We have experience in Real Estate Staging, Interior Redesign, Interior Decorating, Visual Merchandising and investment properties in Minnesota. We know what it takes to sell a house fast and for a profit. We understand what it is like to have multiple mortgages and that you want the house sold quickly, without putting a lot of money into it. We are dedicated to working with our clients on an individual basis, to discuss what the property needs in relation to their budget. We can work within any budget to bring some level of staging to every customer. We give FREE-NO HASSEL ESTIMATES and serve the Twin Cities metro area in Minnesota.

Our Stagers are Certified and Fully Insured professionals that will Stage any property to sell. We can use the seller's existing furnishings to stage the home if they are still living in the house or supply furnishings from our very own stock to stage a vacant property. By using our own furniture and accessories to Stage the house we can control the quality and cost. We have a 'Staged Houses for Sale' page on our site where the property will be featured at no charge.

Home staging is the act of grooming or preparing a home for sale to make it more inviting to the greatest number of potential buyers, for a quicker and more profitable sale.

Visit our "Staged Homes for Sale" page on our web site at http://www.thehomesquad.net/id72.html

Specializing in Vacant, Model Homes and Investment property staging. No house is too big or small for us. We will work within any budget with flexible payment and home staging packages. We are in the process of buying brand new furniture, so our clients will have all new furnishings in their staged property. All of our stagings are completed in a timely and professional manner, we want to get the property back on the market as soon as possible.

Research shows that professionally staged properties typically sell for 6-22% more money and 30-50% faster. The latest MAAR report for Minnesota is that professionally staged properties sell for an average of 6 1/2% more than un-staged properties. Currently their are about 7 houses per buyer on the market, so the seller needs their house to stand out above the competition. Home buyers make up their mind about buying a property within 10-20 seconds after walking in the door. First impressions are key in selling a house!

Sellers typically get over a 200% return on the money they invest in staging their property for sale and Staging costs less than a price reduction. So think sbout it, A seller invests $300 or even $2,000 in staging instead of reducing the price by $10,000 or $20,000, that means more profit for everyone.

Home Squad offers flexible payment and fianancing plans as well as payment by credit card or Pay Pal. We will customize a bid for any budget, whether it is a $100,000 or 4,000,000 home.

Call for a FREE ESTIMATE! We will come out to the property to take pictures, measurments and notes, then usually within 24 hours you get a detailed estimate of what it would cost to stage the house. We treat every client as an individual to give them what they want and need within their personal budget.

Home Squad Staging Services:

Model Homes- We have several different packages for builders to choose from. There are huge benefits to using a Stager rather than a Designer or Decorator. Stagers do not over fill rooms, we are educated in Staging houses. This will also help save money because we use less furniture than a typical Designer and know that in todays market people are looking for more spacious rooms for their money. Call today to discuss all of the options available to make Staging your models more affordable.

Vacant Staging- We will bring in furniture and accessories to create a design that will make home buyers want to move-in not move-on. We can use a few pieces to add warmth, dimension and purpose or furnish the entire property.

Testimonials

Before home staging After- Staging using Home Squad stock furnishings.

We were so fortunate to find Dawn and her company to do the staging on our
condo in Eagan. This is why. We first listed it in February of 2005. We
had very few showings, no offers and wound up taking progressive price
reductions on the property. Moreover we had moved to Portland, Oregon over
2,000 miles away so we knew we had to find someone we could trust.

We struck an agreement with Dawn and before we knew it, Dawn had the condo
staged and looking great. The furnishings she picked out did not overwhelm
the space but did a great job of conveying what it would look with
furniture.

Within 48 hours we had an offer!!! I call that performance. Dawn obviously
knows the market and how to get the right things done. We were incredibly
impressed and so pleased to have our real estate nightmare draw to a close.
The investment we made in staging yielded a fantastic return

If anyone wants further details, I would be very pleased to take phone
calls.

Very truly yours,


Frank Massey

Got the pics it is amazing how much better it looks. I am so sorry we
didn't know about you last Oct.

Yes, the offer looks like it is moving ahead. So this is one for your record
books. In hours it sold....

Dawn,
We are thrilled with how the condo looks!!! It definitely has a warm feel
to it.

Thanks for the heads up on tax deductible item! Printed it and will save
receipt.

We are going to put the MBR door back on tomorrow and the towel bar or maybe find a substitute.

Thanks for your suggestions!

Hi Dawn,
You can call me at my home any time I work out of my home office
most of the time.

I just returned from the condo..... It looks great......We took some pictures
to put in the MLS.

Thanks for responding so quickly and doing such a wonderful
job for them.

TY
Jan, Realtor

Thank You so much for staging my investment property. It sold 3 days after you staged it and for $3,000 over asking!! In this market that is nothing short of a miracle. You did such a fabulous job, every Realtor that came through was amazed at how rich and elegant everything looked. I want to thank you for letting me pay at closing, it had been on the market so long I was getting short on cash.

We will talk when I am ready to sell the next one!!

Jeff, Apple Valley

THANK YOU once again. Last evening I was so 'hyped up' that it was difficult going to bed fearful I'd awaken this morning to find it was all 'JUST a dream!' WHAT a DAY BRIGHTENER to arise, walk through my home in awe once again, and 'NO, it's not JUST a dream - it's for REAL!'How do I thank you enough - these words can't possibly express the depth of my gratitude! I am ELATED with the result of your work. You are a Godsend - surely He is looking down on me, and you. God Bless You! Without a doubt you are and will continue to be VERY successful in your chosen profession. I wish you the very best in the years to come and will not EVER forget! I'll post your lovely ad sheets/cards on our bulletin boards and 'pass the word' every opportunity I get - nothing like a satisfied client! I am now finally 'anxious' to invite people in! With warmest regards and thank you again ever so much...

Dear Home Squad,
I had Dawn re-do a room in my home. When I came home, I was so pleased to see what had been done to my living room. The way we had it was boring and uninteresting.

The newly arranged room was so warm and welcoming. Pictures were re-hung, nick-naks added and arranged in ways that complimented the room. Furniture was at angles and placed in ways we would never have thought of. We are really pleased with the outcome. We would not hesitate to recommend Home Squad to anyone.

To whom it may concern,

Dawn Selman-Schwieger has completed her professional training, successfully passed all testing and certification procedures. She is a bright and talented interior decorator. Dawn has the ability to overcome the many challenges we often face in the decorating field. Her capacity to "think outside the box" sets her apart from the many decorators I have worked with! During her training we had the opportunity to complete several interior decorating projects together and I am very impressed with her ability. I would highly recommend Dawn for any interior decorating and staging project. She is a dynamic professional that anyone would be fortunate to work with. Dawn has a flair and passion for creating beautiful spaces that is unsurpassed! Feel free to contact me with any questions.
