Staging to Sell

You only have a few seconds to make a first impression . . . 85% of homes are viewed on the internet before a buyer considers visiting the actual property, making it imperative to stand out from the competition.

Staging to Sell involves neutralizing, depersonalizing, and de-cluttering to focus on the home’s assets, so that the greatest number of buyers can envision themselves living there.   Staging to Sell is NOT decorating. It IS a powerful marketing tool.

“In order for a property to sell quickly and for top dollar, an environment of neutrality 

should be the focus. Creating a space that is harmonious and spacious is the objective.”

- Wisconsin RE Magazine, Marcus A. Wally, August 2007

Staging to Sell allows you to get the most money for your home in the shortest amount of time!  Staged houses sell for 7% more and 80% faster than non-staged houses.  The investment in staging is far less than a price reduction on the sales price of your house, or the additional cost of keeping your house on the market. 

At Design Smart Home Staging & Redesign, we work within your budget and parameters to get the greatest return on your Staging investment. We Stage® occupied and vacant homes and can do as little or as much as you like.

Staging to Live

Does your house feel like a home?  Does your home need a facelift in one or more rooms without the excessive cost of buying all new furniture and accessories?  Have you moved to a new home and don’t know where to place your furniture and accessories?  Staging to Live is also known as Redesign or “Use what you have” design.  By organizing and changing the spatial layout of your existing furniture and accessories, we can create a completely new feel to a single room or multiple rooms in your home.

Color Consultation

Is your home filled with stark white walls, or are you tired of the colors in one or more rooms in your home?  Do you love the idea of color, but don't know where to begin? Color Consultations help you to take the guesswork out of which colors would go best in your home.  You will know exactly what colors to use where in a given room, including wall color, window treatments, furniture, pillows, hardware, lighting, art, and accessories.   Treat yourself to an updated color palette to revitalize your home.
