    In this picture: Great use of mirrors to add reflection and additional light to the flat walls. 
     
    Dark walls will absorb light and light walls reflect it.  Keeping this in mind will be important when designing the rooms lighting plan.

    SOLD in only 15 days!

     
    What a way to stand out from the 91 homes (in the same price range) already on the market and still on the market 6 weeks later! And that's in Keller only.   
     
    Next week this family is relocating to Austin and so happy there won't be months of commuting back and forth!  They will also have time to get settled in their new home and help the kids adjust before school starts back up. 
     
    One of the pluses of preparing a home for the market is all the pre-packing that is done and out of the way, not to mention when they arrive at their new home if they don't have time to get to all of the boxes immediately they easily know which ones to unpack first!
     
     
    “In today’s sluggish housing market, homeowners shouldn’t even consider
    putting their home on the market
    without hiring a professional to give their house the “wow” factor”.
     
     
     
     
    STATISTICS FOR HOME STAGING
               • Non-staged homes were on the market an average 30.9 days. 
               • Staged homes typically sell in less than half the time.
               • Staged homes average 5-10% more than the asking price.
              • Most homes can be staged without spending a lot of money.
     
    The art of Design to "SELL" is looking at a room with a different perspective than the decorating eye,  simply decluttering and depersonalizing often lead to sterile environments.
