Home Staging


You never have a second chance to make a good first impression!

What impression does your home give to the potential buyer?

Prepare your home for sale to get the highest price with the least amount of time on the market with home staging!


Did you know that it just takes three seconds to make a first impression? Within seconds of walking into a house, prospective buyers form an impression and know whether they want to buy the house or not. This initial reaction can make the difference between a swift sale and a house that languishes on the market. Home staging is a unique ‘design to sell’ technique using furnishings, artwork and accessories to create a visual experience and a feeling of emotional warmth that will appeal to the widest range of people. Prospective buyers only know what they see, not the way it’s going to be---which makes staging or ‘setting the scene’ even more critical in marketing properties. They want to imagine themselves living in the house, to clearly see the house and its’ features and not be overwhelmed or distracted by the current homeowners ‘stuff’.

What's Involved

Elite Artistry offers two types of home staging services: Full Service Staging To create maximum buyer appeal, Ellie will prepare, stage and transform the entire home. Each room is evaluated for cleanliness and repairs and then organized to eliminate clutter and excess. Next, style and decor are reexamined. Furniture and accessories are repositioned for proper balance and flow to give the best visual impact. (Vacant or sparse homes are furnished with rental options). Purchases of small ticketed decorative accessories are then made, along with other furnishings to add style and color and to fill empty spaces. The project will be completed with a few finishing touches (i.e.; inviting scents, music, lighting) to create the perfect ambience for the first showing. Home Staging Consultation This walk through consultation of your entire house is perfect for the do-it-yourselfer. The consultation begins with an evaluation of the exterior home. Suggestions and adjustments are made to enhance curb appeal. Next the interior is evaluated in which cosmetic repairs and styling tips are addressed to bring out the home's strengths.

Why Stage Your Home?

Staging has become the secret weapon of real estate agents and their savvy clients because the ultimate goal of staging is getting the house sold at the best possible price in the least amount of time. Homebuilders have been successfully using this technique for years. Research shows model homes sell faster than vacant homes and typically sell for more.
