Ask Around: Chances are Good Someone You Know Has Worked with Me!

By
Home Stager with Owner, The Refreshed Home White Plains NY

"Celebrity Stager" certainly sounds glamorous, but anyone really involved with this field knows it's more a fantasy.

Home Staging can be hard work, but it's also a lot more stealth than you might imagine. Sellers and their agents both have a lot on the line, then ohyes, there's this property that needs to shine, center-stage, too...

Value is a perception, always in the eye of the beholder. The value of a service is often difficult to describe until you've experienced it.

Interior Decorating and Home Staging are highly personal services, delivered in a hyper-local environment: a set of solutions tightly calibrated to a clients needs, goals and expectations. Aesthetics are important, but Staging solutions also reflect the current market; consider, and support the agents' pricing and marketing strategy.

Thirty-plus years in homes-first as an Interior Decorator, then as a Home Stager here in Westchester County, I am proud to suggest potential clients and their agents ask around, because chances are good someone they know has worked with me.

While projects are not about me, or my personality, they kind of are, at least a little, in the beginning. We start with the relationship. You'll want to feel comfortable communicating with me, feel you can trust me , as well as my ideas, or color sense.

As owner of The Refreshed Home, I'm proud of the message I've crafted, the people who've been helped by our results, the friends I've made, and the presence I have here within the Westchester County Real Estate community. TRH knows experience matters, kindness counts, and discretion is a given.

So you probably won't see The Refreshed Home on HGTV anytime soon, but ask around: chances are good someone you know has worked with me!

Our spaces affect us profoundly...and so many other parts in our life fall into place when our spaces and possessions serve us in the best way they can. But getting there is much more than a pursuit of pleasing aesthetics.

 

Decorating and Staging are different, but much of the skill sets overlap, and each creates unique solutions that considers the needs, goals, resources, expectations, hopes and dreams of each client.

Bettering Westchester, Putnam and lower Fairfield counties since 1981, The Refreshed Home works collaboratively, and brings a thoughtful approach to the creative process. Proud to make a difference, as well as make a living. Offering specialty services such as remote and buyer consults, listing photo/video styling, guided and accompanied shopping, and accessory rental. We get in, get out, and you get on with your life.  Talk to me TODAY about how we can better your space!

Very impressive, in our area home staging really started about 7 or 8 years ago although I venture to guess that savvy agents were doing their own staging before that time

Marie, while it IS about the client, it's also about you because you are the glue, engineer and architect of your clients dreams...that extra set of eyes that can visualize what they want and need!
