staging your home

By
Home Stager with HMP Industries
As soon as you decide to sell your home, everything changes! Your home becomes a marketable product. It is so important that potential buyers do not feel they are intruding in your space; they need to feel they are 'at home' and not 'in your home'.

The idea is to create just enough theater for potential buyers to see how they could live in the house, whether or not you've lived that way. A Staged home makes this process easier and faster for buyers because a Staged home has the following characteristics:

It has curb appeal, because your home doesn't get a second chance to make a great first impression!
It is impeccably clean, spotless and in good repair.
The neutral color scheme and decorating appeal to a wide group of potential buyers.
While it is not cluttered, it is decorated just enough to appear warm and inviting.
It is depersonalized to focus attention on the positive features of the house, not the seller's stuff.
Rooms are furnished to showcase their intended purposes: living rooms look like living rooms not offices, dining rooms look like dining rooms not children's playrooms, and so on.
