Sellers, just LET GO!!! There, now doesn't that feel better?

Did you ever notice that when your clients house sells and it is time to de-stage the property, the very things that you begged them to get rid of were NOW IN THE GARBAGE????

As a professional Home Stager and somewhat of a professional organizer (aren't we all)??, isn't it true that less is more?? That being the case, why is it so hard to convince our clients to LET GO of some really old, ugly things in their house? Sentimental value?? Maybe. Expensive items?? Perhaps. Just won't listen to all we have to say?? Most definitely!!

Ahhh, but when they do, Free at last, free at last, thank God almighty, they are free at last!! This may sound funny, but 9 out of 10 times when I de-stage a property I find that clients are more than willing to throw away all the items you have asked them to and more and realize that it was junk to begin with.

Decluttering and organizing is a major component in the home staging process. While my company, ReStyled to Sell Home Staging, NJ respects the clients wishes, I always try to make them see the bigger picture. I am here now, let's pack up, throw away and MOVE ON!!! Yes at times, it works and they listen and LET GO! It's amazing how much bigger their place looks and the look on their faces is priceless. You have now helped them to begin that terrible task of MOVING..Once they begin THEIR WHOLE OUTLOOK CHANGES AND THEY ANTICIPATE THEIR NEW FUTURE IN THEIR NEW HOME 

One of my biggest pet peeves is WALLPAPER!! Let's face it, most of the time it is ugly. While I always suggest taking it down, I have recently come across a new Benjamin Moore paint that actually goes right over wallpaper without having to be primed. The new line is called AURA. It costs about $47.00 gallon, but think of what you save on primer and time. It works great. We just finished a home the other day and it covered in less than 2 coats.

If sellers don't want the aggravation of having to deal with the work, I will ask then, why do you think buyers will want to deal with it??  THEY DON'T....Let the wallpaper go!! Oh, you don't think it will make a difference?? Check this out! So what do you think?? Sellers, Let go, let stagers do their job and MOVE ON!!
