A Merchandiser or A Home Stager?

Staged by DC Redesign - Sold in 38 days!

Both! Marketing your home is just as a merchandiser would market a product using special packaging. You wouldn’t buy a product that doesn’t look good, so why would you buy a house that is disorganized and dirty? Try to look at your house through your buyer’s eyes.

Physical clutter can create mental and spiritual blocks to success, health and selling your home. Have you ever needed to pick up your rooms, make your bed, and put away the dirty dishes in the sink before you leave on a vacation?  That’s because space cleaning is good to lighten your mind and leaves you with a feeling of balance.

First Impressions Sell

Some unacceptable first impressions buyers have can be corrected with the list below. Always remember first impressions and how it is important in any part of your life and in selling your home.

1. Clean up the walkway to your home removing any dead plants, adding new ones, and sweeping and hosing off the driveway and garage doors. It may even be necessary to paint the front door if washing it doesn’t help. Also keep the entrance well lighted at night.

2. Remove any personal stuff, old newspapers and magazines, clothes lying around and religious artifacts. Make sure countertops and dresser tops are clean and clear.

3. Move out any unused or extra furniture so that your rooms are more spacious and not crowded with a lot of stuff.

4. All cupboards and closets should be clean and orderly.  Get rid of old unused clothing.  Kitchen and bathroom cupboards should be extra clean and neat.

5. Remove from sight any cat litter boxes, garbage cans and pet dishes and check the odor in your home. Most homeowners don’t realize that odor plays a big part in the sale of their home.

6. Replace any old rugs and carpets, paint the walls or remove any old wallpaper. Buyers love when everything is done before they move in.

7. Keep your rooms light and bright with clean windows and window coverings. Open up the blinds and curtains and let in the sunshine. If it’s a nice day, open up the windows and let in the fresh air.

8. Add real flowers around your home inside and out. Flowers will also freshen up the scent of your rooms.

9. Keep your rooms painted in a color that appeals to all. It doesn’t necessarily have to be neutral but don’t use hot pinks, lime greens, or themed kids rooms.

10. Make sure your garage is very clean and organized. It you have time, try and have a garage sale before you list your home with a Realtor.

If you live in an area where all of the houses are somewhat the same, with similar features, floor plans and neighborhoods, make your home the best looking house on the block. A Home Stager will help you achieve the look of a perfectly staged home but not look artificial.  Your buyer needs to think,  “I could live here.”  Your home will be remembered!

Home Staging with Rental Furniture

I’m sure many of you have some confusion on whether or not to use a home staging company that uses a furniture rental company and why.  Having the choice of many furniture pieces gives us the flexibility to stay within the homeowner’s or investor’s price range.  Consider these 5 points:

1.  There are many collections of furniture to choose from -  traditional to contemporary.

DC Redesign creates that Ahhh feeling for your buyer using a collection of coordinated, comfortable packages and we have the choice of an extensive inventory of high-caliber furniture and accessories.

2.  Renting provides a wide array of accessories, rugs, lamps, and floor plants.

DC Redesign uses pieces from our collection, but when a it seems right we also choose from rental accessories, lamps, plants/trees and that perfect color of rug to tie your design altogether.

3.  After each use in a home staging the fabrics are cleaned and the wood is polished and well taken care of.

At the time of delivery each piece is in excellent condition. After every staging the pieces are cleaned, repaired (if needed) or taken out of stock and replaced. You never have to worry about the furniture not being up to par.

4.  Deliveries are on time and keep you in mind.

From the time of contract delivery can be up to as fast as 24 to 48 hours on business days.  You won’t have to worry about the our team nicking up any doors or walls, and scratched or dirty floors; all furniture pieces have felt pads on legs using our five-star installation team.

5.  Pricing is always within your budget!

Our estimates are based on the rooms YOU want staged. DC Redesign suggest staging the main rooms – Living Room (sofa, chair, cocktail table, end table and lamp), Dining Room (dining table and 4 chairs),  and Master Suite (queen bed, dresser, mirror, nightstand and lamp) – PLUS all rooms include art, accessories, and plants. Choose from 1 month, 2 month or 3 month packages.

DC Redesign is committed to making the sale of your home stress-free and effortless for you each and every time!  Call for pricing; we work with you!  (714) 815-3506.

Home Staging is a Definite Yes!

Home staging projects are very exciting, fun and… a lot of work. You will agree viewing before and after photos that home staging is a definite for your home to create a feeling of warmth and bring some life into your property.

The location of your home can be very important when a beach location can add $25,000 and up to your listing price. It is one of the main components of home staging to spotlight any extraordinary view such as the ocean, lake, greenbelt or mountains and the backyard or patio.  These all add value to your listing price. Some homes have small backyards or no yard at all, so it is essential that the patio be set up, the gardens weeded and have newly planted flowers displayed in beds or pots.

A bad home staging job can actually take away from the sale of your home. You want the buyer to focus on the positive points inside and out of your home. Empty houses are “cold.” The layout of the furniture is extremely important, especially if the purpose of the room is unclear. Furniture placement pulls the rooms together, accentuates any specific architecture in your home and creates a wonderful “flow” plan throughout. This helps your buyers’ visualize the value of your home’s potential.

Home staging creates a place your buyer can see himself living in and a place to call “Home!” Contact DC Redesign for home staging or conceptual design – (714) 815-3506. We put the AHHHH into homes.  Does YOUR home have that AHHHH feeling?
