Remember—the investment in home staging is always less than your first price reduction!

HOME STAGING WITH RE:STYLE DOES HELP SELL A HOUSE FAST!

“Real estate broker Joy Valentine published a study showing professionally ‘staged’ homes sold in 13.9 days, half the usual time on the market—and went for 6.3% over list price, or four times the average markup (1.6%) on unstaged homes.”

 The RE:STYLE “Do-It-Yourself Staging” Consultation

Looking for expert advice, but plan to do some or all of the home staging techniques on your own? Then you’re looking for RE:STYLE’s DIY Staging Consultation. This is the “mini” option, where you take the notes while a RE:STYLE Accredited Staging Professional tours your house with you. We point out anything that may keep buyers from purchasing your home, or that may give them an excuse to “bargain down” the price, and give you useful tips on getting your home ready to sell.

This consultation usually takes two hours. We show you photos of RE:STYLE staged houses, and give you plenty of suggestions on how to use home staging techniques to do much of the staging yourself. If you would like RE:STYLE to come back and refine what you have done, spending an hour or two doing hands-on touch-ups, that can be included as well.

Many Realtors choose this option to “gift” to their clients. A version of this service, called the Walk-through Consultation, is also available for vacant houses, and is part of the service when estimating the investment needed to stage a vacant properly.

RE:STYLE will stage your whole house, or selected rooms only—your choice.

“Though some homeowners may be hesitant to spend the money to make changes, repairs and improvements shortly before selling a home they have lived in for years…it is money well spent.”
