If they are like most homeowners selling their home, they will want it to be sold quickly and for top dollar and assurance that you’ve done everything that you can to make that happen and it was a smooth process.

When buyers are looking at your home, they want to visualize their lives there. And, and really a lot of times they're looking for that next level, right? We're leveling up, you know, in my new house, I'm going to have, you know, these kinds of parties, or I want this room to have my girlfriends over so we can drink wine and have a book club.

Why would we invest in staging again, is home staging worth it in those price, in that, in that market. Right. and so let's talk about that.

There is a lot behind the scene to staging that often gets forgotten or overlooked. It seems like a fun job where we come and decorate your house, which is a fun thing where we come and decorate your home. There are just a lot of layers that lead to the finished result.

As a stager, it is important for me to be up on trends.  After all, how would I be able to stage a home to look updated and fresh if all of my inventory is dated and old?  Luckily, I find following trends quite delightful, and particularly enjoyed this presentation by Highland House at the Denver Launch Spring Market on Thursday.  The whole presentation tied the trends in fashion with the colors and patterns of their spring line.  It was fabulous!  

This week I participated in my first RESA (Real Estate Staging Association) meeting in Denver, and met a group of lovely stagers who are located all over the Front Range.  As someone who is building her business, it was exciting to see so many women who had been in business for many years, and who shared the same passion for design.  

When it comes to staging, furniture scale and placement is everything.  In a world of oversized, mega couches, it is often that I come across a home with furniture that is too large or plentiful.  I can empathize with the homeowner, recognizing their concern that every person, at the party they may throw once a year, have spacious and comfortable seating.
