Meet Lori One Savvy Move was launched by Lori Gilmore in response to her personal real estate experiences. As a life long real estate junkie, Lori could be found touring open houses for fun, pouring over shelter magazines such as Dwell, Metropolitan Home and Atomic Ranch, and endlessly discussing local housing developments, renovation projects, home sale prices and real estate trends with anyone who would listen...And so came One Savvy Move! The Magic of Staging
Remember back to the last time you went house hunting. It can be a daunting and exhausting experience. You meet your agent, who excitedly tells you about the homes scheduled for the day. They all sound fantastic. You set out with hope and optimism that today you find a new "home". But with each stop, your optimism wanes. The decor needs updating, the tile is cracked the countertops are just plain ugly! You think about all the work it will take to make this a home you love. Love, that is the key to a home purchase. When you enter a home and fall in love, the search is over. Most people begin a home search in a logical fashion. They come armed with a list of things they really want in a new home, but when the heart becomes involved, all bets are off!! Offers are made when a buyer falls in love with a home. An expert can turn your home into one that will capture the hearts of buyers. In addition to creating that "this is home" feeling, a home stager can quickly identify necessary updates and repairs that will maximize the selling price of your home. A staging expert can be objective about your home— evaluating with the eye of a highly critical buyer and finding solutions with the eye of an experienced home stager! Professional home stagers quickly develop a plan to get your home showing ready. They can give you the plan to do the work yourself, or manage the entire process for you. What are the biggest misperceptions about home staging? Staging is lighting some candles and putting a pie in the oven I've watched some home fix-up TV shows and I can do this myself Staging is expensive Staging is about renting a lot of high-end furniture and filling the house with accessories Staging requires remodeling Staging is about covering up the weaknesses of a property for sale Staging is “fooling” the buyer into paying more money for the property than they should
This is a great tip!
Staging as a Tax Deduction
In many cases, Home Staging fees, as well as other expenses incurred when preparing your home for sale, are tax deductible. Consult your tax advisor for specific details.
