home staging consultation: Leave No Room Behind. (Or Unstaged) Selling By Design-Staging Fresno, CA - 12/09/11 03:40 PM
As a professional home stager, I visit the mls on a regular basis to see what's out there on the market. Many times the main living areas look nice and maybe even professionally done. Then the photo tour goes to the leftover rooms, the spare or the "no one knows what to do with" room.
Here the visual impact falls apart. Some of these rooms are used as storage for mismatched furniture, or worse anything that the owners don't know where else to put. A room might be used a guest room, but the old bedding and again, the mismatched or … (5 comments)

home staging consultation: How To Avoid Seeing The Things That No One Should See. - 10/21/11 04:27 PM

Today's real estate market, like the overall ecomomy is suffering. Why then would home sellers and their agents willingly throw money away by leaving home staging out of their marketing strategy?
Why not just take a ten to fifty thousand dollars and burn it in a bonfire? Sounds silly doesn't it? Why would anyone do that? They would not of course, but when a seller does a price reduction, maybe two or three, it is money lost.

home staging consultation: Agents, I Need Your Opinions And Advice Regarding Home Staging Consultations - 07/13/11 06:46 PM
As a home staging professional I have worked with many hard working, enthusiastic real estate agents. We have collaborated our efforts to sell many a home. Some agents have been so convinced of the value of staging that they have even pitched in and gone above and beyond the call. One painted a room for a client and the other helped the homeowner, a widower, clean his kitchen. In both instances the work was grueling, but well worth the effort.
One real estate agent told me that he liked having a home stager advise his clients so that he did not have … (12 comments)

There are numerous reasons why all homes, including those which are FOR SALE BY OWNER, need the help of a home staging professional. Here are the top five.
1. A home staging professional will have an objective or "buyers" eye when viewing your home.
