Services to Fit Every Need
It's crucial to make a great first impression on potential buyers as they form an opinion within the initial 15 seconds of entering your property. This brief window is your chance to make a lasting impact. In contrast, buyers typically spend only 6 minutes viewing an un-staged home. However, in a staged home, buyers tend to linger for an average of 40 minutes, envisioning themselves living in those spaces. Therefore, staging your property is an effective strategy to capture the attention and imagination of potential buyers.
At our company, we specialize in leveraging your existing home decor to create an irresistible space for potential buyers. By distinguishing your property from other competing homes on the market and establishing stronger emotional connections with buyers, our staging services can expedite the sale of your home while also maximizing its selling price.

Staging FAQ's
Although the professional staging industry is relatively new, the practice of improving homes before selling has been in existence for decades. In recent times, thanks to HGTV, home buyers have developed a strong preference for homes that are impeccably designed, and are willing to pay a premium for such properties.
If you could get 10% more on the sale of your home, how much would that be?
Home Staging is the preparation of a home to sell by a professional who specializes in this form of design and has been certified and trained on the art of home staging. Many definitions you have seen no doubt stop after the word “sell” and that is part of the big misconception and devaluation of home staging. A professional home stager has the resources and can objectively view the home as a product and highlight its assets while downplaying its flaws. The home seller cannot view their home objectively, while many successful Realtors do not have the time or trade resources to properly stage a home.
For as little as a few hundred dollars you can have a detailed list of what you can do to maximize the value of your home!
Home sellers are usually incapable of successfully staging their own home. Why? Because our homes are like our children, we don’t always see all of its flaws. We’ve gotten used to the way it looks and in fact it is difficult emotionally to change it. If you can’t view something objectively then you are unable to market and package it effectively. Not to mention most home sellers don't "stage" homes everyday for a living. That’s what HSR Certified professionals are for and that is where the greatest returns come in.
Even if your house sells quickly in a good market, it doesn’t mean it sold for the amount it would have sold for had it been professionally staged. Remember, HSR Certified professionally staged homes sell on a conservative average for10%+ more in a good market (see the Latest Home Staging Statistics).
Only a mere 10% of home buyers can actually visualize the potential of a home and most of these folks are "investors" or "flippers" who will hammer you on price. In our Consultation walk through, I will identify those "price eroding" factors of your home, so that you can do the simple fixes that maximize returns.
This is also why having a vacant home professionally staged is so important. Buyers cannot visualize size and scale so furniture helps to give them a frame of reference.
