Tips for Choosing the Right Home Stager

With home staging growing in popularity, it's becoming more difficult for homeowners and agents to know exactly what to look for.

The following are a few tips to help homeowners and agents alike in making the selection:

• Do they have a portfolio? An experienced home stager will have ample examples of the homes they've staged. Ensure you review the portfolio and pay particular attention to whether or not the right scale items are being used as well as the right amount of accessories.
• Do they have a web site? Let's face it, having a web site takes an investment on the business owner. A professional stager will not only have a web site, but... they'll have "before" and "after" pictures showcasing the homes they've staged.
• Experienced? Yes; it matters. An experienced home stager will be able to draw from the previous homes they've staged to know what works effectively and what should be avoided.

Creating Warmth Thru Home Staging

When asked why home staging is so effective, it's easy to point to example after example of just how adding color through art, accessories, bedding, etc... can create the warmth.

Here's an example of what I mean:

This is a bedroom void of anything other than the walls.



Now here's the same bedroom after being staged:



Imagine being a prospective buyer... would you find yourself lingering in the room that is vacant? With rich warm colors, buyers become far more engaged in the home.

The Little Green House That SOLD Thru Home Staging

Despite the fact that I never met the owner, although we both live in Atlanta, I was given the distinct pleasure of helping to set her home apart from the others on the market through home staging.

Evidently, our web site, with our extensive portfolio sold her on our skill set. I'm glad. With arrangements left to gain access in the home, and the contract taken care of via email and fax, we were left to do what we do best - Stage A Home.

A mere six weeks later (yes, in this market condition), the home SOLD.

Here's her testimonial:

Thank you so much for the staging you provided me. The selection of furniture you chose and your attention to detail with all the accessories really made the difference. I couldn't be happier that my house sold as quickly as it did in such a difficult market. Your professionalism and customer service during the entire process made the experience easy. I will without a doubt recommend your services to all my family and friends. :)
