- 07/21/11 04:09 AM
Here at Stage A Star, we work with lots of Cincinnati Investors. We stage at all price points for our Investor clients and those properties have been selling fast! I love seeing the transformation of these investment homes and being a part of their success. I wanted to share with you a particular home of one of our very talented Investors.

We stage investment properties anywhere from $60K and up so this one was DEF. a price point that needed to sell quickly. It was also a tougher price range in … (9 comments)
I have a confession to make...I've got a thing about staging Laundry Rooms. The Kitchen may be the "heart of the home" but many hours are spent each week in the laundry room. And THAT makes this room a very important space to feature when selling your home.Many times when I am consulting with homeowners and we get close to the laundry area, they'll ask if I want to see it because after all, it's only the laundry room. In their minds, it's that space that's a catch-all for dirty clothes, shoes, coats, 5 cases of water bottles, … (46 comments)

home stager cincinnati: Summertime Curb Appeal Tips That Sing "WELCOME HOME!"
- 06/26/09 07:06 AM
Summer is a wonderful time to maximize the Curb Appeal of your house. We know all the standard Curb Appeal Do's such as water the lawn, trim the bushes, power wash, etc. I see a lot of houses on the market that have followed all the tips and their homes look, how shall I say..."very well groomed " That's a great thing...its better than weeds in the landscaping and a dirty front door, however, sometimes it just looks well...standard and kinda boring. Yard is green and mowed (check!), bushes trimmed (check!), 2 flower pots on either side of the front … (11 comments)
home stager cincinnati: A Realtor's Perspective on Staging: A Staging Success Story
- 06/25/09 01:42 AM
The part of my job I love the most is the opportunity to work with wonderful, savvy real estate professionals that really understand marketing their listings to get them sold quickly and retain as much of the equity in their client's house. They use powerful marketing tools such as staging and professional photography to achieve that goal. I wanted to share this powerful testimonial from Jennifer Cox of The RealCincyGroup as she shares her perspective on using staging to help sell her listings.
"I was introduced to the concept of staging several years ago, just as the market was starting to slow, and … (6 comments)

Selling your house can be challenging when you have pets and I'm going to focus today on your CAT. Your furry friend and family member. I've got three myself so I understand and can empathize with my selling clients when it comes to this subject. I got plenty of inspiration to share some kitty tips when selling from my own experience over the weekend. I decided to move my cat's litter box from the basement to our first floor mudroom. See, my cats are senior citizens now and since I'm not planning to move into a ranch style home with … (34 comments)

I wrote last week about how distracting personal photos can be when it comes to selling your home: Old School Thinking: Personal Photos do NOT Make Your Home Feel More Like HOME While You Are Selling" I'm in a lot of homes as I consult with Sellers and I do see many beautiful and artfully displayed photos on the wall. Wall Words are very popular right now as well as frames with meaningful sayings that celebrate the family displayed and what is important to them. I see gorgeous black and white photography of families and children. And let's … (29 comments)
home stager cincinnati: Old School Thinking: Personal Photos Do NOT Make Your House Feel More Like "HOME" While You Are Selling.
- 01/26/09 11:37 PM
Thanks to HGTV and many other media articles on home staging, Sellers are starting to understand the importance of removing their personal photos as part of the overall preparing their home for the real estate market. However, I've still noticed an awful lot of personal photos in our MLS when I check out the local listings. So what gives?Old School Thinking: Often it is very difficult for Realtors to tell their Sellers that the personal photos have got to go. Sellers can be very attached and proud of their grand displays of their kids and extended families. On the other hand, one of the old school thinking I … (18 comments)

home stager cincinnati: My Favorite 2008 Transformations...I couldn't pick just one!
- 12/31/08 04:58 AM
I just couldn't let 2008 slip away without showing my favorite 2008 transformations. It was too hard to pick just one so I'm going to show you several of my favorites.First up is the first vacant staging Stage a Star did of 2008. It was an adorable starter home on the west side of Cincinnati. The Realtor had done a little staging herself but after being on the market for close to a year, she was smart enough to bring in the big guns (that would be us, Stage a Star...smile) to stage it so it would appeal to that particular … (11 comments)

Whew! What a week! Stage a Star has been very busy as we've staged 3 vacant houses this week and still one to go. We also De-Staged 2 properties & a few Consultations as well. If someone had told me I'd be this busy the week before Christmas, I would have laughed and said "No Way!" But in this business, I've found that you just never know your schedule and how busy you'll be from one week to the next. I am grateful for all the business we've received this year. I still have Christmas shopping to do, a family Christmas this weekend & a huge … (6 comments)

- 09/09/08 11:16 AM
I wrote a blog awhile back "Staging Martha Stewart Style" and this past weekend Stage a Star had the opportunity to do just that! This was a vacant property and in the master bath was open shelving....a prime candidate for Martha Stewart stylin'!! When I walked into the bathroom during the first initial visit and spotted those shelves, I was excited! (I secretly couldn't WAIT to get my staging hands on that space!)
The Realtor had told me that it was awkward without any doors but the homeowner/builder designed it that way because he visualized the open shelving as … (19 comments)
