Buyers like SPACE!! But just because your home is big does not mean that the space will be warm and welcoming to a buyer. This LARGE FAMILY ROOM is the first room a buyer will see when entering this home. Is it welcoming you in??
This room has a beautiful stone fireplace and large windows that go two stories high. Another feature that is not obvious to buyers is the fact that this room is a sunken family room. These features are getting lost among the poor furniture arrangement and clutter. BUT, after simple furniture arrangement to create better conversation as well as lots of declutttering.....
YOU NOW HAVE A ROOM THAT HAS BEEN RESTYLED TO SELL!!
If you are thinking of selling your home, take the time to call on the Team of ReStyled to Sell Home Staging Experts of NJ @ 732-995-3425. Together we are changing the way buyers view home!
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE what I do as a Professional Home Staging Expert! Every home is a new adventure as we look to turn them into new creations. BUT, WHAT I LOVE MOST IS THAT, sometimes the staging can be as simple as switching out furniture from one room to another and WALLA, we have a room that will appeal to a larger number of buyers!
In this home that we staged, the Living Room furniture was very contemporary and low to the ground. It appeared dated and informal. First Impressions is everything and buyer will enter into this room first. Our challenge....we needed to show a room that was a bit more formal and welcoming.
Boy was I thrilled when I went to the downstairs family room and found this!!
By switching out the two sets of furniture we now made sense of the two rooms. The downstairs family room ceiling was low and the room was very long and narrow. This low, contemporary furniture fit PERFECTLY down there, making that room appear larger. The living room now welcomes buyers into this space.
The kitchen was a bit cold, so by adding color to the walls and some PIZAZZ to the table this space went from black and white to warm and inviting!
IT ALSO WENT FROM FOR SALE TO SOLD, VERY QUICKLY I MIGHT ADD!! Still think your home could not benefit from STAGING?? If you have not scheduled your in home staging consultation yet, think twice and call on the Team of ReStyled to Sell Home Staging Experts at 732-995-3425.
Together we are changing the way buyers view homes!
First let me wish all my friends on AR a very Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year. As you approach 2009 with great anticipation I would love to share a quote that has been at the core of my business model since day one
IF ONE ADVANCES CONFIDENTLY IN THE DIRECTION OF HIS DREAMS AND ENDEAVORS TO LIVE THE LIFE WHICH HE HAS IMAGINED, HE WILL MEET WITH SUCCESS UNEXPECTED IN COMMON HOURS!
WOW, doesn't this say SO MUCH?? Think about this, are you advancing CONFIDENTLY in the direction of your dreams? Are you an expert in your field? Do you REALLY BELIEVE that what you do will benefit others? I had to ask myself these questions very early on in the my business and at time I questioned if what we do as Home Stagers really benefit sellers...
WELL, that has been proven over and over to me and my staff as we have seen houses sell quickly after staging them. Let's face it, our market took a downward turn, BUT buyers are still searching for that perfect home. Sellers, you need to STAGE YOUR HOME prior to listing it. As the New Year is upon us I am hearing more and more agents sell the concept of staging to the clients. AND AS ALWAYS, the ones that listen...SELL!
SO BE CONFIDENT IN THE WORK THAT YOU HAVE BEEN CALLED TO! Do you endeavor to live the life which you have imagined?? Well, some might think it is laying on a beach in Hawaii, followed up boarding your yacht for a candlelight dinner, drinking champagne and eating caviar....HA! While that sounds wonderful, that is NOT what this means..
How many people struggle day after day fighting traffic going to a job they absolutely HATE? I LOVE what I do and everyday is challenging, rewarding, and FUN, yes hard work, but FUN! That is the life I have imagined, to have a job that I NOT ONLY LOVE, but one that will truly help people. What a blessing when we transform their home which ultimately changes their life.
MEET WITH SUCCESS UNEXPECTED IN COMMON HOURS! To be successful, you MUST WORK HARD! Too many people trying to get into the Home Staging business see this as an easy way to make lots of money...WRONG! This is a very hard job and oftentimes what you need to spend in inventory to achieve the perfect look can cost just as much as the actual job, but over time your inventory grows and does get paid off. Don't expect success to happen overnight...BUT it will come unexpected in common hours.
I have worked hard not only at building my business, but developing a GREAT TEAM that stands along side me to help accomplish the goals of staging the homes. It is a blessing to see how with a few calls, I can have a team ready and willing to meet all the challenges that a home owner faces. We can get the job done quickly and efficiently saving you time and money.
We have added two new features to our company and already they are helping people with the sale of their home. Our calendar is filling up for January and we are excited about some new projects in the works. This did not happen overnight, but it DID HAPPEN. So advance CONFIDENTLY into 2009 and expect GREAT THINGS!
The team of ReStyled to Sell wishes all a very Happy, Blessed New Year and we look forward to serving agents and sellers alike in 2009. May God Bless you all

In today's market it so important to UPDATE your home to appeal to a larger number of potential buyers. Some elbow grease, a small investment and a professional home stager can dramatically transform your home. One of the FIRST recommendations I made for this room was that ALL mirrors and paneling should be removed. WHY? Let's take a look!
By updating this space, the home now will appeal to a younger buyer. The warm colors and style of furnishings add a contemporary style to this small ranch home. PERFECT FOR A YOUNG FAMILY. The room also appears larger.
Prior to staging, this home sat on the market since April with NO OFFERS. Now, newly painted and staged it is ready to greet the NEW YEAR and will welcome home that special buyer.
As we approach 2009, the Team of ReStyled to Sell would like to wish all a very Happy, Healthy and Blessed New Year. For additional information on Staging your home for sale or to schedule your in home consultation, please call Phyllis at 732-995-3425 or visit our website at www.restyledtosell.com

I want to thank everyone for all your valuable information and ideas that you so generously passed along to me with regard to setting up my table for the Home Buying and Staging Seminar that was held yesterday by KHovnanian .
It was a HUGE SUCCESS and I was happy with the outcome of my table. I was also very glad I packed additional items JUST IN CASE. As you remember I was told I was only going to be given a 4ft table, but when I arrived a large 8ft table, right out front, was waiting with my name on it! ALWAYS GO PREPARED FOR THE UNEXPECTED!!
With valuable information given to people who will be selling their homes, I believe that MANY ARE FINALLY SEEING THE LIGHT with regard to Home Staging. What Helped??? Well, take a look..
Guest Speaker, Vern Yip from Design Star, was giving his tips on STAGING YOUR HOME TO SELL!! When he spoke, they listened, so WE WERE THRILLED when he said REMOVE THE WALLPAPER...LISTEN TO YOUR HOME STAGING PROFESSIONALS PEOPLE, THIS IS WHAT THEY GET PAID TO DO! Vern is AS NICE IN PERSON AS HE APPEARS ON TV. Here is just one of the many photos we took together.
OOOO, I JUST LOVE VERN!
Here is a picture of my table, the other longer shot came too blurry so you don't get a good view of the whole table. The flowers I purchased were in a REAL PUMPKIN as their container and the apple candle caught everyone's attention.
Thanks again for all your help and I look forward to meeting with many of you at our FIRST TRI STATE STAGERS EXPO this Wednesday in Secaucus, NJ!
God Bless and Don't Forget to VOTE TOMORROW!

I cannot say enough about my experience with Restyled to Sell. My house was on the
market for a year before my realtor recommended Phyllis to come and help. She and her husband,
Mike, came in and knew exactly what buyers were looking for. They did not come in and just
decorate, as I had originally thought. They surveyed my house and found any "issues" buyers
would have. Phyllis and Mike did not cover anything up, which would cause problems in the house
inspection. They fixed everything the right way so our buyer would be able to move right in. After
making these repairs, they repainted with beautiful colors and very simply decorated certain rooms
making the whole house look absolutely incredible. We put the house back on the market and had
6 written offers within 4 days, all well above asking price! Our inspection was basically flawless
because any problems had been taken care of. Furthermore, Phyllis was very sympathetic to the fact
that we had two mortgages and did not want to pour money into our vacant house. She worked
within our budget, was not pushy about anything and it was worth every dime. We agreed to all
proposed repairs and ideas and we are confident that is the reason we sold so quickly.
Restyled to Sell was the best decision we made regarding our house and we wished we made this
decision 6 months earlier. I would recommend Restyled to Sell to anyone selling a house!

Dear Phyllis
Thanks for your expertise. I really believe it helped sell the house. We had nothing but compliments
on the house and how it looked decorated.

I cannot thank you enough for how you helped me. I had completely redone my mother's home and
listed it. Everything was brand new and yet no offers. I asked about staging the home with the
realtor and was told it did not matter. Ha, it sat for 6 months with no offers. As the listing expired
I gratefully found you. You came so quickly and staged the home beautifully. You were so easy to
work with. I signed with a new agent you had suggested and within the first 3 hours I had a
contract. For all those people who are on a fence wondering if staging could help, all I can say is
call Phyllis Pafumi of Restyled to Sell, and close on your house now! If I had found you earlier I
would have saved thousands in carrying costs and interest. The most cost effective thing I did was
to find you. You made a believer out of me and many realtors too.
Thank you, thank you, thank you

Hi Phyllis,
Our home sat on the market for 9 months with no offers and the day we left for Greece,
(4 days after staging) while in the airport, we received a phone call from our realtor that we had
an offer. Thanks again,

Dear Phyllis
When people try to sell their house they really have no clue as to what they're doing.
I for one knew my house needed to look better, but didn't really know how to achieve that goal.
Then my agent asked if I'd be interested in hiring someone to "stage" my house. Sure builders hire
someone to stage model homes, but it seemed like nothing more than an added expense.
In reality, hiring you wasn't an expense, it was an investment! Staging made the sale of my house
possible!
I thank you for all the hard work you put into my house. You treated me as if I were your only client
and never once asked for anything more than the original price you quoted. Because of your work,
I was able to get a price greater than what I had originally asked for. Thus, proving the money spent
was an investment not just another expense. Thanks again.
