Let’s Talk About Our Process and “Plan”

Let me tell you how I work…

/ First, I would like to sit down and discuss your home, expectations and goals. Afterwards we can talk about how we “Stage for Optimum Results” using our 8-step,“FEEL HOME”staging process. We will work with your home’s needs, buyer demographic and market in order to transform each room for a faster, more profitable sale.
/ We will start with a general walk-through of your home in order to get a sense of the whole space. We will note the number of rooms and the availability of furniture and accessories. We will be approaching each room as a buyer would, gathering first impressions, and noticing details. I will be taking notes of each room to assist me in my future report writing, while you give me your “first impressions” using your “Buyer’s Eyes” and a question worksheet.
/ I will try to work with what you have but in some cases I may recommend purchases or rentals to complete the look. I offer a shopping service to assist you with this and will add this to the proposal service recommendation if we feel it’s necessary.
/ I love to share my techniques and talent, so if time permits, I will try to do a quick staging of one of your rooms. This will show you what a few accessories and home staging tricks can do to transform a space and make it appealing to buyers.
/ Once we have walked through your home I will be able to prepare a proposal based upon our conversation, your home’s needs, your budget, and your time constraints.
/ When we decide on a service that will fit you and your home’s needs, I will make a more thorough examination of the home. During this time, I will be taking lots of photos, possibly giving you packing homework, and working off of a detailed Action Plan in order to make the most efficient use of our future staging days and your budget.
/ I may be opening your built-in cabinets and closets for resources to help us create “emotional connections” and to give suggestions for de-cluttering, if needed.

Here’s how I suggest we get the most from your work…

/ Please don’t feel self conscious about each room. We are putting on our most critical buyer’s eyes so we can market your most valuable commodity to it’s fullest potential. This will allow you to make more money and sell your house faster.
/ Please keep an open mind and think in terms of future revenue for today’s hard work. A staged home is not a lived-in home so we can discuss what would be “ideal” and what is “practical” given your current living situation. You set the boundaries.
/ I suggest taking notes as we go through your home on a Staging Day, relaxing and enjoying this process as much as possible. Just think about how beautiful, inviting, and magical your home will become…and how much more profit you stand to gain!
