Tool #1: Virtual Staging Sparks Home Sales
From Daily Real Estate News | July 21, 2009 Source: San Francisco Chronicle, Judy Richter (07/19/09)
Real estate practitioners are building on the concept of online property listings and going a step further by digitally enhancing empty homes to make them more visually appealing. When the budget is tight and does not allow a professional stager to physically stage a vacant property, virtual staging is an effective strategy for your listing. For more information, call us today at: 630.991.7123 or e-mail us at: mbillish@stagingworkswonders.com.

Tool #2: Staging Tip of the Month...
 The Art of Curb Appeal The goal here is to create love at first sight and a charming look from the outside so that potential buyers and passers-by are interested in the property before they even walk in the door. Think of the exterior of a restaurant... you won't want to go inside and experience the cuisine if the exterior is unappealing or gives an image of being unkept. The natural train of thought would be "Well if the exterior looks like that, then I certainly don't want to experience the cuisine from there!"
- Power wash, power wash, power wash: fences, driveway & walkways, decks, porches and the exterior of the home.
-
Have the windows professionally cleaned and remove solar screens.
-
Create visual "pop" with lots of color in the landscaping.
-
Remove excessive plant pots and be sure the ones you leave out are filled with beautiful flowers.
-
Weed, trim, hedge and add fresh mulch to all beds. Remove all dead limbs and brush.
-
Add fresh mulch to all the beds.
TIP: Studies have shown that one place buyers stand the longest is the front entrance (waiting for the realtor to open the lock box and the door). Don't pass up this opportunity to really impress them by making sure everything is perfect.

| Tool #3: Design Trends
"Re" is très chic!
At Staging Works Wonders we couldn't be more pleased with the current trends, color palettes and products being offered. An eco-friendly, simplified approach to decorating is part of our culture as professional home stagers and room makeover specialists. Reducing, reusing, recycling, repurposing, redecorating, redesigning and remixing are key elements in design. Currently, one-day room makeovers are among the most popular services many stagers and designers are now offering. We can transform a space in no-time flat, on a small budget. Due to tighter budgets, homeowners are forced to re-use or re-purpose items from their own store rooms, ignored closets and neglected corners. In addition, some of the best finds can be picked up for next to nothing at flea markets, garage sales, thrift stores and craigslist. This is a sure-fire way to keep from having a "canned" look, as if you just went to the nearest furniture retailer and ordered the whole room as seen in the catalog. Ordering an entire room as seen in the catalog has gone the way of the dinette set! Unique, affordable, creative and eco-friendly are just a few of the inherent qualities of being "Re-chic" when designing a room. What's not to love about this trend? | |
