I had the good fortune of staging the most adorable home on Friday of last week in Smyrna, Georgia. The home was filled with wonderful accessories; great lamps and awesome furniture. The couple, Jeff & Tracey, had hired me a year ago to stage an investment home that they had rennovated. It was a great move as they had two offers during their open house and the house had closed in just 2.5 weeks.
The reason why I was there on Friday is that they were now putting their own home on the market. They had made some great decisions with respect to the changes they thought would be important to a buyer. Here's what they decided upon:
- Remodeled their master bathroom with a wonderful tile (shower and flooring).
- Painted molding and walls throughout most of the home
- Had the Home Staged
So why was the third item (home staged) such an important decision? While it was obvious that she was comfortable with decorating, she was unsure as to what changes they needed to make to further showcase their home.
Here are a few of the changes we made:
- Re-arranged the living room to highlight the amount of space.
- Removed most of the personal pictures.
- Removed a pub table located in the sun-room
- Removed an over-size dresser in their bedroom as it made the room appear smaller.
Understanding what changes need to be made can sometimes be a challenge for homeowners. The best advice is to seek out a professional who understands what needs to be removed; added and/or changed.
We have a professional photographer coming in this week so, when I receive the after pictures, I'll be sure to provide an update to this post.
