What is Home Staging?
Home staging is the art of grooming a home to make it more attractive for sale so that it
sells for the highest possible price in the shortest possible time.
It’s about creating a visual experience and sense of warmth that will appeal to the largest
number of potential buyers.
Staging a home is like going on a first date.
|
Most prospective buyers make a decision within seconds of entering a home. Our
goal? That after they walk through your front door, they won’t want to leave.
We want them to think, “Wow, this is such a beautifully maintained home and so
perfect for me!”
OT will help carry out this transformation of your home into someone else’s potential
home. Soon, you will need to start viewing your house as a kind of commodity or
product that you are selling, rather than a home full of memories, personal artifacts,
and a family history. OT will guide you through this transition as we make the most
of all of your home's best features and prepare it for sale.

What Do You Do When You Stage a Home?
Home Staging
buyers long after they leave your home. You want them to get into their car saying,
“That place was really attractive. It seems like they’ve really taken care of it. The
rooms were spacious and bright. I loved the fireplace in the living room. And there
doesn’t seem to be much work to do, so we could move right in if we wanted to!”
Ensuring this kind of first impression involves a number of things, such as creating
curb appeal, eliminating clutter, highlighting your interior’s architecture and design,
defining room use, and creating a sense of light and spaciousness, among other
things. OT will stage your home based on its unique design, age, style,
preferences of likely buyers, and your individual needs.

you stage my home before I get organized?
If time permits, you'll have the best chance of long-term organizational success as
well as selling your home or condo at the most attractive price if you have
decluttered, created sustainable organizing systems that work for you, and have
made the most efficient use of your living space. Not only will it impress potential
buyers, but it will enable you to maintain your desired level of organization in your
new home. However, if circumstances don't permit you to organize deeply prior to
staging, OT will work with you to stage your home while concealing or drawing
attention away from its organizational flaws.
