home sale staging: Home Staging - Simple "Tweaks" Can Make a Big Difference in how Buyers Feel About Your Home - 07/10/11 12:47 PM
A simple this or a simple that can make all the difference. This is ANOTHER staging post that I feel gives great attention as to why staging your home is so important for buyers. You are showing your home to it's optimum advantage using YOUR things.
With another valuable point of view, how come you (seller) didn't think of changing that livingroom around before? Now it shows off all the great features - fireplace, windows and no longer blocking the entry into the room.

home sale staging: Home Staging Advice - Does Each Room Pass the Yardstick Test? - 03/27/11 05:31 PM
I'm a real stickler for staging your home and preparing for being the top buyer selection when selling your home in this tough market. This is just great advice as so many sellers have just too much furniture in a room that we have to squeeze through OR have your furniture lining the walls thruout the entire house.
Take a few moments and actually plan how your rooms flow. Is there enough room around that furniture? This is a great post that explains just that from Janet Jones.

home sale staging: Seller Advice - Help, my Retinas are under Attack! - 12/15/10 09:11 AM
My Retinas are Under Attack! What do Barney, Big Bird and Spiderman have in common? Bold obnoxious colors! These are great colors for childrens toys but for entire rooms in your home? Worse yet, mix the colors in the same room?My retinas are under attack on a daily basis as a Realtor®. I've got a real problem with someone out there (and I'll find out who you are) that started this new primary color trend. I've got nothing against color, I actually love the color red and it's one of my favorites. I actually loved the trend a few years ago … (11 comments)

home sale staging: Need a Make Under? Is your Home Overdressed? - 08/24/10 04:10 PM
There is a great thought behind this post besides 'remove the clutter Mr. Seller'. Most homes I see on the market truly need a 'Make Under' as mentioned here.
Excellent advice from Tessa Skeens in Texas.
Via Tessa Skeens - Hampton Redesign (Hampton ReDesign, Home Staging and Redesign in Fort Worth TX): Happened to be home when Oprah was on this afternoon. The topic was Makeunders. Women who needed less not more. But this also applies to homes. Nate Berkus did a room Makeunder and it inspired me!Every home that goes on sale needs a makeunder. The less of you, … (5 comments)

home sale staging: Seven Home Staging Steps That Will Sell Your Home! - 08/18/10 08:39 AM
Sellers here's some great advice! Define the space! If you have been using your Dining Room area for a children's play center, buyers will not remember the 'function' of the room any other way. Your room's function is a 'Dining Room' - as a family eating/gathering area not a pink Barbie play area!
Define the space with the highest $$ use for the broadest range of buyers. This also applies for your Familyroom if used as a play area. A garage that has been transformed into a 'Man Cave'.
This is from Sharon Tara a stager from New Hampshire. Enjoy!

home sale staging: Home Sale Staging - It's not a bunch of 'Hooey' and here's the reasons why! - 02/05/10 11:40 AM
Yes I said HOOEY! You are making a sad mistake Mr. or Ms. Seller by not paying attention to a trend that is now becoming mandatory. Think buyers won't care or don't care how your vacant home shows? Read the stats here.
Now before you say, Oh Lyn, there you go whining again about staging! Yep, I'm not going to stop because it's that important. It's not about how YOU feel, it's about what your buyers will think or do think. Got that? It's about them.
So enough of my mini rant and please read this post from a stager in … (5 comments)

home sale staging: Staging Advice - Seller fesses up about ugly wallpaper! - 12/30/09 02:29 PM
Seller fesses up about ugly kitchen wallpaper ....... Yes, it's true so I wanted to document it here for all to see! A seller of one of my listings actually said something that Realtors® don't hear every day! Yes, the house looks soooo much better without the country blue 90's wallpaper. I should have done it long ago, it looks soooo great! You were right Lyn, it freshens up the whole kitchen. Everything looks better!This is where my mouth dropped open as I was stunned! Could it be that a seller actually took my advice and is happy with the staging … (10 comments)

home sale staging: Dear Mr. Seller, I TRIED to Help You, but ... - 09/21/09 12:25 PM
STAGING ADVICE ~~ Some agents don't believe in it and say it doesn't help. To see a home languish on the market with clutter and ill placed furniture is just a complete shame to me. Hiring a stager in this market place can mean the difference between selling your home and not selling it. Plain and simple. I'm a pretty direct kinda' gal.
As these posts elude too, your first price reduction on your home will cover the staging costs! In some cases - many, many dollars less!

home sale staging: Sellers - Unwrap your walls and reveal the gift to your buyers - 09/06/09 04:14 PM
Well here's me offering up more invaluable advice on selling your home and getting your home ready for the market place! This post is from a very savvy stager in Texas, Karen Otto, that you should take very seriously.
Here's the real truth that I want to share with you - NO ONE LIKES YOUR WALLPAPER. You probably don't even like it anymore so why should a new buyer? It's 15 years old and out of style, why would a new buyer like it? No one I have ever showed a home too has said, Wow Lyn, the wallpaper is great! Most … (7 comments)
