To THE LEFT: Help your investment property stand out by staging it! This room now looks like a finished product. Now buyers can see a vision and function for the space!
Complimentary consultations up to 10 miles from Irmo
Any home that competes with new homes needs to look as good as a new home. Even if your home is furnished, it doesn't mean that your furniture placement is the most visually appealing. And by all means, please don't put a vacant home on the market - most buyers have little imagination when it comes to furniture placement. Staging allows buyer to SEE what their future home could look like! And a vacant house will appear smaller than a furnished one....staging helps maximize the space!
TO THE RIGHT: A simple table, accessories and artwork turned this dull dining room into a comfortable gathering place!

Testimonials and FAQs
Kudos for Kimber!
Sweetgrass Home Staging did a fantastic job on both of my homes! One was 8 years ago and we had so many people coming through with incredible comments, it was awesome!
Now that we are having to move again and Kimber has it all started, I want to stay! I look around and can't believe this is my house! Again, lots of appts to come see the house and great comments. It will, no doubt, sell quickly!
THANK YOU KIMBER, THANK YOU SWEETGRASS HOME STAGING!!
Dorene R., seller
"The home was very well set up and the design fit the home and neighborhood perfectly. It had a 'beachy, but sophisticated' feel that really appealed to the buyers for that area (Charleston) and price point. They could truly envision seeing themselves in the home. It had just the right amount of furnishings that made it look clean and livable, and not cluttered. The color scheme was inviting and exciting! The overall energy of the home was just what a prospective buyer wants to see in a house. Great job!"

With leaves starting to fall, (especially if you've had a dry summer), don't forget to maintain your yard. Although it's extra work to rake leaves, a well-kept yard is attractive to buyers.
Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
Q. Who typically pays for staging?
A. Although it is more common for homeowners to pay, sometimes realtors will pay for this vital service. Sometimes homeowners and realtors will split the cost.
Q. How long does it take to stage a house?
A. With Sweetgrass Home Staging, LLC, it will take a minimum of 2 hours. Why not make a nomimal investment, giving your house the best opporutunity to sell quickly and for more money?
Q. Will you use my furniture or does a company provide that? Will I be able to view any furniture before it is put into my house?
A. Depending on the situation, most homeowners have the necessary furnishings in their home. However, there are instances where fresh furniture is required. This is provided by a furniture rental company or by Sweetgrass. If a client insists, the furniture can be viewed by them in person. AND furniture used to stage a house can be purchased if the buyers or sellers like it!
Q. Do you do anything regarding curb appeal?
A. In short, yes. Most home exteriors just need some sprucing up. If the yard/exterior is in need of a major 'redo,' a professional landscaper/contractor may be warranted. Unless the house has been neglected, this is usually not the case. You want your house to look amazing on the outside so that buyers will want to see the inside.
