People Relocating to Symphony Village Use 'Staging' to Help Sell Their Existing House
CENTREVILLE, Md., Sept. 23, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Most people moving to Symphony Village, the active adult community in Centreville, sell their existing house as part of the process of relocating there, according to Jeff Caruso, president of Caruso Homes, Crofton, Md.
"Almost all of our new Symphony Village residents tell about using 'staging' as a critical tool to selling their existing home and doing so more quickly than they had anticipated as well as at a more competitive price," said Caruso. "They offer these staging tips in hopes of helping others to also come live at Symphony Village, " he added.
- One professional stager recommends that bathrooms should look "open, airy and delightful" and suggests including baskets filled with spa treatments such as scented soaps, creamy lotions, moisturizing and facial jars, and towels tied with ribbons.
- Among the benefits of staging, frequently described as "adding small, but memorable details", is that the house being staged needs to appeal to all five senses. For example, arrange pieces of furniture in an appealing grouping known as a vignette; drape window coverings with simple lines; add unique elements to shelving, bookcases and fireplace mantels; display unusual knickknacks in units of 1, 3 or 5.
- Stagers also love to accessorize rooms and settings within a room using silk flowers, small loveseats, pillows, afghans, plants, mirrors and area and throw rugs.
