Home staging prepares the seller for the next stage of life!!!

If you are selling your home, one stage of your life is ending.

Perhaps, it is the stage where you've proposed and your quaint bungalow is not spacious enough for you and the new wife. You were expecting a baby only to get the ultrasound and find out you are expecting twins.

My how time has flown! The twins are growing so fast, now they want their own rooms and you are in need of a guest room for the visiting in-laws. The house is Shrinking!

The twins have left have left for college, it's just you and your bride, the house is GROWING! Time for a bungalow again!

Selling a home is very stressful. As you prepare for the next STAGE of LIFE, seek a savvy Realtor who understands the benefits of staging. Together, we will help de-stress your life. The focus of staging is to make the house more marketable by creating the most appealing home to the greatest number of prospective buyers.

Contrary to the popular shows on TV, the stager is always empathetic to the situation and very tactful. Oftentimes, we are able to interject the humor in our lives to bring ease and comfort into the situation, as you prepare to mentally move on to the next stage in your life. I tell seller that if I were selling my house, I would have to reduce the attention that my RED sofa draws, when you walk into my family room! I would have to return my guest room to its former glory. Currently, it is the den to my teenage son and his friends. I hate Sunday football!

Let a stager help you prepare your home for sale, so you can move on to the next STAGE of your life!

The designs specialist of First Impressions is here to assist the Realtors of Upstate, SC and to help homeowners prepare for the next STAGE of life.

Veronica, I'm 39 years old and have lived in Greenville for over 20 years! It is always amazing me how much this area has GROWN!

Cindy, exactly!

Marci - Thanks for the great post - I think sometimes you need a background in Psychology to help move people to the next phase in their lives.

Maureen, that was my major in college! Psychology!

Marci and Maureen---I am in agreement with you both that having some knowledge of psychology is essential in this business. And Marci, kudos to you for using a word (de-stress) with "de-" in front of it that isn't negative. I am going to add that one to my list of positive marketing messages.

Judy, Thank you and you know how I feel about a compliment from JUDY KINCAID!

Nicely put Marci

Ah, the Staging refrain....I can hear it now: When your home goes up for sale it becomes a product on the market for sale. Like other products for sale, it has competition. When you want to sell the house faster you need to up-Stage the competition. Say it with me, the way you live in your home and the way we market and sell your house are two different things! And repeat refrain.....

Keep Staging it forward

Hi Marci,

You sound like you are helping your friends. That is nice! But what negatives are you talking about from TV?

Hey Sheron! I was watching a show last night, in which the designer/realtor told the homeowner.. This is a mess!!! Then, they went into the bedroom, the designer told the home owner those curtains have got to go! The homewoners says, my sister-in-law gave them to me! The designer says, "And you still speak to her?" The homeowner looked real upset. I'm just trying to let the homewoner know that we dont do that AT ALL!

Sweet people who are very sad to leave and their style was definitely hard to work around but they know they need to MOOOOVE on, that's where we all come in to help
