Home Staging–It’s an Art

Home Staging- It’s an Art

You have already de-cluttered and done needed home improvements.  Think you are ready to sell? Think again.  You need to stage your home.

As a professional Interior Designer in Bergen County, NJ, I bring fresh eyes that see the strengths and the flaws that may be invisible to you as the emotionally invested homeowner.  When done properly, your home photographs better, usually sells faster, at a higher price and gives you a larger return on your investment.

Why?

Buyers start their search on the internet. Tiny thumbnails of your home look much the same as others.  Your goal is to be outstanding and make your photos stand out in the crowd.

Buyers may be turned off by homeowners own furnishings. Today it is about presenting a lifestyle to the buyer so they can see themselves living there.

Bright and fresh sells. Up-to-the-minute décor sells.  Flair and fun sells.

A staged home allows the proportions of the space to show.  It should not look contrived though.  No trays on the end of the bed…nobody lives like that!

People who are buying want to do as little as possible to your house. They don’t want to see a tired looking home.  That translates into “too much work to do here”.

Stop thinking about what you like or want in a home and start to think like your buyer.

We want them to feel like they could just bring in their bags and move right in!
