Home Stage Home recently staged a property that had a very interesting feature that wasn't being showcased properly. It was a dual-access cabinet that opened from the family room as well as the master bath. The owners were using it as board game storage but I thought that turning it into a bar would appeal to many more buyers. These days who couldn't use a bar in their master bath? The owners loved it as well as the people who toured the home. By adding this feature it made the property more unique and memorable which is crucial when there is so much inventory in the real estate market.

Do you ever enter a home for sale that just doesn't feel right?
Are you sensitive to spaces that give off a bad vibe?
As realtors and stagers we enter thousands of homes and there's no mistaking that some places feel great and others make us want to head for the back door.
In this competitive market it's important to eliminate any negative energy that exists in the home. At Home Stage Home we have found that a little bit of HOME CLEANSING can be just as important as HOME CLEANING. My ritual includes opening up all the doors and windows (weather permitting) cabinets and closet doors and ringing a bell in all the corners of the house to break up any unwanted negative energy. I also like to play my favorite music while staging and I'll go as far as thanking the house for letting me visit and giving a little affirmation for a successful sale. I haven't gone as far as "smudging" with burning sage in case buyers would be put off by the smell but I do like a healthy breeze of Citrus Magic when I'm done.
What are your HOME CLEANSING rituals if you have any and do you think they work in giving off a positive vibe for potential buyers?
How do you home stagers and realtors give gratitude to each other this holiday season?
I've always enjoyed sending gift baskets with gourmet treats to offices since you can never have too much to eat in the work place. It's also fun to receive thanks at your place of business.
Any suggestions for unusual gifts of gratitude for all the people that make our job easier and/or generate business and success for us?
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
