What is Home Staging?

Official Definition

“Real Estate Staging is the act of preparing and showcasing the residential or commercial property for sale. It is a systematic and coordinated methodology in which knowledge of real estate, home renovations and creative design principles are applied to attract a buyer.

Preparing property includes all or part of cleaning, de-cluttering, updating and repairing, while showcasing is the process of arranging furniture, accessories, art and light.

Whether the property is owner-occupied or vacant, staging is recommended before listing a property. It can be equally effective after the property has been on the market for an extended period unsold.”

Starr understood my design preferences and used her sourcing skills, not only to save me time, but to find me the perfect accessories to make my redesign come together. She helped me de-clutter my space, show case my favorite accessories, thereby creating a welcoming, comfortable living space. I highly recommend this energetic, interior stylist.
