What is Staging?
A goal of staging is not to decorate, but to transform the property to appeal to the greatest number of potential buyers. Showhomes professionals use their knowledge of design trends, real estate ethics, and property renovation solutions to help the seller achieve their goals.
Some people think that decorating and staging are the same. There is a significant difference between the two. Decorating is about your personal style. The way you have decorated your home for your own enjoyment and the way you market your home for sale are very different.
When you decide to list your home for sale, you must think about how to properly style that home so it appeals to the greatest pool of buyers.
“Showhomes provided our empty home with furnishings that emphasized the spaciousness. We were very pleased with their professionalism and ability to make us comfortable with their services.”
“Always a great experience with Showhomes Charleston! This is not my first time working with this great team...Showhomes decorated the home to make it show brighter and fit the style of the neighborhood. Turned out amazing. Listed the home and was under contract in one day. Closed in less than two weeks. There are other homes on the same street that have not sold and are not staged. Thank you Laura and Lorelie for another wonderful experience!”

Home Styling
