SUBSCRIBE TO NEW CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC92R62vyYg0nG_Z042fLk5A Quotable from this video: "it's a temporary solution to the naked wall and when you're ready to remove, just detach the frame then pull the foam tab to release the Command Hanging Strips" - @ToriTothStager In this video I wanted to share with you a wall art product I always use in my home stagings. You can find it in most hardware or big box stores and it not only saves time, but it can save your walls from a bunch of holes. The product is command picture hanging strips. This is one of the simplest ways to decorate your walls that's quick and easy. And the best part you don't have to worry about nail holes, cracked plaster or any sticky residue. So this product comes in different sizes, Small command strips hold most 8" x 10" frames, medium strips hold most 18" x 24" frames and large strips hold most 24" x 36" frames. The varying sizes allow can hold up to 4 pounds. Take these weight restrictions seriously and use the proper size so your wall art doesn't fall and get damaged. Okay so let me show you how they work: First seperate the strips and attach the fastners together until your hear them snap. Then remove one of the liners and place the strip on your frame sticky side down. Apply the command strips to the other side of the frame, as well. Check the box to determine how many strips are needed for your wall art. Then remove the other liner and place on the wall pushing securely. Then remove the first layer of the strip and add pressure to the strips on the wall, it's recommended to leave alone for one hour before attaching the frame to the wall strip. This product is amazing for staging because it provides a temporary solution to the naked wall and when you're ready to remove, just detach the frame then pull the foam tab to release the strip....and your wall is still in perfect condition. The command picture hanging strips is just one of several damage free hanging products this company has, and its great for decorating, especially for a photo gallery wall or like I did here with these light weight mirrors. So make sure to try the strips or if your project requires their hooks and clips too.

Do you feel one way over another when you see a color? How about do you have trouble choosing a color? Whether your selling your home or staying put this video is for you to help discover the perfect colors to use in your home....we're talking about the pyshcology used behind color. There are so many colors to choose from just look at this giant paint index I found in May 2015 HGTV magazine. These are some of the popular colors being used in the home today. I love them all!!! So, the psychology of color is based on the mental and emotional effects it has on a person and this is important to get right in your home because the colors surrounding you can have direct effect on your mood and affect decisions made everyday. As you may already know there are warm colors and cool colors to choose from. Warm colors can instantly grab someone's attention. Red can raise someone's heart rate and make someone more accurate when it comes paying attention to details. Trying using this color to direct a buyer's eye to a positive feature in your home. Yellow can instantly lift someone's spirits and make a house feel warm and inviting, however, a little goes a long way try using it as gold accents in your decor or use yellow pops of flowers, pillows or curtains in a dark room to cheer up the space. Cool colors can make a room more relaxing and are great to use in certain areas of the home. Blue is a soothing color and should be used to create a calming bedroom or spa like bathroom. Just make sure to pick the right shade some blues can actually make a room feel cold and uninviting. Greens also have there spot on the color wheel as providing balance. This color reminds many of nature so it can be used as neutral, it's a refreshing color that also promotes wealth. Try adding greenery, around your home to bring life into the space. You can paint a bathroom or living room green to create a tranquil and harmonious space. Neutral colors are also important to use in a space to break up other colors and let the eye rest. In my home we painted the living room blue and the office yellow, but in between the two rooms i decided to use a neutral color to break up the color palettes while still making the overall space feel cohesive. Whites can give a space the feeling of innocence, cleanliness and purity...this color is very big to use in contemporary spaces. While black promotes authority,power and strength, be careful though because too much black can becoming depressing, almost devilish and remind some of death. Don't forget the combo of both these colors, grey is a hot neutral being used right now in homes, it's a timeless color that is pratical and can provide the perfect background for any color. What is your favorite color in your home? Make sure to tell me in the comment section below and if you haven't done so already, please subscribe to our channel to watch all our color videos.

HOME STAGING CLASS FOR AGENTS SIGN UP: https://bit.ly/stage2sellRE The Stage 2 Sell Strategy (DIY COURSE FOR SELLERS) https://stage2sellstrategy.com/stage-2-sell/ Real Estate Staging Association Reports: http://www.realestatestagingassociation.com/content.aspx?page_id=22&club_id=304550&module_id=164548 ******************************** Welcome to part 1 of a 4 part video series called Agent Meet Stager – where I'm going to share with you tools to help educate your sellers on the cost, process and effective tips to get your listings prepared for sale. So, make sure to subscribe right here to be the first to know when these videos are released. When I asked real estate agents what they wanted to know most about when it came to home staging…cost was a question. So, let's start there. According to Real Estate Staging Association's National Home Staging Statistics Report…unstaged homes spend on average 184 days on market before staging. Once staged those same homes sold on average in 41 days. Now homes that were staged prior to hitting the market sold on average 23 days, so if you stage your properties first, you'll spend about 90% less time on market. When you spend less time on the market you're also saving money. Let's do the math. If you're mortgage is $2400 and you have additional expenses of let's say $1,000 your total carrying costs on the home per month is $3400. Now, those unstaged homes that are on the market for 184 days unsold or roughly 6 months you end up paying $20,400. If those homeowners were staged first and sold on average in 23 days or 1 month it would only cost the homeowner $3400. So, the total saved if you stage a home first is $17,000….that's a huge chunk of money to keep in your client's pocket. Ok, that's the value of home staging, but, you maybe thinking how much does staging actually cost. That varies on where you live, the size of the home and it's condition, plus what service you decide to choose. The Real Estate Staging Association has a pricing breakdown that factors in all these issues, I've added a link in the description box below to check it out. But, the report says: For a 2 hour walk and talk consultation the cost varies between $200 to $800 depending on the home's square footage and agents pay 89% of the time for this service. A written consultation cost from $225 to $1500 again depending on the home's square footage because it take up to 5 hours to create an action plan for the home. Agents pay for this service 79% of the time. If the seller is living in the home while on the market, stagers will use their belongings to prepare the home for sale. Again square footage plays a role in pricing that costs between $776 and $6900. In the process you may also need some of the stagers rental accessories that can cost up to $600. Now our company The Stage 2 Sell Strategy costs a fraction of this price for owner-occupied home by teaching the sellers how to stage themselves. I'll provide a link below to learn more about the different pricing options we have and how you can provide to your sellers for FREE. Staging a vacant space of course is the most expensive because you have to bring everything in to make it feel at home. This investment ranges between $1995 and $8500 on average. High-end properties and areas may cost more. Most sellers pay for this service. How about this home in the west village…i was floored when i talked with the realtor. This 1 bed, 1 bath home was listed at $580,000 it was on the market 8 months with no buyer interest. Once we staged the space the realtor decide to relist higher at $600,000. The home sold in 5 days, had multiple offers which drived the price up and it sold for $645,000…this home generated $65,000 more for the seller….and all she spent on the staging was $5,000….not bad right? ********************************** Get my free Real Estate Realities Guide here: http://toritoth.com/sellerguide More about working with Tori: http://toritoth.com ********************************** Feel at Home: Home Staging Secrets for a Quick and Easy Sell by Tori Toth ORDER YOUR COPY: http://www.feelathomebook.com ************************ Let's Get Social! ************************ Website: http://www.toritoth.com Subscribe to my channel here: https://www.youtube.com/stylishstagers Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/toritothstager Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/toritothstager Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/homestagingtips Pinterest: http://www.pinterest.com/toritothstager Periscope: @toritothstager Leave me a comment to ask any question or contact me through my website if you'd like to see if I can help you.

If you can still use the items, but not during the showings then I suggest to get packing.

The finish has began to chip, dull ---it's basically seen better days. That's why we're going to freshen up it's look with spray paint. What you'll need for this project is an electric sander and sandpaper in varying grits to get into the hard to reach places. A wire brush, acetone, soap and water, Rust-Oleum primer, a color of your choice to spray paint and Rust-Oleum's protective gloss finish. Start by removing any loose pieces of rust with a wire brush. Then use an electric sander to remove the rest of the rust. Use sandpaper to get into hard to reach areas. Sand until smooth. On the surface is prepared it's time to clean the furniture with a solvent like acetone or you can use soap and water to make sure the entire surface is clean. Once the surface dries, spray the furniture evenly with the primer. Avoid drips and overspraying by using short strokes about 6 inches away from the item. Don't forget to cover all sides of the furniture. Next, repeat this process with your colored spray paint, we chose Bronze, to match other furniture in our yard. Spray two coats to completely cover the pieces and make sure to follow the label's directions about drying time. Finally, spray the protective finish on the furniture to increase the longevity of this DIY project and a shine. And wall-ah this furniture set, looks brand new and is ready for entertaining.

Home Staging your closets. You open your closet door, items fall out to the floor in front of your feet, have you had that happen before? Well your closets cluttered and disorganized mess isn't helping you if your trying to sell your home. We all know buyers open closets, they want to check out the square footage their buying, so do them a favor and wow them by doing the organizational tasks on this list before your next open house. Click link for list: https://acrobat.com/app.html#d=yy*EInBR5YJpD97m2Tanug For more information on home staging contact Tori Toth at [email protected], or call 888.667.6643.
You know sellers and real estate agents are always asking me how much does home staging cost? Or can you give me an estimate on this space? Home staging doesn't have to always be expensive, it just depends on the lifestyle you're trying to obtain and what is already in the home you can work with. Every home is unique, so the cost of home staging is going to vary depending on what the home needs to be show ready...is it vacant? Then you will need to rent furniture and accessories. Is it outdated? Then you are going to need vendors like a contractor or paint to come in and make repairs. Do you just need to declutter or rearrange furniture? Then maybe you only need a stager for a few hours. On average, home staging can cost anywhere from 1 to 3 percent of the sales price depending on the condition of the home. So on a $500,000 home the staging could cost about 5000 dollars. Now you may be saying tori I'm selling my house because I need money, so I have no money to prepare my home for sale. If I had a dollar for every client who said they had no money. I'd have a lot of dollars. I know home staging is an added cost, but it's also an added value not only to your bottom line, but your marketing budget. If you think that carpet is too expensive to replace or updating the kitchen wont affect your bottom line, you're sadly mistaken. And here is why? If buyers think your home needs major improvements before they can move in they're going to give you a lowball offer if an offer at all. So avoid this by making the necessary repairs and preparations and in most cases you wont only get a return on your investment but you may get even more money than you were expecting. Now I mentioned home staging doesn't have to be expensive, and it really doesn't. We've had several clients take advantage of our camera-ready service for owner occupied homes. This service is when we enter the home up to 2 hours prior to when the photographer arrives to take photos and we stage the main areas of the living spaces, so you have amazing marketing pictures. We use what is already in the home and in some cases will bring in key pieces to stage the space. Just by using what we had we were able to rearrange and declutter this kitchen, formal living room and dining room, his study and family room, even his bedroom. The transformation of these rooms is amazing and the cost of this service starts at 350 dollars. Not bad to get a staged home in a matter or hours with marketable photos to add to your listing. If you're selling your home and need help preparing it for sale, I urge you to take advantage of our camera-ready service...and for all those real estate agents out there this service is a great way to add value to your listing presentations and get amazing photographs to market. And we all know more than 90-percent of home buyers start their searches online, are you going to be added to there must see list? To schedule the camera-ready service please email me at [email protected] and for more home staging tips be sure to check out our video blog at www.toritoth.com.

Agent Meet Stager: How Does Home Staging Work?
Tori is a Home Staging Expert, Trainer & Author. HOME STAGING CLASS FOR AGENTS SIGN UP: https://bit.ly/stage2sellRE The Stage 2 Sell Strategy (DIY COURSE FOR SELLERS) https://stage2sellstrategy.com/stage-2-sell/ ******************************** Hey Tori here with toritoth.com the place to be to create a home buyers or anyone for that matter will find irresistible. Welcome to part 2 of a 4 part video series called Agent Meet Stager – where I'm sharing with you tools to help educate your sellers on the cost, process and effective tips to get your listings prepared for sale. So, make sure you subscribe right here to be the first to know when these videos are released. Many times people assume staging is all or nothing, but that's simply not the case. There are lots of different ways you can work with a home stager to properly prepare a home for sale. We talked about the pricing for these services in the first video that you can watch here, but let's go into detail about what's involved. A home staging consultation is when you hire a stager to enter the home for a short period to assess the space and determine what needs to be completed. The stager will either tell you or write out their findings and usually put a proposal together for further work. You can also do this online in an e-staging consultation by providing the stager photos of the property. A stager may have services where you can hire them for just a few hours to spruce the place before photos or to tell help with a specific project. An owner occupied staging is when the stager will rearrange and remove items, accessorize and sometimes complete small repairs. The stager will usually use what's already in the home, but may also bring in key accessories to update the look. Many times the seller will have homework to complete – like cleaning, packing or organizing items prior to the staging day. A vacant staging is when the stager will rent furniture and accessories to dress up an empty space. They will be there for the delivery and set everything up so it's ready to show off. Stagers may also offer organizing, project management or even design services you can take advantage of. Now, I believe every home needs some staging. Sellers may just need some advice or an action plan to follow, while others may need the stager to actually complete the work or coordinate rental furnishings and design the space. So, the seller can be as involved as they want depending on their needs and budget. Comment below and let me know what you thought about this video and head over to our website www.toritoth.com to learn more about the services we provide sellers.

Tori is a Home Staging Expert, Trainer & Author. Get my free Real Estate Realities Guide here: http://toritoth.com/sellerguide If you're thinking about updating your kitchen what trends are worthy of your time, money and effort…well, let the countdown of kitchen trends 2016 begin. Starting with the cabinets…a hot trend right now is mixing and matching colors for a more customized look. Use contrasting colors like these…white on top and darker gray below. You can choose to highlight your island with a contrasting color. Upper cabinets are also being swapped out for open shelving, but be careful how you accessorize these or they could look like a cluttered mess. Shaker-style cabinets are also very popular they're sleek, clean with a touch of detail. A white kitchen is of course still trending, gray colors and even soft hues like green or blue are in and apparently the 80's black on black kitchen is coming back…but I certainly don't recommend using that trend if you're selling your home. Custom backsplashes in bold patterns and colors will be a new trend in 2016, again though this is a very taste specific trend so if you plan on selling use something more neutral. Also, play around with texture but not in the conventional way. Rather than mixing and matching textures use same texture in different patterns. Continuing to trend are quartz countertops they're resistant to heat, spills and scratches, making them a smart choice for families or busy cooks. Why not try going automated over at the sink with a hands-free faucet. A splash of color is taking place of the traditional white farmhouse or stainless steel sinks this year…color is also making an appearance on oven faces however, unless you live in a trendy loft or use this new trend tasteful avoid installing these when selling. Above the stove ditch the microwave and go for an awesome wood or metal range hood. The most important trend is kitchens are becoming apart of the main living space so make sure you streamline your kitchen designs to match the adjacent rooms.

If your job title has the words real estate in it then I'm going to need you to hit the subscribe button right here, right now because I have the secret to getting your listings sold ...go on hit the button I'm waiting… Alright, so there are only 2 crucial keys to getting a home sold…an amazing price and what the home actually looks like. Now, I know you're already an expert on pricing a home…but how about making the home look like it's worthy of that price? Judging by some of these MLS photos…I think we have some work to do. Listen, I know you already wear a lot of hats as an agent…we've all heard of the quote…jack of all trades, master of none. Well, let me be your master of staging…Namaste. Why me? I've been a home staging expert since 2009, have sold homes 78% faster…some in as little as a few hours and days. I have a best-selling book out on the subject, have nearly 200 videos on the topic and a new online home staging course geared to help sellers stage themselves. I've been featured trulia, realsimple.com, RIS Media and Realtor.com among others…I've put my blood, sweat and tears into home staging…and finally why me…because why not? Here's what happens when you team up with a home stager…. You know what home staging can do for each and every one of your listings. Many agents only call upon home stagers when the home is vacant or has an awkward layout, but the truth is every home can benefit from a little TLC, right? Home staging is using what you already have, updating and getting creative. By mentioning home staging in your listing presentation, you're staying one step ahead of your competition. Did you know that only 34% of seller agents stage all homes, according to the National Association of Realtors Profile of Home Staging report…so be unique and add value to your client's experience by offering home staging. Avoid having those dreaded conversations with clients about how ugly their home looks, I know you don't want to offend your next client, so offering them advice from a 3rd party, like a staging expert and giving them free resources to learn more about the process is an easy way to get out of looking like the bad guy. It's ok…I'll be the bad guy...no problem. When homes linger on the market a price reduction isn't far behind, but did you know home staging costs significantly less than reducing the price…and it actually prevents the cut in many cases. We all know that more than 90% of buyers start their home search online and you need some amazing photos to get them to the door…Staged properties like these make your listing shine. The most important reason of all…it makes YOU look like a top agent. Staging makes a home look picture-perfect, which helps easily sell the space online. The more homes you sell…quickly…the more calls you'll get for new listings.

Tori is a Home Staging Expert, Trainer & Author. Get my free Real Estate Realities Guide here: http://toritoth.com/sellerguide If you're thinking about refreshing your bathroom check out fifteen of the latest bathrooms trends making a splash in 2016. Speaking of splash let's start with the tub, while some are removing bath tubs all together a free standing soaking tubs is the preferred choice – from antique to ultra-modern…have a tub in your bathroom like this is a must especially in the master bath. I'm not a bathtub person per say, but I love how a shower continues to evolve. Steam showers are all the rage this year, seats are being added in stand up showers as well…and you got to make it rain up in here. Oversized rain shower heads, separate handsets and even double showers create a sense of luxury in your home. Another trend, I absolutely love are heated floors. These not only help you stay warm in your birthday suit, but they help dry out moisture and humidity. What about the sink? Well, under mounted sinks are still popular, they're easy to keep clean and you can pair that with a glamorous metal faucet. Try a matte or satin finish in nickel, brass or even rose gold. This room isn't complete without tile and there are some new trends to think about…oversized tiles are replacing mosaics and other small tile designs. This provides a seamless look without a lot of grout lines to fuss with. Classics colors will be used in unusual patterns though to create a new twist in the bathroom. Concrete and wood looking tiles like this will be found not just on the floor but on the walls to create an industrial chic look. With harsh looking materials being used in this room, you should soften the look by using raw, natural materials like river rocks, natural stone, light wood and plush towels. Now what about color? It's no secret white is the popular color to create a spa-like feel in a bathroom, it works in any design style, you'll find this color in lighting, tile, even towels. Gray and white is a popular color combination too since gray is so versatile and black and white makes a strong timeless statement in this room. If you want to step away from the neutrals try various shades of purple or use this as an accent color to create a rich, luxurious look. And last but not least add some open shelving to your bathroom and show off some spa-like accessories, like rolled up towels, bath salts and loofas on display to capture that relaxed feeling.

Are you feeling blue? Maybe it has to do with the color blue you have in your home. Let me explain. Color is powerful and can sway your mood depending on it's warm or cool hues. Reds, yellows, oranges and beige or creamy colors are WARM while Blues, greens and grays are COOL. Remember the color wheel from elementary school? But color can be tricky because some cool colors can actually feel warmer and that's why this week I'm answering C Schaan's question from Youtube who asks how do you pick a warm blue? Well, C Schaan every color has varying values some will appear brighter and others darker. Lighter colors have white more white in them and you guessed it the darker colors have more black in them. Usually the warmer blues are lighter and will have more yellow or green undertones in them. If you want to use a warmer blue in your home stick with colors between 5,000 and 8,000 on this color temperature scale. Blue typically makes one feel — refreshed, tranquil, serene — which is perfect for bedrooms, living rooms, offices or nurseries. Stay with warmer blues so the space doesn't feel so depressing. Turquoise has remained a popular trend color for several years now. It's a warm, ocean blue heavily influenced by green. Lighter tones of turquoise are perfect for the bedroom. They are not only serene, but relaxing. Soft sky blues or light blues also feel very warm. This is a very Zen-like color that will not overwhelm your space, and it will make your white trim and furnishings look even more brilliant. Just remember if you're using a color on the wall add more neutral furniture or accessories so the space doesn't feel overwhelming, especially if you're staging your home. If you liked this video please make sure to give it a thumbs up and comment below telling me below what's your favorite blue…also don't forget to subscribe to our channel and head over to feelathomebook.com to pre-order our new home staging book called Feel at Home…and claim your free gift…this is only happening for a limited time so let's get your space feeling like home.

Welcome to the final video in this series called Agent Meet Stager – where I'm sharing with you tools to help educate your sellers on the cost, process and effective tips to get your listings prepared for sale. Hit the subscribe button right here to watch all the videos in this series. When selling a home two of the biggest feelings the space should portray are its warmth and welcoming greeting. These are two positive emotions that could help close the deal, so how can you incorporate them into your listings? Let's start at the curb…it's important to create that welcoming feeling to lure buyers into the house. Fix any minor exterior issues on the front of the house, Keep walkways clear, manicure landscaping and add flowers and plants up the walkway and around the door to add color…and spark a smile. Who doesn't feel happy when they see a flower? Keep that welcoming feeling into the home by focusing on the entryway. Make sure the space smells fresh, is light, bright and clear of clutter. Depersonalize the space and use strategic furniture like a chair, small table and mirror. We want to transition the buyer from the outside in with a plant or flower and an accessory or two introducing the home's overall theme. Ok, now when it comes to warmth how can you incorporate that into a room? Well, I suggest using a soothing color on the wall that embraces you – like a beige gray or a tan. You can add a rug-- it not only defines a space but can soften up the look of hardwood or tile. Textured fabric, throws and pillows – even curtains add personality and makes you touch the items or curl up with them. You can also add warmth by using different mood lighting. We did a video on lighting that you can check out here. And don't forget to light your fireplace and candles to make the space feel more intimate. Have a tip to create a warm and welcoming space? Let me know in the comment section below and head over to our website www.toritoth.com to grab a copy of our book Feel At Home to get more tips like this to add feeling into a space.

This video is part 2 of a 5-part spring cleaning video series where we're getting down and dirty to freshen up the home this spring, so make sure to subscribe right here to watch all our spring cleaning videos. Once a year it's important to wash all the dust and grim off your light fixtures. Some fixtures may be easier to clean than others and require different products to make them sparkle. For all of these projects you'll need a ladder, a warm soap mix, a sponge and soft cloths and towels. A safety tip to remember when cleaning fixtures is to make sure the light is off from the switch or the breaker. A mounted light fixture is one of the easiest to clean. First make sure the light is off. Unscrew the finial and decorative cap to remove the glass. Next use a warm soap mix and a sponge to wash the glass, then dry with a towel. Once the glass is dry re-attach the light… If you have a fan in your home grab you're duster and wipe down the base of the fan to remove any dust. Then wipe down the base of the fan and the blades with a warm soapy mix and a soft cloth. Before moving on wipe down with a towel. If you a glass fixture like this attached to the fan than use a glass cleaner. Spray on the cloth than wipe the glass clean. If you have a fan where the glass can come off remove the glass and wash like we did with the mounted light fixture. Now the next fixture is an iron chandelier with lampshades. First remove the shades and clean the fabric with either a lint roller of your vacuum cleaner. Next dust the base with your duster and use a damp cloth to wipe down any grim on the iron. Then place the shades back on the fixture. And of course…saved the best for last the crystal chandelier. The first thing you'll want to do is put down a blanket, towels or drop cloth under the fixture in case a fragile pieces falls the blanket can protect it. Then dust down the fixture and decide if you'll be cleaning the crystals on or off the fixture. If you're taking off the crystals make sure to note how the chandelier is put together and remove them in sections with a sifter or colander, so you can easily watch the pieces in the sink and pat dry. Don't forget to wipe down the arm before replacing the crystals. Ok, make sure to schedule some time for this spring cleaning task and hit every fixture in your home. One other tip make sure to replace any burnt out light bulbs to maximize the light in your space.

We then recommend purchasing an in-home staging consultation, where a certified home stager will walk trough the home to assess the space. They'll take measurements and pictures of the home to use when putting together the proposal. During the consultation we will answer questions you may have about the staging process and talk with you more about how Stylish Stagers, Inc. works. Depending on the size of your home the consultation can take about a half hour to an hour and a half. We will be looking for ways to improve your home by making repairs, decluttering, organizing, furniture and accessory placement and much more. After the consultation we will then put together a proposal for further work. Our proposals are broken out by the staging fee or labor costs, the monthly rental accessory fee, which allows you to rent accessories from our company. The proposal also gives you an estimate on furniture if any is needed for the space and provides the type of furniture that will be used to transform your look. If needed the proposal will also supply vendor information to take care of necessary repairs, storage and moving services. The proposal is there to provide you with an outline of the next steps we feel as experts should be taken, as well as give you an estimate on cost and the timeline. If you currently live in your home and will be reusing what is there or pairing items down, we will provide you at an additional cost a multi-page action plan broken out by room, showing you exactly what needs to be done to prepare your home for sale, bonus too its a checklist that you can use so you don't get overwhelmed. The action plan is a cost effective way for homeowners to conquer project themselves, however we are available if you need a helping hand...and we can complete the plan for you. I hope this helps clarify what the first step is when staging your home. For questions about our consultations and pricing, or if your ready to get started please contact me at [email protected] or call 888.667.6643. Remember home staging is a necessity to showcase your home so for more home staging tips go to www.toritoth.com and you'll be one step closer to the closing table.

This video kicks off a 5-part video series where we're going to get down and dirty to freshen up our home this spring, so make sure to subscribe right here to watch all our spring cleaning videos. If you have a home you probably have a lot of these…walls surrounding your every move and at first glance they may seem to be pretty clean…but look closely… walls usually get beaten up! What's in the air is also on the walls…that includes dust, smoke and oil…and well, in high traffic areas, scuff marks, fingerprints and knicks always appear…I won't even mention what happens with kids or beloved pets in the house…. So, let's make these walls shine with 7 tips that will help any homeowner or seller refresh a home. Here are the materials you'll need…a broom, duster or vacuum, drop cloth, bucket with soapy water, bucket with clean water, 2x lint free towels, a sponge that's dye free…we don't want to stain the wall in the process. First off we want to dust wall regularly, don't forget the baseboards Next up pay attention to what type of paint you have? Any paint with a gloss on it is going to be easier to wash, for all other paints test out an area first in an inconspicuous space because paint may fade or rub off when cleaned. Now in order to clean the walls you should remove any artwork also make sure to protect your furnishings in the middle of the room with a drop cloth or sheet. Time to start take a drop cloth, old blanket or towel and begin to wash the walls with the lint free washcloth …start at the top and work your way down...use long horizontal strokes. Once you've washed that section of wall down, make another pass at with a damp sponge and your clean water. Now for stubborn stains, crayon marks or grim use the mr. clean magic eraser, little wet the eraser and wipe off spot. As you're wiping down the wall take note of any knicks, dents or any other issues you may want to touch up with paint cause that would be your next steps to match up your color, schedule some time, create a well-ventilated area and throw a paint party.

This video is part 3 of a 5-part spring cleaning video series where we're getting down and dirty to freshen up the home this spring, so make sure to subscribe right here to watch all our spring cleaning videos. This project will help you keep one of your most expensive household purchases…upholstered furniture looking clean and fresh longer. Now you can certainly hire a professional upholstery cleaner or try it yourself. Start by vacuuming the furniture with your upholstery tool following the direction of your fabric. Don't forget to use the crevice tool to clean seams and hard to reach places on your furniture. Next, you'll need a steam cleaner…that you can either purchase or rent. We rented this rug doctor from the store, that also has the upholstery hand tool. Make sure though before you start your upholstery can actually get wet. Connect the hand tool by changing out the solution and vacuum hoses. Mix your solution… use one gallon of warm water with 16 ounces of upholstery cleaner. Add the solution to the lower tank, under the recovery tank and fill it about half way. Replace the recovery tank by snapping it in place. Make sure the machine is switched on for the hand tool and turn the machine on. If you have upholstery that can't get wet, sprinkle baking soda on the fabric and let it sit for about 20 minutes then vacuum clean the baking soda will absorb any odors on the upholstery. Plan on steam cleaning your upholstery at least once a year…maybe even more if you have pets or kids to reduce germs, allergins and bacteria from spreading in your home.

While this is considered the slow season in real estate, it's actually been quite busy, which puts a seller in the prime position because there is not as many homes on the market now then come spring. And who wants to wait for spring, right? So i want to share with you five home staging tips to get your home sold now. Alright so the first tip to get your home show ready starts at the curb...it goes without saying that all driveways and walkways around your home should be shoveled and de-iced. So, it's easy for buyers to access your front door. Think about ways you can add a little life on this journey up to your doorway. Use a variety of evergreens, spruces or winterberries. I used a colorful shrub with white sticks to welcome guests. Think about adding potted plants on your porch, an old sleigh or large lanterns. Make sure to use a cheerful paint color on your door and a decorative winter wreath implying to come on in. Upon entry...the question becomes To shoe or not shoe? If you don't want the outside dragged in by shoes there are really two ways you can handle. Either create a designated place for people to sit and remove their shoes in the entryway, a simple way to do this is to use a long bench with boot trays underneath or the better option would be to buy shoe covers, like these, for buyers to put over their shoes, and make sure to reference your preference on a visible sign. Remember to have a few hooks or extra space in the front closet for those who want to take off their jackets while touring your house, we want buyers to feel comfortable. Speaking of which, No one likes hanging out in a cold house, so make sure you raise the tempurature to 70 degrees or higher in your home it will allow buyers to forget about the cold and focus on your home. The toasty feel could also keep buyers lingering in the home longer providing enough time for them to fall in love with the space. Creating cozy spaces in your home will relax buyers so turn on the fireplace, just make sure they work and don't leave a smokey smell in the room turning off buyers. keep winter in mind when accessorizing the space, use birch, evergreens, twigs and winterberries to bring nature in. Use ice skates, skiis or even hunting equipment to display. Bring in metals like gold and silver. Also, don't forget to drape some throws and furry pillows around the home. Light is important during the dreary winter months. Keep windows clean, drapes and shades open. Use light colored, but textured curtains, like off white velvet. Infact use decor that is lighter, mixing different color whites is totally acceptable. And you want to make sure when showing you have all your lights on regardless off day or night. Try these tips today and you could be sold come spring and ready for a brand new beginning.

As the author of this book, what I like is that I created an easy read to teach people how to stage and decorate their home based on proven experience that has seen results. I think one of the most important steps in this book has to do with emotionally connecting your home to those who visit the space. Many homeowners forget about those little extra details that can provoke a feeling or a moment in time. We all know buyers – buy based on emotion, so how can you exploit those emotions to close a sale? Let's take your entry way for example. It's the first area a person sees when they walk into your home. And if you like it or not it will leave a lasting impression. We want this space to feel welcoming and joyful. In order to do that you have to declutter the space. Remove all items linger on the floor, chairs or table. You want to have a system for items entering and leaving your home. We have a closet to store our outerwear, bags, doggie gear and some athletic equipment. Here are a few tips I mention in the book to set the mood in the entryway. Use a plant or flowers in the room to transition the outside in. Have an accessory or two on display that introduces the home's theme and get buyers or guests use to what they will be seeing….you can also do this by using a pop of color that is seen throughout the home. Next up conceal an air freshener in the entry to make it smell fresh…don't use anything too powerful and add a light to set the mood and welcome people into the space.

You know home staging, gets a bad wrap…most people think it's a waste of money or is just too expensive…which couldn't be farther from the truth. Home staging can actually make you more at the closing table…wait for it? Here are seven inexpensive ways to get your home prepared for sale. Start by decluttering your home, toss items you no longer need and get creative with storage solutions to organize your cabinets, drawers and closets. Sticking with the decluttering theme, pack away items you will not immediately need over the next few months. An example of this is seasonal clothing. Also, pack up personal items like photos and collections to enhance space. Listen you're moving anyway so why not start packing? Giving your entire house a wash from top down so it sparkles is a must when preparing a home for sale, yes it's labor intensive, but it's inexpensive. If you have small repair projects around the home, it's a wise idea to complete them before going on the market to avoid buyers nit-picking at the price. Painting is also an affordable way to change the entire look of a room and make the home look fresh and clean. Another simple solution is to reuse what you already have in the home and play with rearranging furnishings that maximizes square footage and improves traffic patterns. Last, but not least spruce up your curb appeal at the door…add some seasonal flowers, a new mat and a wreath to welcome buyers up to your front door.

Let's talk about clutter! Do you find your rooms closing in on you, expecially after the holiday season....well it may be your clutter. So here are some clutter busting solutions to get you one step closer to the closing table and your sanity. There are many reasons why we have clutter....maybe it has some sentimental meaning to you, maybe it was a good deal or free, maybe you just don't know how to throw things out...whatever the reason is clutter will not get your house sold quickly. Determining what is clutter may be hard for you...so i'm going to keep it simple clutter is stuff piled ontop of stuff or too much stuff in one location that can make your head spin. See our brains needs empty space to define objects and make sense out of what we are seeing. Clutter doesn't allow that empty space to exist, which makes most people uncomfortable. And when a buyer is uncomfortable they won't buy! Everyones clutter is different, but the most common sources of clutter are paperwork and old magazines, clothes, knick knacks and collectibles or just items that don't have a home. Let,s take your holiday gifts for example. These are new items that have entered your home. You have to decide which rooms you will store these new items in. Then seperate the gifts by room. Any gifts that need to be exchanged or that you don't want keep in a seperate pile to either return or give to charity. Then take the gifts and spend sometime organizing them in their new room and make sure to do one room at a time so you don't feel overwhelmed. For example, Sal got a bunch of new workout clothes so a good rule of thumb is for each gift received toss to of its counterparts out. So, he must throw out 2 sweatpants for every new one he got. Repeat this process throughout your house and it will help reduce clutter and organize your home.

Have you ever wondered how high you should actually hang artwork? To get the answer to this question and others make sure to subscribe to our channel right here. As a home stager, I've seen artwork hung too high, too low and even disproportionate to other items in the home. So, let's talk about it – to avoid this silly mistake. A great place to start is use 57 inches on center. That means the center of the piece you're hanging should be 57 inches from the floor. Now of course this rule may not work in every situation – you may have unusual ceilings or tall furniture that requires a different placement in that case – eyeball it. Trust your eyes if something seems off it probably is… so, place the piece on the wall then step back and see if it's in the right spot, if not move it. Many times, size matters. If the artwork feels too big or too small in a space it can look odd.

Creating light and bright spaces is an important part of the home staging process and is a low cost solution that can bring you a 299% return on investment according to homegain's 2012 national home improvement survey and I talked about ways to lighten up your home in a previous video, that you can go check out after this one. So, one of the ways you can improve the quality of lighting in a room is to add table and floor lamps. But how many lamps do you need and where exactly do you place the lamps in the room? The answer is Matthew Finlason's the triangulation effect. Basically in order to add drama to your design you need to strategically place lamps around the room so that it's equally lit to maximize the space. The traingulation effect uses three sources of light to essentially create a triangle if you drew it out on a design sketch like this. You can mix and match lighting fixtures to create this traingle. And remember the more light sources you have in a room the more spacious it will appear to buyers. Test it out for yourself in a room in your home and make sure to tell me about in the comment section below.
