When is the best time to hire a Home Staging Professional???
The short answer??? When you are thinking about putting your house on the market, before you start talking with real estate agents or brokers.
Why? A home stager will look at your house through the eyes of a potential buyer and will make the necessary changes needed to appeal to a general audience. A home stager will not benefit from the sale of the house in the way of commissions so therefore can be considered a neutral advisor. The home stager is on "everyone's side", meaning that we work closely with the seller so that their house hits the market ready to "wow" the potential buyers who are looking at the house...as well as with the listing real estate agent. Our services benefit the Real Estate agent because, if fully staged, the house will show magnificently both in "real life" and also in virtual photos, therefore making it statistically likely to sell quicker and in less time than an un-staged home.
What does a Home Stager do? A Professional Home Stager, like AccuStagers, who has experience in the real estate industry as well as the decorating field, will "undecorate" the house, neutralizing it and taking the personal affects away from the home. Don't be fooled, however...it's not just a matter of taking pictures off the wall. It takes someone with knowledge of color, balance, room flow, lighting and with strong organizational skills to stage a home properly.
How Does a Home Stager Work? A Professional Home Stager should be a Real Estate Agent's best friend. We will kindly, but firmly make sure that the collections and knick-knacks are carefully packed away. We will discuss the virtues of removing the cat's litter box from the living room (and remove it..and any lingering odor), and will suggest that removing the bee-covered bush from the front walk might be in everyone's best interest. We will be the "bad guy" so to speak so that you can develop a wonderful, professional relationship with your client without having to enter into those "awkward" conversations that can sometimes backfire and come between you and the seller. When the house sells quickly, and for top dollar, the real estate agent will be the hero, will collect the commissions, and everyone will be happy!
Your Home Staging Professional is ready, willing and able to work together so that it's "win-win" for all! If you haven't considered using a Home Stager, like Accustagers, give it a shot! It'll be one of the best professional decisions you will ever make....

In a Challenging Market....Think out of the box!!!!!
It's hard to know how to conduct one's business today. One day, the media reports negative trends regarding the local economy; housing sales continue to struggle to close, it's a rental market. The very next week...behold! Things are improving, we've hit rock bottom, it's only going to go up from here. UGH!!!!!
How are we real estate professionals supposed to proceed? Do we spend money that we don't have to market ourselves? Do we hold back, relying on the contacts that we've established over the years? What if we're just starting out? Get a part-time job until the economy improves? One thing is for sure...we have to be innovative, creative, not “same ole, same ole”.
Whether buying or selling, our clients expect nothing less than supurb representation from everyone they deal with, virtually every step of the way....
Regardless of the trends of the industry, one thing is for sure. Business has changed. Buyers are demanding because they are concerned...maybe even scared. We can't rest on our laurels and rely on what worked in the past. We must THINK OUT OF THE BOX!!!!!
For Real Estate Staging Companies, like Accustagers in Morris County, New Jersey who count on the support of the industry in general, times are particularly challenging. Even though it's been proven time and time again that a house that has been staged by a Home Staging Professional sells faster and for more money than houses that haven't benefitted from professional home staging, we are fighting to gain the support of Real Estate salespeople and brokers. Sure, you read the statistics and know that staging works. Sure, you listen to our pitches, promise to consider us in the future, vow to promote us to your clients. But, do you follow through?
We've all heard the old real estate mantra...location, location, location. In this market??? Staging, staging staging. According to Barb Schwarz, the creator of the home staging industry, "even in today's slower housing market, 95% of Staged homes sell (on average) in 35 days or less. On the other hand, homes that are not Staged take 172 days or more to sell, if they sell at all."
Hiring a Home Staging Professional, like Accustagers in Morris County, New Jersey saves you and your client time...and makes you both money. It's WIN-WIN for everyone.
Think out of the box, and hire a home stager TODAY!!!

What is Home Staging?
Home staging is the art of rearranging furniture and accessories in a home with the purpose of creating a clutter-free, polished environment, therefore appealing to a wide range of potential buyers. Staging a house with AccuStagers , allows the prospective buyer to look beyond the owner's personal belongings to see the positive features that the house has to offer... like the layout of the room or square footage. Staging with a Home Staging Professional in Morristown, Morris County, New Jersey, typically sells quicker and for more money than a house that has not benefited from a home staging professional.
How do I know who to hire as a Home Stager?
Home Staging is part of the real estate industry, not the decorating industry! The home staging industry is not regulated, therefore anyone can call themselves a home stager. In fact, you might see "accredited home stager”, or "certified home stager" elsewhere. That simply means that person paid to take a 1-3 day course, or paid a fee to join an organization and can therefore call themselves a home stager!
AccuStagers...it's all about EXCELLENCE!!!!!!!

If you are a real estate professional, are your listings moving?
Hiring a Home Staging Professional, like AccuStagers...the first impression experts... is a way to almost guarantee that your house...whether you are selling it or listing it...will sell faster and for more money than a house that has not benefitted from professional home staging services.

Homes that are NOT staged take 172 days or more to sell, if they sell at all."
Impressive statistics, aren't they?
Hiring AccuStagers may very well be the best marketing decision you will make!
My expertise in design, real estate and business principals produces results for my clients. I hold a B.A. Degree in Clothing and Textiles, and studied Interior Design at the prestigious Parsons School of Design in New York City. I was a retail buyer for 14 years for Macy's in Manhattan, traveling the world to select and design items for our customers. I have worked with many of the top designers in the world, and developed a keen eye for detail, color, and most important...salability. My passion is fabric, color theory, furniture and how they influence our moods and our lifestyle. I have passed the NJ Real Estate Sales person course as well as the 200 classroom hours required to become a Certified Appraiser in New Jersey and passed all state exams. I have moved often, and as a result have reviewed hundreds of houses, and am often shocked by how people will have such little regard for marketing their most valuable asset to the market! That's how I decided to become a Home Stager. I knew my expertise in design, real estate, business would be put to great use in a way that is "win-win" for everyone...the seller, the agent and me!
My favorite Staging stories are personal: Every house I have sold has gone to contract in less than a month and for near asking price. One house even resulted in a price war, and ended up selling for 15% over my listed price! My education and experience, combined with professionalism, thoroughness and compassion is what makes houses staged by AccuStagers sell for the highest price in the shortest amount of time.
“ I didn’t know what a Home Stager was when our real estate agent suggested we hire one. What a difference Laura Wilson has made! Our house went to contract in two weeks in this terrible market, and the best news is that my accountant said her services were tax deductible! Everyone should hire Laura at AccuStagers. She’s the best!!!!”
~Mary Mascandrolio, East Hanover, NJ
"Laura has staged three homes of mine. My houses always sold quickly and I never had to reduce the asking price, even in some tough economic times. I have used Laura’s clean and simple designs in my new home. I’m so happy that the clutter is gone!” ~Sheila Givan, Mitchelville, MD
“I wasn’t sure how my house would sell, because I’ve lived in it for so long. Laura helped me remove a lot of the clutter, and my house no longer looks like an “old ladies” house. My daughter couldn’t believe what Laura convinced me to do.” ~Lydia Murphy, West Caldwell, NJ
“Working with Laura was a pleasure. Her consultation and proposal were professional and “spot on”. It was amazing how many things we have overlooked in our house. Hiring AccuStagers was the best decision because she was neutral and we really respected what she had to say. It was so obvious to us that she really knows what she is talking about.” ~Dale Kynoch, Chevy Chase, MD
