Home Staging Cedar Park - Austin
Before becoming a Realtor, I have 16-years experience in home furnishing and interior design and will assist you in all home staging activities to get your home ready for the market.

Expert home staging is a proven tactic for improved sale metrics which means more money to the Seller. Home Staging improves sales metrics including fewer days on the market, higher selling price and consumer satisfaction. If your goal is to sell your home quick, having a well-planned home staging strategy is an imperative.
Look at home staging to create generic style for the home in the same way a public relations firm promotes an entertainer. If creating a style draws more positive publicity to a public figure, home staging creates a better visual image of the home when being shown on the open market.
Preparing the home for market is an enjoyable experience and allows the owner to apply their experience of living in the home to the sales process. Together, we work to get a premium offer for your home sale. So, for less time on the market and higher price, here are low-cost tips for home staging in Cedar Park, Austin.
Curb Appeal.
Curb Appeal ChecklistCurb appeal is your first chance to create a great first impression on buyers before they enter your home. The pluses and minuses that jump out at buyers shape their first thoughts about your home and how you keep up your home's regular maintenance. Understanding this assists us in determining what plan of action we can use to invite buyers from the street and into your home. If your home's exterior isn't as neat as possible with refreshed paint and blooming garden plants it's time to get those things done. Follow the Curb Appeal Checklist and increase your home's final selling price.

Welcome to our new home! Home Checklist
Does your home seem to say; "This is your next Home" to the buyer? Touring your property with a critical eye, I'll suggest changes that enhance sales appeal. I'll advise you eliminate anything that gives the appearance of clutter. Table and counter tops should be neatly arranged. Brick-a-brack, souvenirs, family photos, and play time works of art should get stored away too. You need to "generalize" the house so buyers can picture it as their new house.
Every room gets a once-over. I'll note the pieces of furniture that should be rearranged, rooms that need new paint, rugs needing to be changed, fixtures that need brightening, and any other improvement that can inexpensively be made to positively impact the sale.
Setting the Stage
During your Open House, we want to engage the buyer's senses. Dark living areas can really dampen a buyer's spirits, so we'll do things like open curtains and change light bulbs where needed to invite the buyer inside. Together we'll enhance the air of the house with enjoyable music to listen to while guests experience your home and make sure a pleasing fragrance flows throughout your house. We'll add cozy-looking bedspreads, and pillows on your couch and bed. We want buyers to feel like your current house has the potential to be.
