About Becoming Designs:

• Home Staging is the visual art of preparing a home to sell. It helps a potential buyer to visualize the space as if they could live in the home themselves.

• First impressions are made within the first 30 seconds!

• Statistics have shown that staged homes typically sell quicker & for closer to the asking price than non-staged homes.

on market

Our study includes 126 vacant and occupied homes (not staged) previously

on the market an average of 263 days unsold. Those same homes were

staged and sold in 60 days on average after staging.

This is 78% less time on the market.

According to this study, had those homeowners staged their house first before placing on the market, they could have cut their time on the market on average by 7 months, saving them over $14,700 worth of expenses such as: mortgage, utility expenses, etc.

• The process: First assessment, then de-cluttering, de-personalizing, room editing & space planning

• Becoming Designs helps the homeowner by offering an analysis of the home through both a verbal & a written assessment as well as hands-on labor support to make the changes.

• The end result should remove the personal elements but never the personality!

• The goal is to take the focus off of personal belongings & directed to the architecture

How to increase the value of a home’s potential:

Setting the Stage • Buying a home is partially psychological. The feeling and emotion that are

evoked in a house will determine if a home owner can envision living there themselves.

• Visual clutter is a distraction. If the furniture is not placed properly, the artwork is all hung too high, accessories have no common thread, then the feel of the house will not appeal & therefore the architecture will be overlooked!

Why is this? The return of your investment with home staging is far less than your first markdown!

When selling a car, we first clean it, remove trash and personal belongings and often even detail it. This is for the sale of an $8,000 used car so that we get the best value for it.

Yet, when selling the biggest purchase of most people’s lives, little to no investment on

improvements and upgrades are made.

Becoming Designs Goal: *To become an asset that enhances your clients home by partnering in expediting the selling process.

*I believe in honoring & validating your sellers by adding value to their home.

*Remember! Once a house is on the market, it becomes a piece of merchandise sitting on shelf with a lot of other products just like it.
