Seattle Home Girl is an Accredited Staging Professional Real Estate Agent. Amy has been trained by the inventor of Home Staging herself- Barb Schwartz. Staging works! Homes that are Staged sell faster in a slow market and sell for more money in a hot market. Home Staging is preparing a house for sale. Staging is not decorating. Staging de-personalizes the house, de-clutters the house, and transforms the house into a product for sale in the Real Estate marketplace. Staging is part of the integrity pricing plan guaranteed by Seattle Home Girl. Find out more about listing your house with Seattle Home Girl.

B) Start Packing, Painting and Patching.

Begin to De-personalize your home. You are moving- so start packing! All the stuff in your home has value and meaning to you. It means nothing to the buyer. Begin to pack away personal belongings, collections, family photos, knick knacks, and valuables. Seattle Home Girl will help you select furniture, wall hangings, and other staging tools for use in staging and selling the home. The rest should be packed up!

Paint and Patch. Seattle Home Girl will help you decide which walls need new paint. Painting is by far the least expensive and most effective Staging tool for selling a home. Light colors work best and create an open feeling in the home. Save bright or deep colors for small powder rooms or accent walls. Patch up holes in the wall and repair all those little things you never got to while living in your home! Buyers are spending lots of money to buy your home- they don’t want to repair anything! By painting and patching you create a feeling of newness in the house- Buyer’s love new things!

C) Stage your Home and Sell it with Seattle Home Girl

Seattle Home Girl works with you, the seller, to stage your home. You will transform your home to a house to a product to sell in the Real Estate marketplace. Focus on first impressions.
