home staging: Middleton WI Home Staging - Remove Those Rose Colored Glasses - 08/19/11 10:14 AM
     It’s easy for home sellers to be unable to see the impact that their home decorating style may have on potential buyers. Home sellers often are wearing  rose colored glasses when they assume home buyers will fall in love with their decorating style.  And absent a home staging consultation, many home sellers do not even recognize their personal fingerprint throughout a home.   
Such was the story with a Middleton WI (the good neighbor city) home that had an unsuccessful Spring selling season and now opted for an home staging consultation.  At my initial home staging consultations I often show pictures … (6 comments)

home staging: Are you Playing the Selling a Home Blame Game? - 08/13/11 08:59 AM
      Today there’s a fair amount of blame going around about why a home is not selling.  Too many homes competing for the buyer’s attention, short sales, foreclosures, poor job outlook, home loan lending requirements and record low prices for brand new homes just to name a few.  These all garner points in the Home Selling Blame Game and are beyond a home seller’s ability to control.  But home sellers can control the points they accumulate in the Home Selling Blame Game by using all available resources, including home staging, when selling a home. 
So how does the Home Selling … (9 comments)

home staging: Defining The Living Space - Waunakee WI Home Staging - 07/31/11 03:25 AM
With so many homes on the market today, home sellers need to make the most of defining their living space on the MLS for potential buyers.  As buyers rapidly click through through the MLS photos or tour the home they have to visualize the use of the living space beyond the current use of the buyers.  For home sellers there is an understandable struggle for them to see beyond their own perception of how the home's living space can be used.  Such was the case with in working with a Waunakee WI home staging project.    For this Waunakee WI home staging … (8 comments)

Home Stager Services and Madison, WI’s Dog Days of Summer
 
 
Nothing brings a bigger smile to my face than seeing my little Benny dog enjoying the fruits of my labor -- my outdoor pool.  Home stager labor fees vary from state to state; region to region but much of the work of any home stager is done before the actual staging day.  

It's often these tasks and the physical labor of the business of a home stager that is overlooked when clients are considering making the investment to contract the services of a professional home stager.  When … (12 comments)

Home Staging Madison Area 
 
The Monroe Street area of Madison, Wisconsin offers many quaint bungalows and is a location sought after by buyers seeking easy access to shops, golf, the Arboretum, Zoo and the University.   Many of these Madison area kitchens are typical eat-ins that are rich in character but are poor in offering home buyers modern updates and space.  And so, they sit simmering on the market and are ripe for home staging. By including home staging in the mix when selling these homes, seller's can dish up a quicker sale when listing their homes.
