During the Real Estate Association Convention back in January, I had the pleasure of meeting and sharing ideas with Cathy Hobbs of Design Recipes. Cathy is an Emmy Award-winning TV host and a nationally known interior design and home staging expert. A great article by Cathy was featured in the Saturday (2/28) Real Estate section of the Democrat & Chronicle talking about whether you should rent furniture for staging. Below are some highlights from the article that really stand out.
“When it comes to home staging, it isn’t about how much money you spend, but about creating the right atmosphere to entice buyers. The reality is most buyers need an emotional trigger, an internal reaction that prompts them to make an offer on a home.”
“Additionally, if you are marketing your home to younger buyers and your furniture is old and outdated, renting furniture that will create a look that will appeal to your target buyer is key.”
Act Two Home Staging has a full inventory of furniture, accessories and artwork that are available to rent when staging a home for sale. Below are a few pieces from our inventory.
