kfm staging: Holiday Home Staging Tips - 11/28/08 09:40 AM
Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Kwanzaa Tidings, and Festivus Greetings to all! No matter what holiday you are celebrating, staging your home during the holidays can be hassle-free by following these simple guidelines: DO NOT OVER-DECORATE: Too many decorations created unwanted effects on your home. 1) Buyers will not remember the house's features, 2) The house will appear small and cluttered, 3) Overwhelming religious holiday decor may be offensive to hardcore PC buyers. DO, MINIMAL SEASONAL DECOR: Keep seasonal decor to localized areas such as the fireplace mantle, table center pieces, and vanities. Having just a few pieces will give the "flavor" … (8 comments)

kfm staging: "Your kids aren't THAT cute..." and Other Things Realtors Won't Tell You - 10/16/08 11:11 AM

In the real estate world, a seller has control over two things:  the price of their property and condition of their home.  While Realtors help sellers determine a price, many agents count on home stagers to deliver the "bad news" to their clients about the appearance of their house.
  TOP TEN THINGS (some) REALTORS WON'T TELL YOU
"Your kids aren't that cute... pack the photos." "Multi-colored carpet does not include stains." "Hummel collections are not considered focal points." "Toilet seat covers do not qualify as 'spa-like' accessories." "Mint green is not a neutral color." "Your dining table should never be used as long-term storage space." "Most buyers are … (20 comments)

kfm staging: Expo Idea - 08/07/08 12:25 PM

Necessity is the mother of invention!
Well... maybe not an invention but a pretty good idea.  At a recent real estate expo I brought an electronic photo frame that displayed before and after photos of staging projects.  This "show" gave agents a quick example of my work and the impact staging has on a room.

This wonderful addition to my marketing arsenal is eye catching, compact, easily movable, and can be reprogrammed to accomodate varying clients!

With the popularity of home staging TV shows, many fans are getting a skewed view of the true costs of staging a house.
Through the magic of television, rooms are transformed within 30 minutes. Homeowners are shown updating light fixtures, removing walls, installing new carpet, and buying furniture for the amazing low price of $2000!
Real life home stagers are sometimes met with sticker-shocked homeowners when the estimated figure for staging their home is given.
However, what the general public may not realize that there is more to a vacant staging project than just bringing in a sofa and … (30 comments)
