Real Estate Blog - "I like it! And could I make an appointment to have you come over to my new house?"

"I like it! And could I make an appointment to have you come over to my new house?"

As a quick follow up to my previous blog, "What if I don't like it?" I just wanted to say that I spoke to both the Realtor and Seller today to find out their thoughts about the final staging. The Realtor has updated the photos on the web and I'm happy to report both Realtor and client really "liked it!".

The seller even went as far as to ask whether or not I can do the same for their new residence, "Yes!" and I'll be making an appointment for a home staging consultation very soon.

Building trust is something I value with my clients and I totally get their hesitation if they "don't know if they'll like it."

I work to continually improve my service and my craft and it is my goal to make many others like "it" especially the HOUSE!

BEFORE: This was an area that buyers were having a hard time seeing where to put the TV with an angle in the room, the cables were actually opposite to the fireplace on the wall across the room (out of the shot of the photo)

AFTER: Proper placement of furniture and an entertainment armoire shows buyers exactly where to put the TV or even a flat screen over the fireplace in the future.

Proudly serving, Collin County and North Dallas, Realtors, Developers, Sellers & Investors, Home Star Staging is here for you Texas!

Looks great Karen, Congrats on a job well done. I am glad it has lead to another one for you.

The chairs look so great with the fireplace!! Great job!!

Me too Barbara, thanks!

Those are some CORT chairs Cathy.

Thx for sharing -- it looks marvelous, my dear!

question? did you have the entertainment center in inventory or did you rent? I often deliberate on the way to go when this piece needs to be shown for electronics.

Rented it and got great deal because there were so many in stock. I don't keep any inventory I cannot physically move myself in my props Ms. Karen it's a health and safety decision ;-)

Karen, don't you just LOVE that? It's so validating! We currently have several Interior Design and Decorating projects going on that ALL came from Sellers that used our Staging, or the LREAs themselves. =) woo-hoo!

Absolutely Connie, it is a great thing! Congratulations to you on your successes!

Hi Karen, What a positive validation of your work when the client also asks for your services at the new home. Isn't it fun?

I love the 3 vases w/ the curly willow on the table behind the couch. Congratulations!

Hi Karen, that last comment was by me Cynthia Bartch. I keep getting those errors and kicked out this morning, yikes I hope it's not a hint!

Congrats Karen, the room looks great and the chairs compliments the fireplace very nicely!

Karen ~ Love the furniture and the way it works in the room!

Congrats on another success Karen!

Well done Karen! It looks wonderful!

Great job Girlfriend! I can see why the Realtor and Seller's love your home staging! I am the same way.....I want everyone to like/love it.....especially the home buyer's!!!

Thank you Cynthia, the vases were from Garden Ridge last year.

The fireplace needed something I thought Tosha because for some tastes it was outdated, thanks for noticing the chairs!

Thank you for reading Kathy, Jessica and Wendy!

Hey Janice, I'm OK if they don't love it but do want them to understand that I want buyers to love the house!

Love it, looks great!

Please keep me informed if there's another stager get together in the DFW area. Would love to meet you some time.

Karen, the color scheme brings that room to life. I can see why everyone liked it. Great job!

Beautiful job! I love the colors, the placement, the simplicity of it.

Yes mam, those in Texas are lucky to have someone of your talent. Thanks for sharing!!!

Karen, your funiture placement looks warm, open...and very inviting. Not to mention, your colour choice really highlights the beautiful focal point, the fireplace. Thanks for showing us!

I like it too - giving you a big ole Texas star!

Yes Liz in November I'll be hosting the SIF Roundtable again at CORT in IRVING. Keep checking my blog.

Thanks Tanya!

Yes Sharon, I lean towards being a minimalist when it comes to staging - simplicity and a clear vision sells in the price points I work with.

Thank you Ms. Terrylynn!

The fireplace was a little bit of a challenge and I wanted colors to enhance it. Today many of the fireplaces here in TX are natural stone, not brick, so to some it's dated. Thank you Wendy!

Hey Kathleen you snuck that star in there before I saw you! Thanks!
