HOME STAGING
The investment in Staging is always less than your first price reduction. Barb Schwarz
STAGING CONSULTATION
We meet at your home. We discuss your needs in terms of getting your home “market-ready” for Top Dollar Return. Whether you are planning to use a Realtor or selling on your own, we can make an enormous impact on the way your home is presented to the buying public. Using a trained design eye & years of expertise, we can skillfully assess all the areas which need revamping, restyling, and repair for a profitable home sale.
After the Consultation, you will have all the tools you need to get your home ready for market; you keep our comprehensive PreStage Review of detailed recommendations.
We're confident you will be amazed at how quickly we can see what needs to be changed to increase your home’s resale value and catch a buyer's eye. The result? Better online listing photos, which lead to more home visits and offers made in the shortest period of time.

VACANT HOME STAGING
For Sellers and Investors
Surprisingly, only 10% of buyers have the capacity to see beyond an empty space, so the need to stage a vacant home is even more critical than for a furnished one. Vacant homes often sit on the market longer, without a frame of reference for room purpose, furniture & accessories. They also may leave potential buyers with the impression that the sellers are desperate to sell, resulting in an offer way below the asking price. Most buyers need to see how rooms are purposed, and experience how rooms make them feel.
We curate on-trend Home Furnishings and Accessories that transform your vacant space into an inviting and desirable potential home. It’s all about ‘Feeling Home” when a potential buyer walks through the door.

When the home is sold and escrow is almost complete, we meet with the movers and de-stage the home.
