Why and How We Stage

In today’s Technology age, it is so important to present a strong virtual front on each home for sale. This is a three step process. First, we ask our seller’s to de-clutter. This is removing all personal items like photos, keepsakes and anything of high value. Second, we introduce a bold color. By bringing natural light into the home and adding a pop of red or yellow, it gives the eye something to rest on rather than a blank, tan canvas. Finally, we hire a professional photographer. Photographers that focus on homes specifically understand how to take advantage of the natural light, find the best angle and use a wide angle lens to capture the entire room.

I am constantly seeing frantic posts online about 'need a crew member today'! 'Looking to hire someone on the spot!' During our housing recession, many people got out of the business and they have not returned With the frustration of contracts backed up and losing 2 months of work time, they are also facing a shortage of basic supplies.
