REAL ESTATE STAGING SERVICES...

Professional real estate staging is NEW to northern Ohio.  This exciting new concept can directly affect the sale of your home. As a One Day Decorator we know what people are looking for and how to add that special wow factor that will separate your home from the competition..

Most people are attached to their home. It is a part of your family. Many people are advised to empty their home and fix all the problems in order to sell their home. The problem is that many homeowners don’t know where to start or have a plan to follow. Many homeowners also do not have the time.

At Design By DesAnn, we offer proven techniques through our creativity and the ability to score our customers home with a National Scoring System. The ONLY scoring system in the country!!  Over 200 specific points will be scored about your home.

  welcome home...
 

Homes are still selling!

  1. Make yours the nicest one in your location and price range.
  2. Clean- inside & out. Even the top of Hot-water tank, moss or stains on walk-way, everything.
  3. Clean- windows. Let the sunshine in!

Clutter - Only 10% of the population can visualize.
  1. Will make your space seem small.
  2. Buyer feels uncomfortable-Doesn’t appear you are ready to give up your house.
  3. The Shutter effect.
  4. Empty is just like cluttered.

Non-Style specific
  1. Take the neutral road…Not Country, Not modern, Not Early American.
  2. Your “product” needs to appeal to the masses.
  3. Showcase your Architectural style. Stay true to the “product”.

Lights & mechanicals
  1. Consider a Pre-Inspection-No surprises.
  2. Front door lock & lighting in good/clean working order.
  3. All faucets in good/clean working order, fresh caulk around tub & shower, clean hot water tank.

Remodeling/Updating
  1. Kitchens & baths sell houses
  2. Invest in the right projects that will make you the most in return. DO NOT over-do.
  3. The power of Paint®, new carpet, new hardware & light fixtures.

Think like the BUYER!
  1. Who is your buyer? First-time, Down-sizing, Single Professional, Family?? Know your competition!

Buyer Process
  1. Location
  2. Price
  3. Internet photos and/or newspaper ads
  4. Curb appeal
  5. Main entry way
  6. 1st. Step WOW FACTOR-Must have them at hello!
  7. 1st. Impression-Last impression.

Biggest Mistakes
  1. NO easy fixes! If you think it is easy than do it! Don’t give them easy reductions!
  2. Not packing for move & storing OFF premises when ever possible.
  3. NOT making ANY investment-For every SMART $1 spent you have a $3 return.
  4. Only going half way…follow through.
  5. NOT working with a Certified Professional Stager. Design/Decorating is NOT Staging.

DesAnn in The Cleveland Plain Dealer-Feature Story On April 13, 2008

We offer the following services for real estate staging. As always we will tailor make a plan for our customers needs also.

Vacant Home staging assessment

We will determine the homes needs, whether that is taking down wallpaper or renting furniture. We access the homes needs and return a report to client or Realtor® that makes specific suggestions, per room. We will also provide a proposal for Design By DesAnn LLC to Stage the home for them.


Economy Package

“Walk-through” with client staging consultation, 2 hour limit of our services. We will walk through the home, room by room, with staging suggestions for home-owner. We will “green tag” areas or specific furniture that may need to be moved, and or de-cluttered. We also will include suggestions for curb appeal and other yards.

Homeowner will receive from us our 5/5Action® report at conclusion of consultation.

Sell this home-consultation

Includes: “ACTION” and N.S.S. scoring systems to be used when evaluating your homes needs, also digital photographs and written notes will be performed during first part of consultation at property that is or will be for sale. ( 1st visit is usually 1 hour ).Home owner than receives a return report within 72 hours. A plan of “ACTION” will be included to address any issues if needed. The home owner than has the option to implement the plan themselves or Design By DesAnn can be hired for any extra work that may need to be done. Once the plan of “ACTION” has been completed Design By DesAnn will come back to the property and stage two public rooms with furniture placement and accessories. Truly transforming what you own.
