One Day Staging is known by many names.  Some of the most popular are real estate staging, prepping, detailing, fluffing, and
neutralizing.  It began on the West Coast during a soft market to help to
make homes more competitive when placed on the market.  In time, many people began to see the merits.  We liken it to going on a blind date.  Would you go on a blind date with curlers in your hair, body odor, and dirty clothes?  Well that is how many people show their home.  A potential buyer is trying to find every possible way to save money so they are looking for the flaws in a home...One Day Staging helps the seller to identify the problem areas.  You never get a second chance to make a good first impression.

One Day Staging benefits both the seller of the home and buyer.  The seller gets to achieve the maximum profit on the sale of their home and the seller has the benefit of a home that is fresh, clean, and well-maintained.  This way they can get right down to business transforming the house they just purchased into the home they want to live in. 

A One Day Stager begins with a comprehensive analysis of your property. We walk through the property with the homeowner and often times, the Realtor, assessing the weaknesses of the home.  Beginning with curb appeal and moving into the closets, we will explore and poke through the whole home to present you, the seller, a plan of attack.  So often, when people talk about preparing a home for sale, they think it is simply to empty countertops and paint the walls white.  It is so much more than that.  Understanding the psychology of your potential buyer is the key to a quick and successful sale.  Is your target market a young family or empty nesters?  The things we address in your home will change based on your target market.


Here are five things you can do to help your home to show and sell better!

• Analyze the front door.  Does it look dated or out of style? Consider replacing it or at least painting it in a bold eye-catching color.
   
• Give your home the sniff test.  Do you smoke or have pets?  If so,
  then you are probably not aware of the odors in your home.  A One Day Stager will help you to identify and resolve odor issues. 
   
• Check out the carpets!  This is often times the deal breaker in a
  home.  If the carpet is really showing it's age, then consider biting the bullet and replacing it.  It will be a wise investment.  If you do this before the home is shown, then you can often times increase the selling price of your home to off-set the expense.
   
• Clean out the closets.  In our day to day living, we can hide all kind of things there and no one will see it.  But no place is off-limits when your home is on the market.  If the closet is overflowing, the message it will send is that there is not enough storage space in the home.
   
•  Make sure there is something in your home to make it memorable.
  The average buyer looks at 15.2 homes when shopping.  Make sure to have some memorable touch in yours to make it stand out.  Maybe a dining room painted red or a series of black and white child stars hung on a wall.
