NH Home Staging Consult - Before & After - Contingent In 3 Weeks!
A few months ago I did a Home Staging Consult for a nice couple planning to list their house for sale. Their agent, John Rice of Tate & Foss, recommends staging consults to all his new listings and had them call me.
My first impression was that the house was much older than it actually is.
The first room you see upon entering their house is the living room. It screamed "colonial" with a dated eagle mirror over the fireplace and a burgundy and navy color scheme. There was too much furniture, making the room appear smaller and heavy drapes darkened the room. The custom built-ins and the beautiful molding were hardly noticeable.
The sellers had ordered a new leather chair to replace one of the chairs and were awaiting delivery. I suggested removing both of the existing chairs and only using the new one.
I suggested purchasing a slipcover for the sofa.
I told them to replace the heavy drapes with sheers.
I reorganized the built-ins, replaced the mirror with a picture from another room, and found a coffee table in the basement.
The sellers did an excellent job following my suggestions throughout the home, and I'm very happy to report that they had an offer almost immediately upon listing.....contingent in just three weeks!!
