HOME STAGING & REDESIGN
The Artistic Advantage also offers Home Staging and ReDesign services.  

Staging a home for sale is not a new concept, but it is a practice that has gained steam with our more challenging real estate market.  I see many home sellers confuse staging with decorating and consequently resisting the process and the recommendations of the staging professional.

But the reality is that the moment you commit to marketing your home for sale, you need to commit to transforming your home into a place that potential buyers can easily picture as their home. This means that you need to be prepared to emotionally detach.

Let your home speak to buyers.

  • The Artistic Advantage Home Staging Service provides many services from home staging consultations, rearranging your furnishings, providing furniture and accessories for a vacant home, and even shopping services. 
  • The Artistic Advantage Home Staging Service will provide advice to maximize your homes selling potential.
  • Sue Kauffman is a professional and certified home stager, having received her training and certification through the nationally known Home Staging Resources school.

The Artistic Advantage will:
  1. Turn negative feedback regarding your listed home into positive, 'feel-at-home' buyer desire.
  2. Advise you on minimizing clutter --- what to keep and what to get rid of.
  3. Help with advice on lighting, and where it is best needed.
  4. Show you where to hang artwork and mirrors.
  5. Accessorize to compliment your house.
  6. Advise on paint color choices.
  7. Accentuate the positive features of your home.
  8. Make your home feel warm and inviting.
  9. Provide direction on the layout of unconventional or unusual floor plans.
  10. Dress  your home to show like a model home.
  11. "Walk and Talk" room-by-room -- showing you how to view your home through a 'buyer's' eyes.
  12. Point out problem areas that need to be addressed and how to divert attention away from them.
  13. Show how to have a cohesive look that will appeal to buyers.
  14. Provide curb appeal advice.
  15. Shop for items to finish the look of your home.
  16. And so much more!

We redesign homes for people who want to have a designer home with a one day turn around time.  Using your own furnishings and accessories, we redesign your home one room at a time, moving furniture here and there in ways you never expected.

Farewell Summer
Beach scene I'm always sad to see summer leave, and although the early days of autumn are delightful, for me, the end of summer means the cold winter is approaching too quickly.

But in Kapp and Linda Brown's (Mt. Joy, PA) bathroom, it's always summer. 

This tropical moment was brought to you by the hands of my mother, Mim Kauffman and me.  We painted this one day while Linda and Kapp were at work.  (Yes, that's them out there...!)

Take a closer look, and you'll discover why so many businesses and homeowners have chosen The Artistic Advantage.

You'll never have second thoughts!  Call today!
