Home Staging Without Selling

Posted by jm on May 10, 2006 10:43 AM

Tired of your current space? But hesitant about committing to a drastic change?

Why not consider hiring a home staging expert...even though you have no intention of moving?

When Aaron and I were selling our condo in Evanston, we got lucky. Our agent, Ed Watts, had a good eye. He was able to give us staging advice along with home selling help. We moved some clutter out, moved some furniture around, freshened up some things. After he was done with our guest room/home office, I fell in love with the place all over again. By moving the bed and desk into positions that had originally seemed counter-intuitive to me, we had so much more space!

I wish we had set up everything that way while we were still living there. Our condo had never looked better.

So, I'm thinking...why do we wait to do these things? Why do we wait until we want to SELL a house to pull out the stops and create the little changes that could make a big difference? Do home stagers work with folks who actually want to stay in their house? I have no idea. Just a thought.
