Staging Beach House- Before Photo

Here is how it begins.  I finally learned how to post photos…wrote down directions and now praying it will all work… I talk about staging a lot because truthfully that’s the beginning of the entire process.  Check out the SECOND load in my Jeep–furniture was taken on first trip.  It’s interesting because the conception is that only “yukky” houses need staging…look at it this way – everyone has good points…all houses have good points…we just can’t be “chicken” as agents and NOT have the confidence and trust from our clients when we make suggestions!  I even bring in a “professional” stager who is a friend of mine to back me up in suggestions..!  This truckfull is not going into a YUKKY house — it’s going into a “drop dead gorgeous house next to Wind And Sea Beach…but it just needed some “extra touches” that when you live in a house you really don’t NEED… however when you are selling a multi million house—well let’s face it even with a gorgeous view it better look darn good…and yipeeeee it does!

It’s an interesting real estate climate out there and those of us that work realllly hard and go “out of the box” for our clients will survive the madness.  I offer the same services to all my sellers – no matter the price range…sometimes they even like my staging so much that they buy my “accessories” and they go live with them in their next house!  I’m fortunate as I know this is a “hidden” talent –since I am not a designer- but I think my years in advertising taught me how to “stage” a product—this just takes it a bit further!  Thought you’d like my FIRST photo…have a great week end!
