Home staging / interior Design 

Only stage the most important rooms. Every house will be different in terms of selling features, so take some time to identify which areas should be highlighted and others that can remain empty. Usually, the staged rooms include the living room, kitchen, dining room, and primary bedroom, and the rooms most often left alone are the basements, attics, and spare bedrooms. However, if you see potential in a room or space that should be highlighted, consult with your staging professional on the best course of action.

Try to use your existing furniture and accessories as much as possible. You will want to declutter and remove any excess belongings, but you can use some of your current furniture and décor to stage your home. However, make sure not to use personal items like family portraits and knick-knacks. With a bit of rearranging and freshening, you can make your home look welcoming to potential buyers.A staged home reduces clutter, removes personal items of the seller, and likely involves cleaner furniture than what the seller owns. A stager can help with your online listing, too, as 96% of home buyers use the internet during their home search. 2 That means your home had better show really well online.

How does home staging make you feel?

Home staging doesn’t always have to be when you are selling your home,  it can simply be rearranging furniture,  throwing out some work pieces,  changing light fixtures,  changing accent pillow covers,  and repurposing furniture.  Why wait until you’re ready to sell you’re home to enjoy your home to the fullest?

Home staging may increase the likelihood that you’ll sell your property and do so quickly, and for top-dollar. If you’re on a tight timeline or looking to boost your profits on the sale, home staging can certainly help.

As a general rule of thumb, the average cost for most stagers is $300 to $600 for an initial design consultation, and $500 to $600 per month per staged room. “Therefore, staging a 2,000-square-foot home would cost around $2,000 to $2,400

Before you start ask yourself these questions and my system 

1. Are you downsizing to a smaller place 
2. which room would you like to start with 1st?
3. Is the clutter affecting your health and personal life?  
4. Do you stop having people come over? 
5. Safety?  Are you physically able to walk around your home without bumping into things 

System

1. Trash
2. Keep (I’m going to lose weight to fit into this, this was a gift, I paid a lot for this, I remember when I wore this)
3. Donate (job change,  kids have grown out of it) 
4. Treasure (this is where I give a general appraisal at a cost of items and sell on my 10 sites on commission or you can chose to keep the items 
5. Decide what you want to do with the money you make ? -(financial advisor :  pay off debt, invest, add to you’re retirement, give to your loved ones now so you can see them enjoy it, you take a vacation etc)
