real estate staging: Does Virtual Staging get you a Second Date?
- 09/22/10 10:17 AM
As a home stager for over 15 years, I have seen the industry grow. I have witnessed the hefty return on investment that staging brings to a homeowner and the transformations that ultimately sell the property. I understand the psychology of environment and the effects that it has on a potential buyer. Walking into a staged home creates the desire to buy… staging homes sell.
Virtual home staging is the latest trend and has certain advantages. By using computer technology to place furniture and accessories into listing photos that will be posted online definitely curbs the staging budget in these … (2 comments)

real estate staging: Home Staging Sanity
- 03/22/09 01:25 PM

Each homeowner had gone through at least 2-3 real estate agents and were convinced that the failure of selling their home was due to the incompetency of the last agent. The newly enlisted agents called me for my advice because these properties were showing horribly and the homeowners resisted the idea of staging and … (0 comments)

Professional home stagers are able to evoke these feelings and create these desires through color, lighting, arrangement, and design. Today’s seller … (1 comments)

My Home Staging training began in the “Christmas windows” of Jordan Marsh.In the early ‘90’s I began my visual merchandising career in down town Boston at Jordan Marsh Co. As I “fluffed” the Christmas trees, applied the specified amount of bulbs, dressed the sulky mannequin in the finest attire, and fussed over the mile high bed donning Ralph Lauren linens, I had no idea that this would be my initial training in home staging (and how could I know…there was no such thing as home staging back then).The objective of a visual merchandiser, is to create an irresistible presentation of the … (2 comments)
