Home styling: refresh your home without the big price tag.
February 12th, 2021


Home staging is all the rage in the real estate world. It's about making a property appealing to a broader range of potential buyers to command top dollar. The best stylers have a warehouse full of furniture and accessories that they can bring into an empty property to make it look like you just walked into a magazine shoot.

Styling is re-arranging what is currently in an occupied home, decluttering and adding a few details to make it come alive. Styling also allows the home to appeal to a wide range of buyers and increase the sale price of the property, but without the hefty price tag.
I recently worked on a 4 bedroom 3 bath home in the Rio Vista neighborhood of Fort Lauderdale. This home that had been lived in by the same family for over 20 years, and needed a lot of decluttering, and little love.
The result: the home sold in 3 days, at a record-breaking price per square foot and an ROI of over 3 to 1 of what the seller would otherwise have gotten. The price tag? Less than a third of what staging would have cost. Check it out.
