Move your home to the front of the line and get it SOLD! You only get one chance to make a great first impression! Statistics show that staged homes are on the market for less time and sell for more money. Buyers are more willing to look at homes that have been staged first over homes that have not.

In a 2003 Home Gain Survey of over 2000 Realtors, sellers who spent up to $1000 to Stage theirhome recovered almost 200% of the cost in the sale of their home. Staging can be the secret to selling your home quickly. Your house will attract more qualified and serious buyers if it is already in staged condition when you begin to show it.

Statistics show that only 10% of buyers can actually visualize the potential of a home and see past someone else’s belongings or style. The idea of staging is to stage the furnishings and accessories to be a back drop, and not a focal point.

Once you put your home on the market, it is no longer your home; it becomes a commodity and can be very difficult for homeowners to emotionally detach themselves nor can they objectively view their own home.

Art of ReDesigning specializes in staging owner occupied properties. We tour your home with “buyers eyes” and make suggestions and recommendations that often may be difficult to hear, but are important if you want to get your home sold faster. We will arrange your furnishings and accessories in unique ways to maximize your homes potential, create balance, color and emotional connection points in every room. We asses the property and find features in the home that buyers will love and maximize its potential to stand out and create the “WOW” factor.

Even in today’s economy with a lot of home inventory it is still to your advantage and very important to have the home looking its best and staged before taking any photos for MLS listing or fliers. Potential buyers first look at properties online. Pictures speak a thousand words. If the photos of the home are not visually appealing, potential buyers most likely won’t give it a second look and won’t even come preview the property.

With Art of ReDesigning Staging services, we will enhance and highlight your homes best features! Buyers tend to fall in love with homes that they can quickly envision themselves living in. This is accomplished by “editing” or “depersonalizing” rooms as well as re-arranging furniture and accessories to optimize space and showcase architectural beauty within your home.

We also cover the five key components preparing your home for sale. The five C’s:

• Curb Appeal
• Cleanliness
• Clutter
• Coordination of Furniture and Accessories
• Color

Art of ReDesigning Real Estate Staging offers maximum style & color impact as well as enhanced first impressions to your potential buyers. Homeowners often mistake “Decorating” for “Staging” They are completely two different processes and deliver two completely different messages.

Real Estate agents love homes that are staged. Your property will be at the top of their list with a “must see” and “must have” list and they will want to show your home and advertise it more.

Hiring a professional Home Stager, like Art of ReDesigning is a small investment and will always cost less that your first price reduction.

Here are a just few Staging Tips to help get you started:

Lighten and Brighten

• Keep all windows clean inside and out
• Keep drapes and blinds open to bring in as much light as possible
• Make sure all outdoor and indoor lighting works
• Clean all blinds and window treatments
• Make sure all windows and doors open and close easily

Clean and De-Clutter

• Organize or clear out items in closets you are not using to create space
• Clean carpets to eliminate odors and stains
• Hire a professional to thoroughly clean the interior of your home
• Remove all personal possessions
• Make sure front porch is clear of debris and cobwebs

1. STAGING EVALUATION/REPORT:
This “Do it Yourself” or “Honey Do List” is a custom tailored report for the home-seller with recommended tasks to complete. Art of ReDesigning will walk through your home with you and make recommendations on “de-cluttering” and “editing” to help your home look more appealing to buyers. We will also make suggestions on how to make your rooms appear more spacious. Our checklist begins with your homes “curb appeal,” and continues inside—room by room, closet by closet—outside, to your backyard. As we discuss ideas and make recommendations together, we will follow up with a simple step by step report to include everything we discussed and mail it directly to you. Staging report prices range depending upon the square footage of the home. Please call for a quote.

2. REARRANGE:
You only get one chance to make a great first impression, and it starts with MLS or marketing fliers of your property on the internet. It’s difficult for sellers to objectively view their own home to get it in saleable condition. That is why it is beneficial and valuable to hire a professional Stager, just like you have hired a professional Real Estate Agent to sell your home.

Our team will edit and rearrange your furnishings and accessories for you that ultimately can alleviate the stress and the emotional attachment you feel about moving and its process. This service will enhance your home’s best features, and optimize space which will appeal to buyer’s eyes and make the best possible first impression. We will carry out the tasks necessary to update your home down to the smallest detail following staging guidelines that have been proven to work.

We can work with any budget and address areas in the home that are a priority from the home’s entryway all the way to the backyard.

3. ENHANCEMENT:
Most homes have too much personality for selling. The idea of staging is to de-personalize. Sometimes homes need a touch of personality, color or warmth to be effective. This service includes all of the above, plus some added decorative props, and/or furniture to create the desired effect. You can rent items for a small monthly fee using Art of ReDesignings own inventory of silk plants and accessories.

4. FURNISH:
Art of ReDesigning works closely with four different furniture rental companies and we will completely facilitate and coordinate the entire process of furnishing your vacant home. We shop and pick out the furnishings that:

A. meet with the integrity of the home and
B. are updated with current pieces that are appealing to the general population.

We also own hundreds of accessories, silks, throw pillows, trays and artwork to complete the look. We will meet the furniture rental delivery truck and arrange the furniture to give your home that “model home look” that will give the best possible first impression to sell your home faster.
