Staging Gives You a Powerful Advantage  

An essential part of selling your home is preparing it for sale, yet this is frequently overlooked or not done correctly.  Quite simply, homes that are appealing sell quicker and for more money than homes that don’t have that “wow” factor.  The better a home looks, the easier it is to sell.  We have created the term “balanced design selling principles” which describes the combination of design, home-staging, real estate marketing, and traditional Feng Shui principles* we use to prepare your home for sale.  This technique has proven to be an effective tool to sell a home quickly.

"Statistics report that while most homes take more than 30 days to sell, staged homes average about 13 days on the market and sell for about 6 percent over list price." 

- Fort Worth Star Telegram, June 2004 .

"Staging speeds up sales in a sluggish market, and can bump up prices 2% to 10% in a moderate market. The biggest advantage occurs with luxury homes or in a market with bidding wars over properties, where effective staging can boost prices by 30% to 50%".

-Wall Street Journal, April 30 2003 .

Valerie Torelli, broker/owner of Torelli Realty in Costa Mesa , Calif. , has been staging homes since 1991. "I have five seconds to sell a home C five seconds to make an impact on the buyers when they first walk in the door," said Torelli. "Staging ensures that that impact is a good and lasting one." - Realtor Magazine, April 2003.

The better impression your house makes on buyers, the closer you will be to making a sale.   Properties that are staged with a flair showcase a home are the type buyers get excited about the moment they drive up.
