Why Home Staging is So Important in Today's 1. Over 80% of home buyers decide from internet photos whether to view a home. 2. Staged homes appeal to a broader range of buyers, and are seen as move-in ready. Cole House Design will work with as much of the current furniture and home decor items as possible. We only recommend additional items to be purchased or rented, when absolutely necessary. We cater to all budgets no matter the size, and we can easily adhere to strict timelines.

3. A clean, uncluttered look visually increases the size of a space, and makes a home look more up-to-date.
4. By depersonalizing, a buyer can make an emotional connection and begin visualizing themselves living there.
5. First impressions are formed in 60 seconds or less, and visual appeal from the front door or curb, has a huge impact on a buyer.
6. By dealing with repairs and maintenance during the staging of a home, buyers find less reason to make a low ball offer.
7. Attractive homes create more Realtor interest, resulting in more showings.
8. Buyers only know what they see, not the way it could be. Thus the reason why vacant homes, take twice as long to sell.
9. Staged homes are more appealing in ads and on websites. As a Realtor, wouldn't you want to be known for your beautiful listings?
10. Studies prove that staged homes sell for more money and in a shorter period of time. Do you need any other reason to stage?
Home Staging for Sellers
Cole House Design begins with an initial consultation of the home from the front curb through every room in the home. Recommendations will be given regarding decluttering, repairs, cleaning, painting, furniture layout, accessories, curb appeal, etc.
A detailed written report will be left with the client, and from there it can be decided whether:
Rental Furniture & Accessories
Cole House Design has access to everything needed to stage either a vacant house, or simply add the finishing touches to a client's home.
We strive to have rental furniture delivered to your door typically within 72 hours, and this includes free set-up once inside. Quote available upon request.
Staging for Builders & Flippers
For most buyers today, they need help imagining a house becoming a home. Vacant houses are unappealing and empty. They make it hard for buyers to get proper perspective on scale and room size, and most assume an empty house is smaller than it actually is.
Cole House Design partners with builders and house flippers to provide rental furniture and staging throughout the home. We can also assist buyers in staging their current properties, so the transaction can go much faster.
