Staging your home to sell and Redesigning your spaces for living are two very different animals. Read below to learn more and to decide which service best fits your needs.
HOME STAGING:
Home Staging is the buzzword heard on HGTV , in real estate offices, and on the mouths of sellers across the nation. Why? Home Staging is an integral step, the first step, in the home selling process. If you were going to interview for a job, wouldn't you dress for success? Of course. You're dressing to sell yourself! The clothes don't change your resume or your qualifications or who you are. The clothes change the perception of who you are and what you have to offer. Younger, smarter, worthy of a bigger paycheck? Staging a home to present to the market of potential buyers follows the same principle as dressing for a job interview…dressing the home for sale.You can't change your home's location, the floor plan, or the date it was built. But staging your home changes the perception of the home and what it has to offer. Updated, more space, worthy of a higher offer!
Home staging has become a recognized term synonymous with home selling! It’s the first call that a successful realtor makes after taking a property listing. It’s research-proven, results-oriented, and usually accomplished in ONE DAY!
Staging a property for sale is the art of objectivity. Only a professionally trained home staging professional can be objective about your home’s selling potential. LewisStyle® staging professionals don’t simply make suggestions, we make changes. We don’t simply leave you with a “to-do” list, we leave your property ready to sell. Don’t market your home, your biggest investment, before calling in a LewisStyle®staging professional.
Staging a house is all about placement…placement of the furniture, artwork, accessories, and lighting from the front door to the back door and everything in between. Real Estate Staging is the process of visually preparing a property for the market. Our goal is to broaden the appeal of the property to the greatest number of potential buyers. A properly staged home encourages buyers to linger and focus on the home, noticing the great architectural features of the home. The contents of the home, the existing furnishings, should not be the focus and should take a back seat when selling.
Goals of Staging:
To de-personalize the home allowing potential buyers to picture themselves living in the home
To arrange traffic flow for easy viewing of the home
To visually highlight the positive features
To optimize layout and room size
To broaden the appeal of the property
Effective staging is all about finding the right person for the job …a trained, confident, committed LewisStyle® staging professional is always the right person for the job!
INTERIOR REDESIGN:
Interior Redesign is the art of using what you have to achieve a cohesive look and feel in a home. A LewisStyle®Redesign professional is trained to see the potential of the room using your existing furniture, lighting, artwork, and accessories. The LewisStyle®Interior Redesign and decorating philosophy understands that relocating to a different home doesn’t mean that your existing furniture has to be thrown out to achieve a beautiful look and feel.
Why buy all new furniture from an interior designer if you don’t have to? Usually, making a new purchase isn’t necessary at all. More often than not, you already own everything that you need to decorate and redesign your spaces. After a successful LewisStyle®interior Redesign, you’ll find that all of your furniture does work in the space…you simply needed a trained , objective eye to get your furniture placed correctly.
