Staging Your Home on a Budget

  SAN RAMON, CA - 10/19/2017 (PRESS RELEASE JET)

Three Anchors Designs, a staging and design company based out of San Ramon California, offers staging services throughout the East Bay.

With the emergence of many local resources, Three Anchors Designs can help you stage your home using existing furniture as well as help you source pieces to improve the look and style of your home at a low cost. Selling a home can be an overwhelming task and the importance of staging a home should not be overlooked.  Three Anchors Designs’ personal approach takes the pressure off the client and is dedicated to achieving maximum value for the home.

According to Realtor.com, on average, staged homes sell 88% faster and for 20% more than non-staged homes. While the amount of homes for sale in the bay area market have decreased, the demand is still high meaning, home owners stand to gain due to supply and demand.  A well-staged property will set the home apart and maximize the value prospective buyers are willing to pay.

Staging on a budget consists of various steps. First, take the time to examine the different areas of your home.  In most cases, when it comes to staging, less is more.  A difficult thing for most home owners is the process of de-cluttering.  A home owner must detach themselves from the emotional ties they might have and start to think of their home as a showroom.  PODS are a great resource for storing items on your existing property.  Second, you want to arrange your existing furniture in such a way that provides maximum traffic flow.  Remember that every room has a purpose and the pieces you use should make it easily identifiable. Third, source necessary pieces that won’t break the bank from local stores such as Home Goods.  It’s amazing what you can find at low cost that make a big impact on the overall look and feel of the home.  Distressed furniture is the modern trend and a great way for families with children to maintain a trendy space without the stress and worry of marks or scratches.  Fourth, DIY.  Painting walls in fresh, natural colors, particularly in lighter shades of blue and pale gray, not only make a home feel larger, but also are neutral enough to help future buyers envision themselves living in the space.  Fifth, accessorize your spaces using greenery and trendy pieces. Home Goods, Marshalls, Target, Hobby Lobby, etc. are great resources for adding style at a low cost.  Sixth, you want to make sure your home is clean.  This not only improves the look of the home, it also gives buyers a positive impression of a well-kept, maintained home.

“I am sympathetic to the fact that a seller might not have cash on hand to spend on high cost items to stage their home,” states Owner, Brooke Topete.  “My job, while staging on a budget, is to share my industry knowledge and to work with my Clients so that they learn through the process and hopefully, can take from what I share and carry that over into their future home.”
