The housing market is often as volatile as the stock market, and for most people, our homes are the most significant investment we'll ever make. When the time comes to move on from our homes, we all want to get top dollar as the money we make on the sale of our homes often lays the groundwork for the next phase of our lives. I know this all too well, having bought and sold three homes over four years. Sound exhausting? It is!
Over those four years, my husband and I toured more than 75 homes; yes, I kept track. We've seen really good, really bad, and really... interesting. I've seen the power of staging firsthand countless times. Staging is not decorating. There is a difference between creating a happy home and listing a house that will appeal to the masses. Sure, you could spend a fortune; hire a staging company to move all of your belongings out entirely and bring a whole new set of furnishings in. I believe this is unrealistic, overly expensive, and usually entirely unnecessary. Most of us still have to live in our homes while they're on the market and don't have the luxury of cutting into our profit margins with such expenses.
I may not be able to help keep your kitchen clean between showings, but I can help you get your home ready to sell.
Consultations are available at $35/hour. Staging services start at $45/hour, dependent upon services requested.
