Staging Your Home - The "Designed to Sell" Staging Program

Staging is a manner of presenting a home for sale so that it will appeal to the broadest buying audience “setting the stage” so that when the ready, willing & able buyer walks through the door they are hooked!  This process works regardless of price, condition or location of a home. Most buyers will develop an opinion about a house within the first 60 seconds….that really does not give you a lot of time to get your message across quickly.

Differences in Decorating & Staging 

Decorating and Staging are at odds and at different parts of the spectrum.  Decorating is personal, reflecting your own style and taste. Decorating is functional and practical for your family's everyday living.  Staging is impersonal, objective requiring a trained eye to help the seller see past the memories and refresh the home so a potential buyer doesn't feel like a guest, rather they imagine themselves living in the home.
