money and time preparing your home for sale?  We are a staging company, so we are, of course, a firm believer that staging brings stronger, higher offers whether the market is hot or not.  But we will let the pictures speak for us, with some typical things a buyer might say:

 

Kitchen A (800x600)Before
“I like the house, but we would have to spend a lot of money to update the kitchen.”

 

 

Kitchen B (665x441)

 

After
“Oh, this house is going to sell fast, we need to make a good offer!”

 

 

 

 

Living A (800x600)

Before
“This house is just not my style.”

 

 

 

 

Living B (665x441)

After
“Look at how big and bright this living room is.”

 

January 2017 Featured Before & After

This before and after is from the entry way you can see in the last post.  Storage was a problem, so we added shoe racks on the left for more functionality.  White trim, neutral walls and a pop of color in the door and accessories make this entry way so much more attractive!  And if you remember the staging tip from last month, these are the ceramic floors that got a new grout color.

January 2017 Staging Tip of the Month

Sometimes we think of things as one way only.  For example, wrought iron handrails are black, right?  Wrong!  Paint them a contemporary color to give them a whole new look!
