Yorktown Home Staging Success Story

Our team recently had the pleasure of staging a traditional ranch-style home in Yorktown. The property was located in a highly sought-after neighborhood, close to schools and shops. Although the house was pretty outdated when it was purchased, the homeowner had added some beautiful modern updates, including opening up the floor plan, painting each space in a lovely neutral color, and adding black fixtures that complemented the home's natural wood tones.

Note: Think outside the box, consider garages, sheds and closets that can be remade into a home office. When choosing your location, consider distractions. What distractions are out of your control? For example, when your neighbors are entertaining guests, have children at play, or when they choose to cut their grass? What can you do to make your space specific distraction free? Noise cancellation headsets? Can you set up hours of operation that makes your space off limits to others during times? Can you set your schedule to match others sharing the space? [...]
