Coming Soon To The Woodlands Area

Hey there Happy Nesters,

Hope everyone is enjoying this nice Fall Weather! Okay, I know it is Houston and we don’t really have true Fall weather, but a girl can hope can’t she?!

This week we staged a super cute single story home in The Woodlands / Conroe area close to The Woodlands College Park High School. Based on the layout of this home, we staged the Formal Dining, Living Room, Master Bedroom, Bathrooms and Kitchen to highlight all of the beautiful features this home has to offer buyers.

This home offers 1,834 Square Feet, with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a large family room, separate formal dining and breakfast nook, and a large master retreat. The backyard is a great size for entertaining and playtime with your kids! Check out the photos below. If you are interested in scheduling a tour, click on the link below for the home. This one won’t last long!

Staging Investment Properties

Hey there Happy Nesters,

How is everyone on this gorgeous day? The weather here in the Houston area has been hot but it is so beautiful out! It has been a super busy week for us at Staging The Nest. We started our week out de-staging a home that sold very quickly and for top dollar out in the Magnolia area. Then we worked in our warehouse creating staging plans for the Vacant Staging projects that we had later in the week. We pulled artwork, throw pillows, accessories and all the furniture each home needed in order to give it that beautiful staged look. We also did a little shopping for inventory items as well as some specialty items needed for each of the homes.

This week, we worked with multiple Real Estate Investors on their Renovation & Flip properties. Real Estate is always changing, some months are more of a Seller’s Market, some month’s are more of a Buyer’s Market. Real Estate is also a Feast or Famine type of industry. With Real Estate Investors, they are always looking for the next best deal to invest in, whether that will be for a flip property or a buy-hold property that they plan to lease over time.

We have connected with multiple Real Estate Investors to stage their properties once the renovations are completed. The Investors factor our staging price into their rehab budget so they know their “all-in” costs when it comes to flipping a home, from start to finish. And staging is ever-more important. Staging is marketing; Staging is merchandizing; Staging is what sells homes. The visual purpose of staging a flip house is to define the areas in the property, give the property some personality, create emotional connection points for buyers, and showcase the beautiful features of the property. By doing all of this, we turn the property into a home that buyers connect to. The goal of staging is to get buyers to fall in love with the property so they make an offer, and the home sells! We help our Real Estate Investors sell their properties quickly and for top dollar, because we want them to get the best Return on their Investment!

Check out one of our Vacant Staging projects that we completed this week for a Real Estate Investor in The Woodlands area.

If you are planning to invest in Real Estate, whether to renovate and flip a home, or to simply lease it out, contact us first to stage your property. You should get your staging proposal upfront so that you can factor the cost of staging into your investment and renovation budget. Unplanned expenses come up when renovating a home, but staging shouldn’t be one of them. As we like to say… Don’t Delay, Stage Today! Staging before listing the home for sale sets you up for success!

Farmhouse Home Staging

Hey there happy nesters,

As we all know, the farmhouse style is the latest craze with home design and decor, with a big thanks to Chip and Joanna in Waco. And who doesn’t love that soft look of reclaimed wood, painted furniture, and farmhouse style accent decor?  Well, this home did not disappoint. This is a true original farmhouse, nestled on five and a half acres in the little town of Magnolia, Texas.

The property features private gate access, a fully air conditioned Dog Kennel with 10 dog runs outside, a stocked pond, a barn and a vegetable garden and that’s just whats outside. On the interior of the home, you will find original wood paneling that is painted white for that farmhouse shiplap look; a wood burning brick fireplace with custom mantle; a large updated open kitchen; a huge walk-in pantry with room for your fridge and a back porch entrance; new hardwood flooring; custom master bathroom that is to die for; additional guest bedrooms with plenty of space for your family and friends; and a bonus room that could be used as a secondary living room, a study, or a game room – you decide!

If you are looking for a home with all the charm of farmhouse living, look no further. Take a look at these photos for your viewing pleasure! And if you are interested in scheduling a showing for this home, feel free to reach out to us and we will put you in contact with the listing agent. Ashley@StagingTheNest.com

Thanks for checking out our newest staging project. We can’t wait to share our upcoming projects as well. Stay tuned…

And in the meantime, if you need to stage your home send us an email or give me a call. I’d love to chat with you about staging your nest! 832-427-2463

Profit Killing Mistakes for Houston Home Flippers

Hey there, happy nesters! Can you believe that it’s already 2017? The holidays came and went in a flash! And now we are in a new year, which means the Houston area Real Estate market has changed again!

A new year means many Houston area homes will be listed for sale very soon on http://www.HAR.com! That being said, this blog post is very important especially for home flippers in and around the Houston and The Woodlands areas.

There are hundreds of new home flippers every year; some that have zero prior experience in the house flipping industry and/or real estate industry. What does this mean? Well this means that these new flippers are most likely making rookie mistakes which will kill their profits when it comes time to sell the property.

So, if you are a new (or experienced) home flipper, check out these 4 most common mistakes made by New Home Flippers. And, let’s make sure that you are not making any of these mistakes.

  1. Not Putting Together a Team: You must have a team of vendors from lawyers to realtors, and wholesalers to lenders. Be prepared!
  2. Not Vetting the GC: The majority of issues new investors have during their first flip are the result of contractor issues. Thoroughly VET your contractor!
  3. Not Staging: Staged homes sell up to 2.5x quicker and for up to 17% more than non-staged homes! Give me a call and I can help you with this! 832-427-2463 | Ashley@StagingTheNest.com
  4. Holding Too Long: The longer you hold onto your property, the more costs you will incur. Price wisely, sell the property, and collect your profits!

Before you begin, make sure you have all the right people in place to help you succeed with your home flipping business! There are always surprises when you start working on a new flip, so be ready!

Real Estate Home Staging

Hey there happy nesters! I am not sure about you, but I am truly enjoying this cooler weather here in The Woodlands! I sure hope it continues!

I want to talk today about our Realtor Relationships. For us, this means developing long lasting, effective relationships with Houston and The Woodlands areas Realtors who you as the homeowner will most likely work with, when it comes time to put your home on the market.

Our relationship with local Houston area Realtors, Brokers, Investors and Flippers is essential to our business and working with homeowners in more than one way.

stagingquoteFirst off, partnering with local agents and brokers as their home staging professional, gives them the competitive edge over other agents who simply don’t work with home stagers. Home Staging is the equivalent to product merchandizing, and when you are selling your home, you are competing with other homes on the market. Yo
u MUST set your home apart in order to attract buyers. This means properly decluttering, organizing, staging, photographing, and listing your home for sale in Multiple Listing Service {MLS}.

There are agents out there who believe that home staging does not work or is “fluff” for the industry. But the results truly speak for themselves. When a home has beedesignquote12n on the
market for months having NOT been staged, and does not sell, the homeowner usually gets frustrated and doesn’t know why. But when that same home is the
n staged and re-listed for sale, it generally will sell very quickly – sometimes within a week or two. However, I truly believe that it is incredibly important to stage a home prior to EVER listing it for sale. When you stage your home first, you will capture the market from day one. If you list and then stage, you will have lost a significant number of buyers online and/or at an open house.

The cost to stage your home is LESS than your first price reduction!

Secondly, agents who partner with a home staging professional will usually offer the home staging service as a part of their real estate listing service. What does this mean for you, the homeowner? This means you get a FREE home staging consultation! Your agent pays for this service for you. During this consultation, you get a professional home stager to walk through your home and give you priceless advice on how to make changes in your home in order to sell your home for top dollar! This advice you receive is unbiased and will give you insight to how a buyer sees your home.

Third, the relationship division is very important. When you work with your realtor who is also a “certified” home stager, you now have the same person providing you with Houston area neighborhood comps, as well as home staging tips. But you as the homeowner should want a true professional for each of those services. A Realtor will know about home staging, as many of them can take a 3-hour training course on home staging, but a professional home stager is certified through top accredited staging courses with hundreds of hours of training, online, in-person, hands-on and more. My point to noting this difference is that anyone with an eye for decorating a house can give you recommendations, but a true home staging professional will know all of things you will need to do to prepare your home inside and out, prior to and during the sale of your home. And the best part is that you get two professionals who are each experts in what they do, work together helping in the sale of YOUR home instead of one person doing all of this for you. A real estate marketing team will help you stay ahead of your competition and will make sure you do everything possible to go from “For Sale” to “SOLD!”

If you would like to schedule a home staging consultation, give me a call! I would love work with you and your realtor! Together, we will make the real estate marketing dream team for you! Check out our Home Staging options for more information about Occupied Home Staging and Vacant Home Staging.
