If you are selling you're home and decide to have a home stager give you a consultation keep an open mind.  Our fist reaction as homeowners is "this is where we live, don't say bad things about my home".  True, and we understand that.  But once you make that decision to sell your home, it becomes another product competing with all of the other products similar or in the same price range out there. When you go to the store, isn't there always a product that catches your eye?  That's what you want your house to do, catch that buyers eye, whether it be online or while driving by. 

As a professional home stager I can tell you that home sellers that keep an open mind and have the attitude of wanting to sell their home expeditiously will always have the property that catches your eye. 

When I walk through a home and point out areas of concern, don't take it personally.  You don't want a home buyer nitpicking your home apart.  That is why we go through your home with a fine tooth comb, so buyers won't have anything to pick apart.

In this market with so many homes for sale, a buyer will walk through a home and start a list of things that they want addressed or even worse they will start subtracting dollars off the list price.

If we suggest removing your favorite piece of furniture, or painting the walls a certain color there is a reason.  We don't judge you or you're decorating tastes. 

You may have spent alot of money customizing your home to your design tastes, and it may be beautiful, but not everyone has the same tastes.  Look at any decorating magazine, television show or even friends homes.  You'll see everything from country to contemporary to college leftovers.

So when getting the adivce from a home stager keep on open mind, it's not a personal attack, or criticism.

We want your house to sell just as much as you do,  afterall that's why we do what we do!
