Home Staging Photography done professionally.  Part One
As a home stager you may know the ins and outs of how to best present a house for the market. You may also know how to market your business to increase your volume.  But do you know how to photograph a property to show it at its best and to builg your professional portfolio?
Before the actual staging begins and long before the showcasing, you should start planning your photography for the project.  You need to have multiple BEFORE shots of each room, even the ones that you may not be staging. Why every room?  More than … (42 comments)

california: Will your craft make Buyers want your house? You might be surprised at what we suggest. - 07/30/11 03:38 AM
Will your craft make Buyers want your house?  You might be surprised at what our Oakhurst Home Staging Company would suggest. 
The lovely lady/seller of this house was a serious crafter.  One full bedroom of her three bedroom house was solely for her craft.  For "dwelling" and her enjoyment, what a wonderful space.  But for selling, not so much.

Since this space was originally intented to be a bedroom, but the sellers didn't have an extra bed and they didn't want to rent our inventory, our suggestion was to pack up the room and simplify it as much as possible.
Here are the results: 

Are you surprised?

california: Agents, would you ask your clients to do this? - 07/28/11 05:38 AM
Agents, would you ask your clients to do this? 
When the sellers of this house called our Oakhurst California home staging company to help make this house more market friendly, we gave these clients a long to-do list and this closet was on that list.   
 
To some people this space says, "Oh how handy or what a smart idea."  To others it says, "Mauve, oh great we would have to paint and where's the closet?" 
First, it's important to understand the layout of the house where this "mini office" was placed.  This is a three bedroom house with no pre-defined office space.  Since the lady of … (25 comments)

california: Please pack your OSCAR. - 06/16/11 03:43 AM
 
Please pack your OSCAR.
 

 
 I can imagine that if I'd ever won one of these prestigious golden statues, I too would want to show it off, but........
During a staging consultation this gleaming, gold honor was proudly displayed in a specially created niche, with lighting and presence in the room.  It had become the focal point of the living area in this house and the seller (award recipient) was shocked when I suggested that his prized trophy be packed away in preparation for getting his house on the market.   
Every house that we see has precious objects that owners want … (27 comments)

california: True signs of spring: Daffodil Hill, Sutter Creek, CA - 04/12/11 12:23 PM
We recently made a day trip to this glorious location. 
From Central California it's about a 3.5 hour trip.  Located off of Highway 49, out of Jackson or Sutter Creek, CA., in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada. 

If you need a taste of the country and spring, get there soon.  The bloom happens quickly and will soon be over.  Google McLaughlin Daffodil Hill, Calif. for driving directions and more information.  Call before you go, just in case.  Even better it's free with optional donation.

This blog post was written by Julie Davis but I thought it deserved to be posted publicly so I got her permission to copy and repost.  I have turned off comments so please comment on the original post here: I just have one question......
Yesterday we were at a home of a client for a Home Staging Consultation.  We were sent there by a Realtor we work with at GreenWell Realty in Andover, Minnesota.  We have quite an extensive working relationship between our two businesses, and one of the main aspects is that they bring us in on every listing (minus … (0 comments)
