East Hampton, NY Staging Consultation

I recently had the opportunity to do a two hour/owner occupied Home Staging Consultation in East Hampton, NY.

The two hour consultation was formerly my "bread and butter" when I lived in MD and I loved doing them. In the six months I've been back in The Hamptons I've only done two. It seems to be a concept that hasn't caught on here....YET!

The two hour consultation is a fabulous bargain for the an owner occupied home that needs a "face-lift" and some TLC from a trained professional. If the owner is a DIY-er, even more so, they can complete most of the work themselves. Rearranging furniture and rehanging artwork to create focal points, a coat of fresh paint where appropriate and some de-cluttering can make a world of difference! I hope the word gets around what an affordable option this is for home sellers who want their homes to sell faster and at top dollar.

I'm posting a few before and after shots. Remember, this was accomplished by utilizing what the client had in the house plus a coat of paint and a good cleaning.

Here is what the home seller had to say:

In a brief two hours, Allegra  utterly transformed  my East Hampton home.  With her advice about  furniture and picture reorganization, new paint colors, a thorough cleaning and improved "curb appeal," my house now looks absolutely wonderful...at a surprisingly modest cost."
Helen Horowitz, East Hampton

And the Realtor who referred me:

"Allegra, thank you for the list of recommendations, I agree
with you 100%. With the living room furniture in that position now you can see  the fireplace as you walk up the stairs. Even if Mrs. Horowitz will do only some of your other suggestions, that will be a great improvement.
