More Than Vacant Properties
Staging a vacant home is an obvious choice, but there are many applications for home staging beyond filling empty space. Staging can be used for investment properties that are being rented either as an Airbnb or other short-term rental service. Staging takes outdated furniture or partially furnished properties and reimagines them as turn-key rentals. By staging a complete, upscale look with furnishings and styling, it takes the guesswork out of preparing your home for tenants.

Staging is also an opportunity for homeowners to fall in love with their home all over again. Like re-décor, homeowners can turn to Staged to elevate their furnishings and layout to make their spaces more appealing and functional. Often people love their pieces, but they don’t know how to make it all come together. With a few accessories, some updated pieces, artwork, and styling, we can create a space that brings new life to your existing furnishings.

Staging for Sale
By considering the ideal potential buyer for a property and creating a look that would attract those potential buyers, agents and sellers can better position their properties for sale. Whether it means staging the entire property or just select areas, we can help fill in the design gaps. Often, it’s the outdoor spaces that need a refresh or only the bedrooms; staging is not an all-or-nothing process and takes into account the needs and goals of property owners and their agents.

Staging is an effective way for clients to visualize themselves in a home and continue the feeling of attachment they have for a property when they tour. While digital staging is an option that some agents and sellers are using, it’s limited to a phone or computer screen. They may fall in love with the online images, but those feelings are often left at the door when they walk into an empty house with bare walls.

I don’t approach styling homes as a one-time transaction. Working as a team with my agents and builders, we make sure to stage the home in such a beautiful way that aids in selling the property. We are creating demand for these homes that builds a long-term relationship with the realtors and builders we work with. We are part of the team that is motivated to sell or lease these stunning properties.
