Testimonial

"My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Jessica Dolan. Jessica is simply an excellent staging consultant . She has both the expertise and the kindness to help sell a house. She simply transformed our home and made it so attractive to prospective buyers. As a matter of fact, the very first person who walked into the house offered to buy it. We were particularly thrilled about that what beyond what we expected. In fact, the buyer took his time to compliment us for keeping the house very well. The compliment rightfully belongs to Jessica. Her advice is not only very valuable but also cost effective. It is amazing how little things change the appearance and feel of a home. Jessica knows that very well. I have learned a lot from her. At the most basic level, she is a terrific person work with- very polite, collegial and highly professional. I recommend Jessica to whoever wants to sell a house quickly!"

 

Sincerely,

Jessica's Top 5 Staging Tips

It can be particularily overwhelming for sellers to prepare a house for sale.  There are so many things that can be done to improve the way a house shows, but many are confused on where to start. 
 
Start with my top 5 staging tips:
 
1.  Curb Appeal.  Mow, rake, shovel the yard.  Clean, paint, repair the home's exterior.  Weed, mulch, trim flower beds.  Update light fixtures, mailboxes and house numbers.
 
2.  Entrance Appeal.  Make sure the first impressions upon walking through the door are a good one.  No, make that a great one. Place a new 'Welcome' mat at the door and maybe a nice wreath.  The entrance of the home should consist of good smells, good lighting, and absolutely no clutter.
 
3.  De-Clutter.  There are two ways around it.  If a house is cluttered buyers will focus on the stuff instead of the house.  By de-cluttering you give the buyer the ability to visualize their items in the home. 
 
4.   De-Personalize.  Pack up the family photos, kids artwork, wedding photos, dog toys, hunting gear and anything else that gives an indication as to who lives in the house.
 
5.  Post Phenomenal Photos.  Wow buyers from the very first viewing of the home.  DO NOT post photos done BEFORE staging.  If staging is done after the listing, make sure to update the photos immediately.  Make sure lights are on, blinds are open and nothing is out of place.  Photos should be in focus and taken from an angle that best represents a space.
 
Please feel free to forward this email to all your sellers.  You'll be glad you did!
