Home Staging

Prepping a home for sale?
Staged homes sell three to 30 times faster than the nonstaged competition, according to a survey conducted by The International Association of Home Staging Professionals.
According to the National Association of Realtors research, Eighty-two percent of buyers' agents said a staged home makes it easier for the buyer to visualize the property as a future home.
When selling a home, the first step in prepping is curb appeal. We can work with landscapers to spruce up the yard. Then, we work our way inside to ensure that each room is show ready and captures potential buyers' eyes when looking at photos.
We can help set the stage by advising on colors, style, texture, and more.
We will shop and arrange each room to attract potential buyers to see your home.
