STAGE YOUR HOME FOR BEST RESULTS
Why does Towne Realty Group suggest that you
stage your home?
Staging is the art of preparing a residence to achieve the best
possible return on your investment by giving it a makeover and
freshening the appearance, inside and out. Unless your home is a
candidate for a tear down, it is crucial to take the time and money
to make it sparkle and shine against the competition. When the
Realtors and the buyers visit your property, you only have one
chance to make a good first impression. If you want to sell your
home quickly and for the best price possible, the work that you do
in advance, is sure to pay off.
In our initial consultation, we identify the positive and negative
aspects of your home and make a punch list of what you need to
address in the order of importance. Within the budget you set, we
can assist you in prioritizing the most crucial areas of
improvement. Not only can we help you emphasize the optimal use of
space through furniture arrangement and accessorizing, we can also
offer names of contractors to get the various jobs done.
Staging goes beyond the normal window washing, carpet cleaning,
de-cluttering and painting…our goal is to create an inviting
ambiance that makes the buyers want to write an offer and move right
in. When deciding on furniture placement, less can be more, and
sometimes a house needs to be emptied to create the illusion of more
space. The cost of home staging varies, but in most cases, the money
is well spent and often our clients claim that they wished they had
done it sooner because their home never looked better!
A
Living Room Example
BEFORE
The living room has
the couch wedged in the corner with a large red rug
and not much to make you smile. |
AFTER
The couch is moved on
an angle with new pillows, a lighter rug and two
complimentary chairs. This space is more Formal, yet
fun. |

A Bedroom Example
BEFORE
The master bedroom has old wallpaper, too much
furniture jammed into this space and dreary bedding.
HELP! |
AFTER
Freshly painted with a
new bed spread and new pillows, new draperies, &
less furniture, lets the floors shine through.
Now the space is so appealing. |
