How does Home Staging Benefit the seller?
It is important to make the "right" first impression to any potential buyer especially in today's housing market.  Kate's Home Staging and Redesign will help buyers connect with your home and give you a competitive edge over the competition.  We have been trained to identify which changes to your home will provide the home owner with the most return on investment. 


Can I stage my own home?
Home sellers may not be as successful staging their own homes since they have emotion equity built into their homes.  In other words, home sellers are attached to their furniture, accessories, bold pieces of art that may be distracting a potential buyer.  Kate's Home Staging and Redesign has been trained to view your home objectively from the curb to the back porch and with a buyer's perspective.  We will use proven design techniques to draw the potential buyer's eye to architectural features of your home not your furniture.


Can a home be staged if the sellers are still living in it?
Absolutely!  Kate's Home Staging and Redesign will work with the seller and their existing furniture to bring out your homes beauty.  We will redesign each room to draw the potential buyer's eye to all the positive features your home has to offer.  Ask Kate's Home Staging and Redesign about our open house prep bag, it is just another tool to help make showing your home easier on you and your family.





Can't my Realtor stage my house?
Yes, a Realtor can stage your home but their expertise really lies in marketing and showing your home.  A Realtor may not have the time to work on staging your home, coordinating vendors such as painters, and to shop for the perfect accessories to ensure your home will shine.  Kate's Home Staging and Redesign consultants have been specifically trained in all aspects of home staging and interior design to ensure your home will make the right first impression.


When is the ideal time to have a home staged?
Actually, the best time to contact a certified home stager is one to three months before you place your home on the market.  Some homes require more work and organization and several months to make your home "buyer ready" is ideal. A home should be staged before your Realtor sets the selling price and takes any online MLS photos. Kate's Home Staging and Redesign specializes in taking high quality digital pictures after "hands-on" staging has been complete. This will ensure your home will shine online and will sell faster.


What is the value of home staging?
The latest Home Gain survey of over 1,000 Realtors lists home staging as the second home improvement option home sellers should be doing since it has a 586% return on investment.  In other words, if you spent $300 on home staging when you are trying to sell your home, your home would sell for $1,780 dollars more.  So, you are actually making more money by spending $300 on home staging.  Home staging will also help sell your home faster since your online MLS pictures will now look better, more potential home buyers will request to view your home.  Over 94% of potential home buyers start their search for a new home on the Internet, so it is important to have your home professionally staged before your home's pictures are posted online.  You only have one shot to make a first impression in this real estate market.  Why take a risk with your most valuable possession?  Home staging is a very cost effective marketing strategy to help sell your home and over 80% of Realtors now support and recommend home staging.
