Staging vs. Re-design

Unless you're an HGTV addict or a Realtor, you've probably never given much thought to the terms Staging and Re-design. Depending on your situation, the differences can be enormous. Here's a brief guide:

• Staging refers to the act of preparing your home for sale. Re-design refers to the act of creating a home that reflects the way you really live.

• Staging involves neutralizing and de-personalizing. Re-design is taste-specific and highly personalized.

• Staging is conducted in order to appeal to as many potential buyers as possible. Re-design is conducted to address homeowner-specific needs and wants.

• Staging is about enabling potential buyers to envision the home as their own. Re-design is about creating an environment that fulfills your vision of home.

• Staging starts with de-cluttering and the goal of creating more space. Re-design starts with de-cluttering and the goal of defining your space.
