Home Staging Consultation
Home staging is the process of preparing and styling a home for sale and presenting it in its most appealing state. As a homeowner, you only get one chance to make a good first impression to a broad range of buyers. Is your home ready for its closeup?
We can help sell your home faster
Real estate data continually indicates that staged homes sell for more money and in less time, often resulting in tens of thousands of more dollars in your (the seller’s) pocket. You will close on your home sooner than expected without going through the headache of reducing your home’s sale price. The initial investment you make in home staging increases the profit you will make on the sale.
How it works
Phone Consultation
Call us in advance of listing your home for sale ─ it is never too soon to call. The Edit Interiors team asks you about your ideal timeline for closing, the condition of your current home, and where you need the most assistance with those potential “problem areas” that buyers will notice.
In-person Appointment
We walk through and perform a full review of your home ─ from its outside “curb appeal” and backyard to every interior space. We provide a comprehensive written report with an actionable plan that details improvements. These include everything from no-cost or low-cost tasks that can be completed swiftly to essential repairs ideally done by professionals, all with the end goal of maximizing your home’s appeal. We provide you with expert advice and help rectify any obstacles to a successful sale.
We aim to work with the furniture and accessories you already have (if not outdated) so your listing photos are styled and uncluttered. When necessary, we facilitate and coordinate furniture rentals for an agreed-upon duration to create the desired look for today’s buyers. Typical furniture rental agreements are two or three months to ensure enough time to photograph, list, show, and close on a property.
Connection to Local Realtors®
Our team will connect you with a top local agent if you haven’t already hired one. Listing your home on the Multiple Listing Service is not enough. You need a dedicated agent working as your advocate to promote the sale of your home, liaise with buyers’ agents, negotiate the final price, and be there to guide you through the entire closing process.
We welcome calls from Realtors®
As a real estate agent, you are on the road at showings with clients, hosting open houses, fielding offers, negotiating terms, preparing CMAs, and coordinating numerous property transactions on any given day. Let the team at Edit Interiors help! Once you secure a listing, we can work with your clients directly to prepare their homes for sale, saving you time and effort. Let us focus on the staging so you can begin the work of marketing their property. It’s a win-win.
“As a Realtor®, it’s great having Joanna as a trusted go-to design expert to collaborate with. She staged my listing on the North Shore and it went under contract in one day. This would not have been possible without her excellent eye for design and styling."
"She’s also helped me with finishing selections on homes that I’ve flipped as well as custom whole-house remodels with clients. Joanna is very meticulous and thorough. She always knows exactly where we are with the punch list, scheduling contractors and is very good at communication with the client. Clients and contractors alike are thrilled to have Joanna by their side to help make the right design decisions for their homes!”
