"After sitting down with our realtor in June, we thought we were in an impossible situation...we were in a terrible buyer's market at the worst time of the year and on top of that had a very short window to sell our home. Trish and her team came in and literally rescued us...they removed our clutter and 'created' a beautiful home. Three weeks later, we had a solid contract on our home, and by early August we had relocated. Simply, Staged Interior performed a miracle!! Our family can't thank them enough!"

1. Some exterior changes that have the greatest impact include trimming back large bushes, edging flower beds, and adding new, dark mulch. Cleanliness is vital, so power-washing is an inexpensive way to show off the house. The front exterior picture is the first impression showcased on internet sites, so this photo should really pop. We have a saying in staging industry which says, "if you can't see it, you can't sell it."


2. Painting both inside and out is within the reach of most budgets, and almost every house needs either a touch-up or a complete color re-do. Professional Stagers are usually very skilled color consultants and are called on for their expertise even when the homeowner doesn't plan to stage.


3. Most important, as was mentioned earlier, is eliminating clutter by reducing the number of furniture pieces. This creates a feeling of space and orderliness. Everyone wants to live that way, even if they don't!


4. Cleanliness is next to orderliness in the world of staging, and we usually ask the sellers to have the house thoroughly cleaned both before we stage and on a regular basis during the listing period.


5. One very inexpensive way to upgrade the kitchen is to put in new cabinet hardware in a nickel or bronze finish. This will have an immediate polished effect on the look of the kitchen.


6. Bringing in natural elements, even if it's a branch from the yard, is another enhancement sellers can execute. It's free and can add warmth, texture, and color.
