So, you’ve decided to sell your home. You made some repairs, tidied everything up and freshened the paint. Are you presenting your home in the best way possible? Does it have that “WOW” factor?
Buyers are looking for an emotional connection before making the decision to commit. Making your home attractive to buyers is an important key to selling it. From the moment buyers arrive until the moment they leave, they are trying to envision themselves living in your home. Make it easier for them— Stage It First!
Kathryn Somers, President and Creative Director of Stage It First will help you to present your home in a way that will make it impossible for homebuyers not to fall in love with it.
About Kathryn Somers
As a former Esthetician and Make-Up Artist, Kathryn brings her extensive knowledge and background in colour and symmetry to her home staging business.
Kathryn was inspired to start a career in home staging after helping a friend stage her home. “It was so exciting to see the final results. I was hooked! The home sold a few days later,” says Kathryn. “That’s when I knew I had to make this my new career.”
Kathryn is a graduate of the Staging Diva Home Staging Business Training Program. She also enjoys acrylic painting classes with a local artist in her spare time.
What clients are saying about Kathryn Somers and Stage it First
“After two unsuccessful open houses, we knew we had to make changes. Kathy was very helpful; she came in and gave us constructive criticism. She was able to use many of our household items in a way that was appealing to the buyers. Her suggestions of paint colours and furniture placement helped make our house more spacious and updated. By spending very little money, we got a great return on our investment. We got our first offer just a few days after the staging. We sold for the price we wanted. Both buyers and agents were amazed with the transformation. It was a totally different house. We believe if we staged the house before putting it on the market we could have listed it for a higher price.”
Lana Lorenzon (Uxbridge, ON)
“We loved what you did! It’s hard to imagine that just by using our existing furnishings in a new way that you could turn our house into a home that would appeal to any buyer’s tastes. Call Kathy Somers if you want expert advice.”
C. Kershaw (North Bay, ON)
