Stage a Star….Simple…Affordable Staging Solutions

Gracious readers have seen that I go on and on (and on and on) about staging your home before putting it on the market. I want to recommend a talented home stager, Teresa Meyer of Stage a Star.  Teresa has been helping home “list-ers” become successful home sellers since 2005.  Teresa’s experience and expertise building didn’t just start in 2005.  She received her accreditation and training with the top real estate staging company “Staged Homes” in Concord, CA. She holds an ASP, Accredited Staging Professional, and is a member of IAHSP, International Association of Home Staging Professionals.  She also has 10+ years as a real estate investor under her belt, so she knows what it takes to get a home sold. Her Average Days on Market is 36!! You read that right! 36! So tell me, why in the world would we NOT be tapping into her creative genius??!

Because of Teresa’s expertise, she has been a featured contributor to WCPO Channel 9 News, The Cincinnati Enquirer, and Home Improvement Magazine.

Teresa and Stage a Star has developed for you a complete and total staging package, always keeping in mind the individual homeowners’ needs and budget. You will receive a 50+ page guide, jammed with tips, checklists, and a “Seller Survival” guide. I’ve seen it! You’re going to love it! 

You just never know when a buyer will decide she is ready to see your home. You may get a 1 or 2 day notice.  Sometimes you get about 15 minutes notice. Rule #1 – Never, Never turn down a showing. Talking with Teresa the other day, she shared one of the tips she gives to sellers.  She suggests homeowners get a basket for the bathroom. Every day, before leaving the house, toss all the hair brushes, mouse, styling products, toothpaste, floss, tweezers, all the items we need to make ourselves pleasant for the public, into the basket, and stuff it under the sink.  Sounds simple, but when you want to sell, need to sell, every little tip that makes life easier for you is a blessing. And, you won’t panic when you get the call from the appointment center letting you know someone just drove by your home and would like to see it….in 15 minutes.

Her consultation package includes a CD Rom with success stories. There are 1 or 2 visit packages to choose from.  She will stage using your furnishings, concentrating of the areas of the home most important to buyers: kitchen, living room, dining room, master bedroom and baths.   Vacant home staging is offered too. Staging a vacant home is critical to getting a home sold! I know from touring with buyers every blemish just jumps out and gives the eagle-eyed buyer too many opportunities to dismiss the home over cosmetic and very minor flaws. Every cobweb stands out, every carpet stain, no matter how small, is magnified.  If you’ve already moved out, I can not overstate the importance of vacant home staging.  Prices will vary of course, depending on what the two of you agree to do.

Now your home is staged, and we need to show it off. I know for a fact many homebuyers will immediately dismiss a home when searching the net for homes to visit, if the online photos are not available from Day one. Teresa has wisely partnered with Jenny Walters Photography. You can view Jenny’s work on the Stage a Star site. You can’t help but be impressed by Jenny’s eye for even the smallest detail. Your home will leap off the computer screen and onto the buyer’s “Must See List”.

Be sure to visit the Stage a Star site and enjoy the before and after gallery. It’s fun to see the transformations. Teresa, Jenny and the rest of The RealCincy Group  look forward to helping you sell.
