How $150 Can Sell Your Listing!
 
Staging an occupied home is no longer a luxury - it's a requirement. 
 
How to do it affordably?
Spend $150. 
 
Hire Set The Stage for our "One Hour Stage."  We'll deliver a consultation that helps sellers clearly see what they need to do to properly market their home.  They get a complete plan, and a set of to-do's.   
 
More importantly - they're on board.
 
After that, POLISH IT UP.
 
Sellers pay only $750, and we come back to stage and style the home from top to bottom.  A killer deal that hugely enhances the chance of a quick sale with strong offers.
 
This program is SO EFFECTIVE that many agents won't bring on a listing without it.

Greetings!

A big part of smart staging is problem solving. Creating a pleasant space is only half the job.  Knowing how to manage a property's shortcomings and convert them into assets - that's the real talent.
 
Problem: Strong Color, Small Space
Solution: Classic Black & White neutralizes the wall color
               and creates a cozy retreat
  
Guest Room Before Guest Room After
  Guest Room BEFORE                  Guest Room AFTER
 
Problem: Dated woodstove and brick facade and hearth
Solution: Orange/rust accessories and art tie in the color palette
               and reduce the impact of the stove and brick in the room
 
    Woodstove LR After 
 
Smart Staging overcomes shortcomings and creates assets - all
without painting or renovation.
