raleigh home staging: Time to Update our Raleigh Home Staging Report Card for the Last Half of 2010, WOW! - 01/05/11 02:46 PM
 
The last half of 2010, sure looked different from the first half of the year for Triangle Home Staging & Design.  With every proposal we send to prospective clients, we provide our most recent Companies Statics (by area) for them to see how we are doing, it's our report card.  Our average DOM (Days on Market) for the first half of 2010 was 49 days, up from 40 DOM for 2009. Not a bad showing all in all, but not a significant change. Then September 2010 rolled around and boy what a difference a few short months can make on your stats.  Eighteen of the … (4 comments)

raleigh home staging: Two Homes, Two Different Price Points with the same results - SOLD - 09/22/09 02:11 PM
I recently posted a blog Professional Home Staging is NOT Just for the Luxury Home Market, where I listed some of our recent successes under the $400,000 price point.  Just today I found out that two more of our very recently staged homes have gone under contract, which proves my point that professional staging should be considered for EVERY price point.
Three weeks ago we staged a spec home for a Custom Home Builder in Chapel Hill NC, listed at $1,175,000.  After languishing on the market for over 200 days the builder had us come stage the property.  Three weeks later they are under … (17 comments)

raleigh home staging: Cleaning and Decluttering does not equal Home Staging - 01/25/09 10:29 AM
You have probably heard about home staging if you are trying to sell your home.   Many homeowners believe that home staging is the process of de-cluttering and cleaning.   Truthfully, cleaning & de-cluttering is only the first step to staging your home right.  You can easily de-clutter your own home, but you have to know when enough is enough.  It is very common for Homeowners to go to far when neutralizing the decor.  It is very important to strike a balance in every room. 
Your local Professional Home Stagers are fast & efficient when it comes to de-cluttering,  but once that is done then the real work begins.  We look … (15 comments)

raleigh home staging: Inexpensive Staging Soultions....for Budget Staging......Got tips.....let's share! - 07/11/08 10:53 AM
I am always looking for solutions to reduce the cost of accessorizing without compromising the look that I want.  There seems to be certain things that I buy over and over again and I hate spending the money on.  Decorative Soaps for one is a must have, but at $3.99 a bar at best, I think it's too expensive.  I don't know why I did not think of this sooner, but I Bought a 12 pack of good old IVORY soap, some scrapbook paper that matches the colors of all the bathrooms, ribbon and stickers and created decorative bars of soaps … (19 comments)

raleigh home staging: From Confusing to Spectacular! - 08/10/07 02:33 PM
A high profile Realtor called me to consult with her about one of her properties.  She was about to list a home, but she could not figure out how one of the rooms should function.  She has been in Real Estate for 22 years and has a great eye for things, but the awkward design of this room was very Confusing.  Upon entering the home there is a long (very long) foyer which leads to what seems to be dead space in the home without a purpose.  The builder thought it maybe should be a Den of some sort (can you … (33 comments)
