One of my top services is the Home Staging (Occupied) Consultation, which offers sellers a fantastic return on investment with minimal upfront cost. I appreciate how dramatically it can benefit sellers, providing numerous advantages. As a home stager, I'm often concerned about whether homeowners will embrace my recommendations, especially when budgets are uncertain and changes may be required.
My aim is to support homeowners by helping them create striking marketing photos that not only help sell their homes quickly but also boost appraisal values. To explain why this matters, consider a high-fashion model: these models are usually tall and lean, so buyers concentrate entirely on the clothing rather than the model's features, ensuring the designer’s work stands out. Similarly, the advice given during a home staging consultation is meant to direct buyers' attention to a home's valuable fixed assets. Distracting items like a cat’s litter box or an exercise bike can shift focus away from what really sells the property.
To guide you through the process, you'll find a comprehensive home staging consultation checklist below. This resource allows you to prepare your home at your own pace and forms the foundation of successful staging. It’s highly beneficial to sellers, adds value for agents, increases listing prices, and enhances your home's appearance - even if you skip formal staging. Completing the checklist thoroughly will elevate future showings and missing this step could mean lost opportunities, so I encourage careful, diligent effort for the best results.
If you're interested in receiving custom recommendations for your property, along with visuals of how the most popular areas of a home are staged, I strongly recommend that you purchase our DIY Home Staging Service. We've included a project planner, moving checklist, how-to guides and opportunities to have a call with us to discuss any of your concerns. It's definitely worth the money because it will prevent you from continuing to pay those pesky carrying costs.
Happy Staging!
