STAGING to SELL!!!




Never has a project lived up to my vision... a common sadness for the artistically inclined. I'm a proficient stager, so it's pretty disappointing when I don't have the time or energy to properly stage my own house. However, it's all with a clear goal in mind.

Move the sucker.

Note to home stagers:

Below, you'll find the first round of photos to go on the MLS website. The goal is to show off value-adding features and make every room look big and bright.

My photographer friend, George Retelas, advised me and it made a HUGE difference in the impression potential walk-throughs will get when they see the pics on the MLS website. To learn about George as a photographer, cinematographer, and filmmaker, you can go to www.georgeretelas.com He's basically amazing, and I get free photography advise. Lucky me. I also had him do my dance promotional shots, which can be found on my dance website: www.stephaniebatista.com

If you CANNOT get your hands on George, do the following when taking photos:

Get your hands on a wide angle lens.

Take shots from the corner of the room, from the ceiling-down or the ground-up. That room will look MASSIVE, in a really open, inviting, "BUY ME" way.


Here is the first round of photos, for your viewing pleasure. Happy staging!
