Take something great and make it Greater!  

The home stagers at Design To Market followed our formula for success in working with the owner of this great Cincinnati home.  With a full page of "to-do" items and a willingness to work hard this seller followed the recipe and had his home under contract in under 10 days.  The 3 part strategy focused on the following:

  1. The homeowner decluttered and cleaned the home from top to bottom
  2. The Design To Market stagers added the decorative touches with artwork and accessories that gave this great home a finished look that would grab prospective buyers.
  3. The professional photographer engaged by Design To Market took great listing photos that made this a must see on the listing websites.

Jo, Huge difference.  Staged houses will always sell faster because it's better than a price reduction.

I think the transformation of the breakfast nook was most impressive.  It just isn't a space that most older homes in this neighborhood offer and I think it offered a great competitive edge.

how do you stage your fixers? I walked into a house yesterday and the cabinets were jerked out leaving gapping holes in the wall. I guess that software can replace the cabinets for the photos but the agent who sells these type homes needs to be a master at selling what it might look like, the photos would be a great tool for that. Truly amazing what you do.
