After evaluating your home, the Splendid Source Interiors Action Plan may recommend making some very specific changes, which are referred to as “Home Staging”. Home Staging is a decorating philosophy that has experienced tremendous growth over the last several years because of its effectiveness. In September 2006, MSNBC reported that the average time on the market for a staged home was 1.5 months, versus 4.5 months for a home that was not staged.

Unlike traditional decorating, Home Staging is not focused on reflecting the personal style of the homeowner. In fact, it’s intentionally focused to NOT reflect personal style at all. The goal is to create an environment in which potential buyers can visualize their belongings - in which they can visualize living. |

|
The recommendations may include de-cluttering rooms, creating vignettes, and re-positioning furniture to create spaciousness and emphasize focal points. In some instances, a home can benefit from new furnishings, because it either doesn’t have enough furnishings or doesn’t have the right style of furnishings. With Splendid Source Interiors on the job, you can have just the right pieces for your home without spending a fortune and without running all over town, because we carry a substantial inventory of furnishings for exactly these situations. And, of course, this can make a significant difference if your home is vacant. |

Staging speeds up sales in a sluggish market and
can bump up prices 2-10% in a moderate market.

Home Staging: simply the merchandising of a
house to capture the hearts and bids of potential buyers
Jackie Williams
Homeowner
“Splendid Source staged my home that I put on the market to sell. It needed new carpet and paint and Splendid Source selected the perfect colors. They did such a FABULOUS job that the first person that looked at my house bought it! I highly recommend Splendid Source to help others to sell their homes quickly. Using Splendid Source really makes a difference. They did an AMAZING job and I was very satisfied!”
Sherry Bilder
Homeowner
“Selling homes was not an unusual event for me; in fact, I had done so 6 times over the last 15 years. But my last sale was different. I had relocated to Florida, and found myself with the challenge of selling my property in Georgia as a vacant house. I had always been advised that a vacant home would not show / sell as well as a furnished one. Luckily, my real estate agent had the answer for me. She recommended that I contact a company to "stage" or furnish the home.
Splendid Source came in quickly, staged with furniture and accessories, and made the house look absolutely beautiful! I received a purchase contract on the house in only 3 weeks....much faster than I had gotten contracts on previous sales with my own furnishings (and clutter)!
Thank you, Splendid Source, for making the difference!” |
