"Welcome Potential Home Buyer's" This home is ready to sell!

Buyer's are looking for "move in ready" homes. Don't be tempted to list your home without staging it, even if you have painted fresh decorator colors, replaced your flooring, cleaned it sparkling shiny.  Staging is the GrandFinale. It is the key to success. Don't "try to sell for a few weeks and see if you can do without staging".

You cannot afford not to stage! The proof is in these photos:

This homeseller was wise and staged before listing his property. He interviewed several Realtors and insisted on professionally staging his home. Home Staging Surveys show over and over staged homes sell faster.

It is like entering a Beauty Contest!

Presenting a home is similar to entering a Beauty Contest. You want to look your very best. Fresh, sparkling, clean, detailed, polished, new, shiny, perfect, updated, current, trendy....and you must be prepared.

Hiring a professional prepares you for your big day! Cathy Lee, owner of C.L. Design Services, prepared this home in one week while the home owner was interviewing for his new job position on the Easy Coast. 

Wallpaper removal, fresh paint, new carpeting, home detailing, power washing, staging and we are ready for a Beauty Contest! 

 

 

Happy Selling!  Cathy Lee

Tips to Inflate a Small Space

In my staging business, I believe the key to increasing the size of any small area is to maximize the function of the room while minimizing the clutter.

Clutter is a reflection of chaos in ones life. If you are preparing your home for sale, it eats equity! Discard, organize, donate and you will create an efficient feeling throughout the room.

A simple decor works best. Light fabrics, absent of print or pattern will in enlarge the area.  When selecting furniture, try to choose pieces that are taller or contain hidden storage spots.

The final way to inflate your space and add appeal to every room is with light.  Three sources of light is ideal when possible.
