I Want Out!

As a Seller, trying to sell your home can often become rather frustrating & down right depressing! Many of you are ready to move on from your current residence and make new memories in a new one, but are stuck. Maybe I can help! I have my Bachelor's degree in Interior Design & know a thing or two about home staging!

Follow my simple steps to home staging & watch your home activity rise!

The key to staging is SIMPLICITY! You want prospective buyers to picture themselves living in "your" home & this is how you'll achieve that:

1. Neutralize your home. Keep colors soft & neutral. Do not give the buyer a chance to say a bad thing about the color of your room. Just because you enjoy that color does not mean somebody else will. Many buyers turn and run when they have to think about putting work into a home. And we all know it's a Buyer's Market out there, they have many homes to choose from - Make them choose yours!

2. Simplify & De-clutter: As well as you may love the portraits of your families, your children, and your pets - Remove them. These post as a distraction for your buyer. Keep them "picturing themselves" in your home. Clean off Kitchen counters by removing rarely used appliances and miscellaneous items that can be placed elsewhere. Take as many odds and ends out of rooms & pack them away in boxes. Keep it looking Clean.

3. Clean: No one likes a dirty home. Keep it clean. A clean home will sell itself.
