Home Staging

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.  
It's important to set the mood, show off the home’s best assets, draw
attention away from its problem areas and defects, and create a strong
and appealing first impression if you want to sell your home quickly
and at your desired asking price.
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.
Why Stage Your Home?
  • Staging says to potential buyers, “This house has been well maintained,” increasing
    the speed of sales and reducing haggling
  • Staging is a great way to benefit sales "by owner"
  • Staging bolsters the chances of a successful open house
  • Staging helps to maintain a healthy and constructive realtor/seller relationship
  • Staging is a great alternative if you are having difficulty selling your home, but don’t
    want to lower your asking price
  • Staging makes your property stand out from the rest of the competition
  • Staging sets the scene and enables prospective buyers to visualize enjoying life in
    your house or condo
  • Staging draws the eye toward the best features of the home, and away from its flaws
What Do You Do When You Stage a Home?
Staging a home is all about creating a positive impression that stays with potential 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.  
What Kind of Staging Do You Specialize In?
Organized Tranquility specializes in Interior Redesign Staging.  Redesign staging usually
occurs in owner-occupied homes and primarily relies upon redesigning the client's living
space with their existing furniture and accessories, adding decorative "finishing touches"
when and where beneficial.  This approach enables the homeowner to conserve their
budget, stage their home relatively quickly, continue living in their home in comfort, and
transfer the "staged look" to their new home should they wish.  Off-site storage may
sometimes be necessary even with redesign staging.
Do You Offer Staging Assessments?
Absolutely!  Sometimes clients prefer to take the necessary steps to stage their homes
themselves, once they have a vision and a plan of action in hand.  That's where OT comes
in.  OT is happy to come to your home and carry out a detailed, room by room, staging
assessment, customized to your needs, time-table, budget, and particular housing market.  
We will provide you a step-by-step action plan with specific recommendations for
transforming your living space into one that will catch prospective buyers' eyes, draw them
in, and make them want to stay!
