Preparing your home to sell has many facets.  One of the most important way to impact the sale of your home is creating the  ‘ambiance’ to achieve the most notable first impressions on potential buyers.  First impressions are one of the key factors in selling your home!  A potential buyer has made up their mind within the first ten seconds after they step in the door, and in fact, they have already formed an opinion as they pulled in the driveway!

Staging® is one of the most effective ways to prepare to promote a home in the real estate marketplace.  Staging® is NOT decorating!  Decorating makes a home personal. Staging® your home is impersonalizing it, working with the ’flow’ of your home, eliminating clutter, editing furniture and assisting in curb appeal. Staging is selling your space, not your stuff !

A PERFECTLY STAGED HOME

             

I am an ASP™ Realtor with John L Scott in Anacortes, Washington.  Staging is a value- added service that I offer to my clients as a part of each of my listings. I have been trained by the founder of stagedhomes.com, Barb Schwarz.  I serve Anacortes and all of Skagit County.  The investment of staging your home is less than the first price reduction!
