Home Staging Tips-Boynton Beach- Don't Put the Cart Before the Horse!

Kathy Streib good day to you Ma'am so tell me how do you get around that couch go outside and come in the door ??? HMMM just wondering how one might make that work. How about getting rid of that couch and make the room look much larger. Have a blessed day 

Kathy, this is good information for the Seller. In the excitement of preparing to move to their dream home, sellers do not think about choices they make as having an affect on the sale of their current house. 

Sellers would do well to use the advise of a home staging professional, and Kathy is one of the best.

BARFF, no one should sell in your area without contacting you first.  Very valuable information.

This is very good advice for home sellers. Many of us have too much stuff in our homes.

Excellent advice, Kathy.  Don't mess up your current sale with dreams of the future.

Now that is a tight room. I've told quite a few of my clients who need to replace their old sofa while their house was on the market and they said, we'll just buy something that we want in our new house! No you will not! It needs to fit your current house and unless you want the same exact sofa, you're better off working with other pieces you have or renting. 

kathy, you always have great advice and this post is no exception....thanks again!

The mortgage part is especially true.  Buyers just don't think about it and want their new furniture ready to be delivered the day of closing!

Hi Kathy... I'm with Roger... Happy Day

Good morning, Kathy -- excellent advice.  There's a reason why the cart is behind the horse -- things need to proceed in a certain order.   

Kathy

Your post is right on point . . . .

Good luck and success.

Kathy, Nice post!  We as agent tell sellers to de-clutter, and make the home looks as large as possible, that means no boxes or extra large furniture.

Great post Kathy and yes you are right-do not buy furniture until you have the new space! Better show the place empty than with furniture that will not fit into the next home!

Kathy,

Great info, and how silly to have the new furniture in the old house also...Yikes, it would be so easy to turn around and say, show me something else.  A

Excellent advice....slow down and don't make any major purchases (or even small ones for that matter) before speaking with a professional!

Kathy glad you included that last paragraph on what these purchase can have a very negative impact on the mortgage process.

Very good advice, Kathy.  don't buy new furniture or anything that is a big expense before you close on  your new home!  Make do and call a professional stager for good advice!

that picture says it all Kathy, please wait to buy the new sofa and either rent or borrow one for the staging of the property for sale. Great advice as always.
