Staging of Vacant Houses or Apartments (4 to 5 days)
Did you know that...
- Empty rooms appear smaller than they really are?
- Without a frame of reference, it's incredibly difficult to tell the scale and size of a room?
- Vacant houses and apartments appear soulless and no emotional attachment can be felt when the buyer walks into a room?
- Small defects will stand out because the buyer will have nothing else to look at
- Buyers think the owner is "desperate to sell so they don't have to carry two mortgage payments, taxes, utilities, etc."?
Transformation of a vacant house or apartment into a home includes:
- Spending time evaluating what furniture and decorative accessories are needed to fit the style of the home and the market it's in
- Taking careful measurements and photos of each room
- Working with a furniture rental company with whom we have a relationship, we choose furniture, lamps, area rugs and artwork
- Renting to you or purchasing for you additional accessories such as bedding, towels, decorative items and some artwork
- If necessary, implementing and/or arranging for enhancements and repairs such as painting, plumbing and lighting fixtures, and landscaping
- Waiting for the furniture delivery and properly placing the furniture
- Placing all of the accessories and hanging the artwork
- In some cases, supervising the removal of the rental furniture when the house is sold
- Taking photos and providing you with a CD of photos for your or your agent's marketing efforts
Quick Staging for Photo Shoots of Houses or Apartments
- Because over 80% of buyers start their search online, our goal is to make the rooms more attractive in photographs and videos
- We edit and/or rearrange the homeowner’s furniture and accessories or will add some of our own attractive accessories
Interior Redesign
Interior redesign involves many of the same techniques as home staging such as using what furniture and accessories the owner has, however it focuses on improving the home for the homeowner, rather than the buyer, with an eye toward future resale value.
