Read a real-life testimonial from a VNTG client.

According to staging statistics, an unstaged home is guaranteed to feel colder and less welcoming, maybe even to the point of a no-sale even if it checks all the wish list boxes.

The golden rule of home staging is more important than ever before in 2021. Everyone is building a more personal relationship with their home and need to be able to picture it nice and cozy for themselves.

Imagine this—your property went “Active” in the MLS last night. It’s 4:30 pm on the first full day on-market, and you’re sitting at your dining room table with your REALTOR® who has just set two signed offers in front of you—one set to close in a month, the other for over asking price! It’s the dream of every home seller, but it doesn't have to be a pipe dream.

Meet our friends, Art and Judy. We met these two lovebirds in September of 2018. They had lived in their beautiful Lyndhurst home for 50 years together, raising children and filling the home with love and laughter. Judy still clearly remembers the day she found the lot, called the builder, and designed the home that they would live in. But after all that time, with their children grown and scattered across the country, Art and Judy had decided that it was time to move on. When they contacted VNTG Home, they were planning on downsizing to a small apartment, but needed some help with the logistics of cleaning out their old home and getting it sold.

Pattern plays an incredibly important role in home décor. Having a room full of all solid colors might sound like a safe bet if you’re an amateur decorator but it can leave the space feeling stale and boring. Throwing in some patterns can breathe new life into a home that seems to be lacking in energy, but pattern mixing can get out of hand if you’re not careful. Here’s some tips on what to do, and what not to do, when you are decorating with patterns.

Many people, in the prime of their lives and financially stable, will buy themselves a decent sized home in which they raise a family or enjoy their space in whatever way they desire. Life always brings with it a series of changes, however, and at some point, most will need to make a real estate transition. For many, that transition comes in their old age, when they need to move into a facility that can provide them with more care than their family is capable of handling.

Interior design is definitely a delicate art form. We want to decorate our homes to not only be aesthetically pleasing, but also functional for what we intend to use it for. Additionally, styles are always changing and its hard to know if the look you love is going to stand the test of time. Well, just about everything will go out of style at some point.

There are a lot of factors that people consider when they’re purchasing a home. Often, they’re looking for specific features of a house in the right area and have a prioritized checklist of what they want. But one of the most important factors that people consider when they’re looking at houses is: can they see themselves living there? One incredibly influential thing you can do to help home buyers envision themselves in your home is to properly stage it.
