The Power of Home Staging

Home staging is a transformative factor that can significantly impact your home selling journey. Here’s how it can make or break your success:

Home Staging: Making or Breaking Your Home Sale

The Make: Home staging involves creating an appealing and inviting environment that showcases your property’s full potential. It includes decluttering, rearranging furniture, optimizing lighting, and enhancing the overall ambiance. A well-staged home not only attracts buyers’ attention but also helps them envision themselves living in the space. This emotional connection can lead to a quicker sale at a potentially higher price point.
The Break: Neglecting home staging or failing to do it effectively can hinder your home selling journey. A cluttered, disorganized, or poorly presented home can discourage potential buyers. They may struggle to see the property’s true potential and move on to more appealing options.

Consult with Us for Expert Guidance

Navigating the complexities of the real estate market can be daunting, especially in a competitive environment. If you’re eager to enhance your home selling strategy and leverage the power of effective home staging, we’re here to assist. Our experienced team offers personalized consultations and tailored strategies designed to maximize your selling potential.

Why Does Home Staging Work?

April 22, 2020April 20, 20201 Comment

If you’re like us, then you’re probably ready for things to go back to normal, whatever ‘normal’ looks like! We are hoping to be up and running all of our home staging services as soon as possible, and in the meantime we wanted to help you understand our WHY… Why do we do what we do, and what are the benefits of home staging? Let me first establish our why…

We exist to make a difference in people’s lives by preparing and expertly staging homes to help them sell quickly and for top dollar!

Did you know that 95% of buyers shop online first. That means that they search the various home sites and decide from those pictures which homes they will go see in person. So how do you make your home standout above the rest? Most people cannot visualize themselves living in an empty space and even have trouble getting past your things knowing that you will take them with you. Our team is professionally trained in home staging and participates in continuing education to keep up with design and market trends. We specialize in walk and talk consultations, occupied home staging as well as vacant home staging. Our job is to either use existing furnishings and decor or bring in our inventory to emotionally connect with the buyer to want your house.

Let’s talk about Walk and Talk Consultations…

If you plan to live in your home while it’s listed and you need our team to get your house ready for your photographs, this service is for you. Based on your square footage and list price we will walk you through your home, room by room, and make suggestions on furniture/decor placement, artwork choices, and what should be packed up ahead of time.

Currently our Walk & Talk Consultations are done exclusively online via Zoom, for safety and convenience! Once we complete your appointment you will receive a comprehensive action plan on our to get your home prepared and staged prior to going on the market!

How about Occupied Home Staging…

If you plan to live in your home and would like hands on expertise then this service is for you. We will customize your package based on your home needs and stagers will spend a block of time staging the essential rooms in your home before it’s listed. We will use your furniture and decor and/or make suggestions of a shopping list to have for our team when we arrive. Then you sit back and relax while we take care of the rest. 75% of the occupied homes we stage receive an offer within the first 25 days on the market!

And then there’s Vacant Home Staging…

If you plan to move out and leave your home vacant then this service is the one for you. We will choose beautiful furniture, rugs, pillows, decor/accessories from our warehouse and stage each room, based on the package you choose. We will use expert staging techniques to entice buyers and create that WOW factor. Our packages include professionally selected inventory, delivery and set up, professional photography, up to 2 refreshes during service period, destaging and pick-up. 90% of the vacant homes we stage receive an offer within the first 19 days on the market!

Trends for Home Buyers

April 21, 2020April 20, 2020Leave a comment

According to Better Homes and Gardens there are 5 trends for first time and repeat buyers. Learning about these trends can help with buying and selling your home. Let’s take a look…

TREND #1…

Millennials are looking for their dream home. This means that they are looking to buy a home that they can stay in for more than 10 years. So much for that starter home…they are looking for more square footage, upgrades and good school districts.

TREND #2…

The home buying process can take longer than it used to. First time home buyers average about 5 months whereas repeat buyers are averaging 4 months from start to close. There are two possible reasons for this that can include the multitude of online search sites as well as the loan process. Searching these home sites can make the house hunting process sometimes take longer since there are so many options. Also, it is advised to get pre-approved prior starting the the search to help with shortening the loan process. Some home buyers are selling their home first and then renting so that they can snatch up the home they want when it is listed.

TREND #3…

Buyers want a move-in ready home. Fixer-uppers are not as desired as they used to be. Purchasing a newly built home or one with no renovations seems to be more appealing. It comes down to time and money for home buyers. Cosmetic upgrades are obviously not as deterring as structural changes or replacing AC units. Not knowing the resale value to certain renovations can also be a factor.

TREND #4…

Kitchens still sell houses! If you are going to upgrade, the kitchen is the place to do it. An updated kitchen can certainly influence a buyer to purchase a home. Open floor plans, islands with seating, and double ovens are also on the desired list. Most buyers desire an updated kitchen over a theatre room or even having a pool.

TREND #5

Millenials want a good investment. Repeat buyers focus on size and style when purchasing whereas millennials are looking for a step towards financial stability. They are looking for growing areas and not purchasing the most expensive homes in that area. Thinking like a seller can help with making that good investment.

{2018 National Home Staging Summit}

November 30, 2018November 29, 2018Leave a comment

Hey There, Happy Nesters!

Can you believe Thanksgiving has come and gone, and now we are all decorating for Christmas? Time flies when you’re having fun!

Speaking of fun… Our team had the privilege of attending HSRA’s 2018 National Home Staging Summit from November 1st thru November 3rd in Dallas, Texas. It was a blast and we learned so much!!

For those that don’t know, the Home Staging & Redesign Association {HSRA} exists to provide expert training, knowledge, and support to Home Stagers and Redesigners throughout the world, which ensures top service and results. But that’s not all, they are like family. Attending the 2018 National Home Staging Summit is like attending a family reunion. We get to connect and reconnect with other home staging professionals across the country, and it is so amazing the relationships we gain from this amazing event each year! And, what a perfect time to have such a gathering since it happened just before Thanksgiving. As the group of amazing people grows, we are able to continue to meet, connect, and learn from new people that don’t only challenge us, but also inspire us to be a better version of ourselves.

This year the theme was MOMENTUM! By keeping the momentum going, we are making it our time to shine! What is Momentum? The Webster dictionary defines it as the strength or force that something has when it is moving; the strength or force that allows something to continue to grow stronger or faster as time passes.

The three day event was power packed with events back to back! We started off with a VIP tour of Model My Home’s warehouse along with a luncheon and Q&A, then we ended the evening with a Meet & Greet at the Marriott Hotel in Downtown Dallas. Days two and three were filled with breakout sessions built to bring us closer together and establish friendships within our stager community. We had team member breakout sessions along with business owner main sessions to help build our business and help us learn and grow from the best in the biz!

We got to listen to so many speakers but just to name a few Mike Reese (Keynote Speaker), Dusty Dean, Heather Rains and many more poured valuable knowledge into us. Giving us just the jolt of energy aka MOMENTUM we need to move forward. Mike Reese what a powerful speaker; he’s what you would call a relentless learner and focuses on online and offline marketing. He encourages your business to find your ideal client and what their values and goals, how would they define success. Dusty Dean focused on Leadership and how it’s not just about being the boss its about allowing your team room to grow. Heather Rains spoke to us about our dreams and goals. Dreams don’t just happen over night they can be 10 years in the making. The process is in the purpose.

Our BIG takeaway: Aline yourself with those that will lift you up and speak life into you. That will feed you MOMENTUM and give you your moment to shine.

We were so humbled and honored to have been awarded the Top 10 Professional Home Staging Company Award along with recognition for our role as an Elite Leadership Member and for earning the Mastery Award for having 250+ hours of Continuing Education in the Home Staging Industry!

Without the 2018 National Home Staging Summit we wouldn’t have been able to gather around like-minded individuals and we wouldn’t have had the opportunity to pour knowledge into others as they poured into us.

Thank you HSRA for allowing us into your lives. Also, a personal thank you to Jana Uselton, as if it weren’t for her none of this could have ever been possible. We look forward to seeing you again at the next HSRA event. We wish all of our HSRA family an incredible holiday season and can’t wait to see how your business grow this next year!

Remember it’s your moment to shine! Now it’s time to ELEVATE our business to the next level!

Hey there, happy nesters!

Can you believe that it is already FEBRUARY? Maybe I am the only one, but I feel like the time goes by faster and faster every year!! Anyway, as we all know February is the month of ♥ LOVE ♥! And what better way to share some love than by sharing some great news! We just got word that two of our staged properties in The Woodlands have gone under contract very quickly! One of the homes received multiple offers, and finally sold for $6,000 over list price – ALL CASH. The other home was on the market for over 8 months with little interest. We staged the home and then in only 10 days received an offer! Home Staging Works!

Home buyers are falling in love with the homes we have staged, they are making solid offers, and are now preparing for their closings! And to really add some sweetness to this, one of the closings in on Valentine’s Day! We are so very happy for our clients, their realtors and the buyers on their new homes! Congratulations!!

On another note, we are preparing for another great staging project in The Woodlands, Texas. We will be staging the entire home creating a true model home experience for buyers to fall in love with! Stay tuned for photos on that project!
