...do average home sellers need to spend hundreds of dollars to hear someone tell them to hide their junk and paint the walls ecru? And besides, can't today's savvy buyers look beyond the superficial to spot a true gem?...................."Very few people are vision people, and that goes for both sellers and buyers"........."A buyer will form an opinion within 90 seconds, and if they see a cluttered apartment that is not arranged very well, their mind sort of shuts down."
"A Little Style Works. Just Not Yours." by Vivian Marino

Why would I put money & effort into my old home rather than the new one I am purchasing?
Showing a home "as is" or with too many maintenance and other issues is like throwing your profit away. You need to earn back your equity so you have more to invest in your new home! Would you detail your car if you were offering it for sale? Then think of Home Staging as detailing for your best asset with the most equity!

I am selling my home and not my things so why is the condition and layout of my furniture so important?
If buyers enter a dark, crowded space with worn furnishings, they will expect a "neglected", small house with no room! Perception is everything when staging a house. Highlighting your home's best assets and down-playing the negatives will create a great first impression and bring you one step closer to an offer!
How can I maintain the Staging in my home during the selling process when we are busy with work, kids and pets?
In addition to some pre-planning and clever organizing tricks, there are more products than ever before to keep your chaotic home looking its best. From automatic shower cleaners and air fresheners to hidden under-the-bed storage units, professional ASP™ Home Stagers can show you the tricks to keep your sanity during this hectic but exciting time. Ultimately, it is better to make some temporary life changes to enjoy the permanent benefits of a quicker, more profitable sale.

I don't want to start knocking down walls and replacing all my furniture like they do on those popular cable Home Shows!
Although entertaining, sometimes tv shows do not accurately reflect the Home Staging process. In most cases, a professionally trained Home Stager will use low or no-cost staging ideas to de-clutter and re-energize your home. With some creativity and ingenuity, your walls and furniture will stay put, your clutter will disappear and your home will sparkle!

Isn't Home Staging just for high-end homes?
Home Staging is an equal-opportunity process. It is equally effective for the 800sq.ft. apartment or the million-dollar mansion. Every homeowner can enjoy the benefits of Home Staging and sell their home for top dollar regardless of the listing price.
I don't think I can afford the cost of staging my home.
Think of Home Staging as an investment. You are investing in your new future in your new location and you deserve the most profit possible! With prices starting at $100.00, Cameo Home Staging can work within any budget and do as little or as much as you like. In addition, Home Staging falls under the "advertising" umbrella and can be written off with your Real Estate and other fees. Your investment in Home Staging will always be less than your first price reduction!
