Look at the images on the left...the "before shots" and look at the "afters" on the right. Compare the 3 homes. What do these properties have in common? What is different?

Why does this matter?
Staging works for all price ranges, all locations, and all types of homes. The budget for staging can be a few hundred dollars or it can be a few thousand. The most important thing is that staging is one of the most effective tools to achieve a faster and more profitable sale!
Design To Market has been staging homes in Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky since 2004. For more information about this project and our other Cincinnati home staging services please call us at 513-265-0952 or visit our website at www.designtomarketllc.com.
What to do...what to do?!?
The Cincinnati Home Staging team from Design To Market hit the road today with a schedule full of consultations. With stops in Amelia, Indian Hill, and Oakley, we knew we would have a full day of work ahead of us. After spending several hours in a home in Indian Hill rearranging furniture and coordinating the move of a few items to a storage unit, we headed to Oakley. As we entered this home we wondered what staging would be required. This home had great curb appeal but what would we find inside?
Home staging can be a tough profession. The decisions can be challenging. One thing though for sure: other than clearing the top of this refrigerator and grabbing a few magnets off the front, all bets were off on where "killer kitty" would choose to pounce!
If you are preparing to move don't forget to call a stager. If you are in Cincinnati and preparing to move call Design To Market at 513-265-0952 and let us help you figure out how to handle the small and big challenges of getting your home ready to sell!
This beautiful home was staged by Design To Market on August 8th and was under contract in 6 days!
Design To Market's stagers are staging homes in Cincinnati on a daily basis. We are staging Cincinnati's vacant homes. We are staging Cincinnati's investor properties. We are staging Cincinnati model homes We are coordinating Cincinnati contractors to stage all kinds of homes. And in the case of this home, we are staging Cincinnati owner occupied homes.
How do you stage an owner occupied home? What is a partial home staging? The MOST important goal in this type of project is that it looks GREAT and that it doesn't look staged!
Dining Room
Who owns the artwork, the centerpiece, who picked the paint colors....
Kitchen
Who picked the light fixtures, who selected the paint color, are the counter tops new, whose artwork is that...
Master Bedroom
Is the bedding new, who arranged the shelves, whose artwork is that, how about that seating area, ...
The answer to all of those questions is Design To Market and I bet you couldn't tell! A good, no a GREAT home staging should subtly show the potential of the home. It should not appear contrived. It should highlight the advantages of the home and realistically convey that potential.
The Design To Market team has been staging homes in Cincinnati for 8 years. We stage homes of all price points and we stage them whether they need a little "tweaking" or a major overhaul. Call today at 513-265-0952, e-mail us at jpotvin@designtomarketllc.com, or visit our website at www.designtomarketllc.com to learn how we can help you prepare your home for sale.
It's time to re-energize your efforts to sell your home. The spring market is well behind us but interest rates are low and there is a lot of selling time left before the "Turkey Day Slow Down." The designers at Design To Market have been staging houses in Cincinnati for 8 years and home staging consultations are one of the best tools in our bag of tricks.
This is the time of year to review the feedback from your summer showings and get serious for the fall. A home staging consultation is a great idea as you look for answers as to why your home is not sold. Feedback from showings can be helpful but can also make you crazy! Prospective buyers have different tastes and one buyer's positive can be a negative to another. The home stager focuses on broad appeal and those changes that will appeal to the largest numbers.
A home staging consultation is a great solution when you either feel conflicted by the diverse feedback from showings or feel conflicted because you are not getting showings! The consultation allows the seller to have a thorough review of their home by a third party with an unbiased eye. Often the result is a list of quick and inexpensive changes that will create a more competitive look for your home.

Is there anything these homes have in common? Can you look closely and figure it out? Probably Not!
There are only two things these homes have in common. 1.) They are all homes staged for investors by the Design To Market design team. 2.) They all are owned by investors staging their properties with the goal of minimizing carrying costs by increasing showings and improving the odds of making faster sales.
Investing in staging makes sense for all types of homes. The prices range represented in these photos goes from about $70, 000 to over $200,000. Investing in staging also makes sense for all types of neighborhoods. These homes are located in Anderson, Norwood, and West Chester. Finally, investors use staging for all types of properties. The first two homes are single family homes and the final home is a townhome. And guess what...age doesn't matter! These investors staged homes that ranged from newer properties to one that is almost 100 years old.
If you are an investor and questioning whether staging is for you, call Jo Potvin with Design To Market at 513-265-0952 to learn more about our Cincinnati investor staging services.

Hi Jo,
I know you can always use success stories to share with potential clients.... Since you staged the home in Wyoming, we've had 3 showings (doesn't sound like a lot I know). However, the first showing produced an offer -- contingent on selling the buyer's home -- we refused. The second showing produced a verbal offer -- again, contingent on selling their home. The third produced a bona fide offer with a delayed closing date which works out great for the client (they will not have to move into temporary housing prior to the completion of their new home). We accepted! Thanks again for your help. I have already mentioned your name to several clients, so I'm sure we'll be working together again in the future! Karen Jo, I just wanted to thank you. We sold our home in 9 days, at full asking price! Staging works wonders! Alison-Kenwood _____________________________________________________________________ "I highly endorse the creative, professional, and extremely helpful services provided by Design To Market. We received an offer on our home in eight days...while our next-door neighbors, with a comparable house priced 10% lower, had their house on the market for nearly two months. I am 100% sold on the concept of professional staging and the specific services of Design To Market. I know that the value received far exceded the cost." Louise-Blue Ash
