Which Rooms Should We Stage? 'Key Rooms' Showcase and Sell Homes!

We provide Home Staging Consultations to home seller's throughout the San Francisco East Bay, and one of the questions is "Which rooms should we stage?". Each time we take time to discuss and spotlight the 'KEY Rooms':

Living Room ~ Impress each potential Buyer as they enter your home!

Dining Room ~ Create Sophisticated Dining!

Kitchen ~ Kitchens SELL homes!

Master Bedroom ~ Hotel Chic....Lush & Luxurious...never want to leave!

Master Bath ~ Simple Updates that are Cost Effective...Simple & Chic!

When focus is placed on these all important Key Rooms....buyers will see the value both from on-line viewing of photos and as they preview your home!

Focus on the Key Rooms will Transform...Showcase....& SELL your home! The Before & AFTERS tell & SELL the story!

Kathy - all these rooms look outstanding..........once Sensational Home Staging came in and worked its magic! Anyone can see what a difference staging makes and these MLS photos are what going to drive traffic to seller's door increasing the odds of a faster sale closer to asking price. Realtors report they always prefer showing staged homes and for good reason. They know the home will show well and look great! SUGGESTED!
