home stager: Are you an INTERESTED or a COMMITTED home seller? ... How this can impact your house sale - 12/01/11 09:47 PM
I am sure you have heard this before: What is the difference between being interested and being committed?
It has been said that “when you are interested, you do whatever is most convenient. When you are committed, you do whatever it takes.”
Are YOU interested or committed to selling your house? This should be your first question when deciding to put your house on the market. YES, you are hiring a real estate agent to help with your home sale, but NO, your agent cannot do this on his/her own. The Real Estate Agent needs your commitment. There are certain aspects … (12 comments)

home stager: Why we are "Turning Places Into Loving Spaces!" - 02/10/11 10:54 PM
In order to answer this I have to tell you a little bit more about myself. I was very fortunate to grow up in a home and family that was very loving and nurturing, which is nowadays not a given thing for kids to have. I know that having a home that makes you feel relaxed, cozy, snugly, comfortable, protected, loved, and at peace is invaluable in life.
Having moved into different homes throughout Europe and then several homes here in the US, I have experienced that the design of a home gives us different energy and feelings. My passion as … (5 comments)

home stager: Hanging pendant lighting fixtures - 10/20/10 09:28 PM
As a Home Stager in Fairfield county, Connecticut, I often consult my clients to change lighting fixtures in order to update the look of a room. Great looking lighting fixtures are no longer a big expense. Local hardware stores offer great looking, inexpensive lighting fixtures.
Deciding how high or low a light fixture should hang is not easy - I am frequently getting this questions from my clients. So I thought it might be a good idea to write a short blog about the most common locations.
When hanging a pendant light or a chandellier if your dining … (18 comments)

home stager: ONE Home Staging Consultation changed the lives of many people - 09/19/10 10:34 PM
Recently a home seller who has her townhouse on the market for over a year called Redesign Your Space for a vacant home staging proposal. Since the client lives in another state, she was not aware about the exact condition of the condo - the carpet had coffee stains, the walls needed touch up painting, a whole in the wall, bathtowel fixtures were loose, wallpaper being loose,... I felt compelled to provide a clear picture to her about what needs to be done in order to be able to sell her house and provided her for free with an action plan … (11 comments)

Another color that I like to use for home staging is red.

home stager: Why waiting for staging your home until the last minute? - 05/28/10 09:53 PM
Last Friday late afternoon I received a phone call from a home seller that on Monday the real estate photographer would come, but she did not feel that the house was quite there yet to put it on the market and if I could help her last minute. On Sunday I stopped over for the initial consultation. I could tell that she had done already a lot of work decluttering, but I had to agree with her that the house was not quite there yet. We rolled up our sleeves and transformed and updated the house as much as possible. Some … (2 comments)

home stager: New AR Group - the REALTOR & HOME STAGERS INFORMATION EXCHANGE - 01/23/10 07:29 AM
For a couple of months I am now an Active Rainmaker and I am really thrilled with the content that you all are sharing. Exploring most groups on AR I have noted that there are groups that are being almost exclusively (with a few exceptions) commented by either just Realtors or just Home Stagers. What I have been missing is a group that would bring our two professions closer together. Therefore, I have created a new Group on Active Rain called "Realtors & Home Stagers Information Exchange".
This community is designed to exchange information, ideas, success stories or discussions about related … (7 comments)

home stager: Pending Home Sales fell sharply … Is YOUR House Selling Strategy complete? - 01/06/10 11:26 PM
With the current Real Estate Market situation, what does this mean for you? The market is tough. With only few buyers out there you are competing with all other home sellers for those few buyers. HGTV has indicated that the number ONE Real Estate Mistake is to fail to showcase the home and make small cosmetic changes. Have you considered all aspects of marketing to ensure that buyers choose your house over your competition?
For a successful marketing strategy (yes, selling your house is like selling any other product) the following 4 aspects of marketing should be considered:
