vacant home staging in minneapolis st paul mn: Bathrooms - Easy Updates, Fixing Errors & A Room That Makes Them Smile! :-)
- 01/06/13 03:45 AM
Bathrooms - Easy Updates, Fixing Awkward Builder's Errors and A Room That Makes Them Smile! :-) Home Staging Minneapolis, MN Yup....you heard me. The bathroom is the perfect place to make the buyer smile. But first, lets look at how Home Staging can assist with easy updates. The Master Bath is more important than a guest bathroom. However, the buyer almost always comes to the guest bathroom first as they walk through a home. So don't let it set a negative tone that your house is outdated. Outdated immediately screams 'MONEY NEEDED' to the buyer and so many times there … (33 comments)

- 06/21/12 09:38 PM
What If You Can't Afford to Update Your Home to Sell? Realtor's and Home Stagers alike will tell you to update your home whenever possible, especially in the key areas like the kitchen and bathrooms. But what if you just can't do it? My recent client lived in her home 45 years and had done nothing to it. She had moved to a Senior Living Complex and needed to sell her home but had very limited resources to do any updates. So what should you do?? First, bring in a professional Home Stager and an Experienced Realtor to help you determine what … (21 comments)
vacant home staging in minneapolis st paul mn: Home Staging for Investors - Home Staging Minneapolis, MN
- 04/01/12 11:37 PM
Is Home Staging for Investors different than Home Staging for homeowners? Well, yes and no. Everyone wants their home to sell quickly and for as much money as possible. But for investors it is slightly different. It is a business. Getting a property sold so they can buy their next one is all that matters. Literally 'time is money'. When I met with a Realtor turned investor a couple weeks ago he told me that in 2011 he and his business partner renovated and re-sold eight homes and that he hoped to do more in 2012. He commented that the average … (19 comments)

vacant home staging in minneapolis st paul mn: Would You Rather Sell a Beige Home or a Purple and Orange Home? Staging a Home Minneapolis MN
- 07/28/11 01:14 AM
Would You Rather Sell a Beige Home or a Purple and Orange Home? Staging a Home Minneapolis, MN That sounds like a trick question doesn't it? Home Staging is all about appealing to the masses so everyone can love the home. If the buyer likes traditional they can love the home; if they like modern they can love the home. Home Stagers around the globe stress neutral, neutral, neutral. But really?? Does neutral mean Boring? Beige? It Depends......Ha, hate that answer! Pictures speak a thousand words. Keep in mind buyers only have 'pictures' when they walk into a home which are the … (26 comments)

- 07/13/11 01:55 AM
Yes....That's What I Said. This is Part 5 in my 4 Part Series on "Home Staging is More Than De-Cluttering and Moving Furniture". So don't tell me I can't count, I know, I know! I first told you that this would be a four part series featuring one home and suggestions I made in each room. I wasn't going to include the bedroom as....ah, boring. I wasn't going to include the kitchen because that had been a separate post. But then I thought, why not highlight the Master Bedroom even if the suggestion was basic; and why not show the kitchen again … (31 comments)

- 06/27/11 09:13 AM
Home Staging is So Much More Than De-Cluttering and Moving Furniture - Part 1 Home Staging Minneapolis, MN Yes, Home Staging is about de-cluttering, yes it is about moving furniture for the best traffic flow and focal point. But it is so much more. In this Four Part Series I will show one home with suggestions made to each room. This room is the Family Room. The paint was the main issue. Although blue is an 'in' color right now, it depends on the shade and hue of blue and the room it is used in. This blue wasn't doing much for the room, … (27 comments)
vacant home staging in minneapolis st paul mn: "We Got an Offer Within 8 Hours for Full Price".......What??? Home Staging in Minneapolis, MN
- 06/06/11 02:23 AM
"We Got an Offer Within 8 Hours for Full Price". Home Staging in Minneapolis, MN. What?? That was my reaction when I received this email from a Realtor yesterday. He was letting me know a house I had just staged a few days earlier had already sold. I hadn't even downloaded my pictures yet!!! Woo Hoo!! This house had great charm. Built in the early 1900s. However there were no updates and the back portion of the home had been added on in the 1970s and it was still in original mode. Hunter green carpet in the Master Bedroom and Lovely … (33 comments)
After staging the buyer can see the warmth of the entry for all who enter.
Before staging the ackward 'L' Shaped living room was a head scratcher.
After staging not only can you see how cozy it can be, but now you actually see the … (33 comments)

- 05/20/11 12:59 AM
This Ain't Your Mother's 1950's Rambler! Home Staging and Redesign in Minneapolis, MN I got the opportunity to work with a contractor who bought this 1950s Rambler in it's original condition and totally updated it for today's buyer. Do you remember the Rambler's from the 50's. Small chopped up rooms? This developer took down walls, opened up the room, opened the staircase, and put in 21st Century Upgrades. First of all check out this back-splash!
The biggest positive feedback the investor received was how open the home was. So, staging this vacant home meant keeping the openness but defining the space … (24 comments)
vacant home staging in minneapolis st paul mn: When Staging a Home Keep the Targeted Buyer in Mind - Home Staging in Bloomington, MN Sells It!
- 04/01/11 02:51 AM
When Staging a Home Keep the Targeted Buyer in Mind. Doing so is extremely important and can determine success or failure with the Home Staging. Am I staging a downtown loft or a home in the suburbs? Who lives in this neighborhood? These are some of the questions I ask myself. Point in fact: When I went to do the bid for this condo I noticed it was extremely quiet, not a lot of activity in the common areas and a few people of the older generation walking through the halls. I asked the Realtor if the buyer would likely be someone downsizing or a … (28 comments)
