staging - Perfect! Decorating Real Estate Staging and House Decor

Just Perfect! offers a wide variety of home services. Whether you’re selling a house, moving in to a new home, or just need a little organization in your life – we are here to help. Our work is of the highest standards and our clients’ best interests are put first. We would love to work with you to accomplish your goals.

Why is staging so important? A very small percentage of buyers - only 10% - can visualize the potential of a house.

The house you’re trying to sell often sends signals to potential buyers:
    • Laundry left out and unfinished chores remind them of everyday life… they’re looking for a fresh start!
    • To-do lists are a sign that the house needs work done.
    • Dirty bathrooms and kitchens may lead them to assume the house hasn’t been kept up.
    • Closets and cabinets packed full imply that space is limited.
    • Personal items and photographs make it harder for them to envision the house as their own.
    • A crowded room suggests their furniture may not fit.

The problem with the way we decorate our homes is that we are so very personal about it. Prospective buyers get distracted; they start to feel like they are intruding into someone else’s space. What sellers want is for the buyers to feel like they are walking into something that is already theirs. They also want to minimize the negatives and accentuate the positives.

The goals behind staging and interior decorating/design are completely different. Staging is a marketing strategy that strives to make a house appeal to the majority and focuses on the features of the house. Interior design reflects the home owner’s personal tastes and focuses on the décor and furniture to create the ideal living space for that individual.

Occupied Staging: Whether it is one room or your entire house, we will help you get your home prepared for buyers to love! You may have to get your hands a little dirty (of course, we can make arrangements so you don't have to). We will first arm you with recommendations that will make your property more marketable. Then, we continue to work with you and stage the home after the pre-staging tasks have been completed. We even provide additional accessories to enhance your space. Marketing opportunities are included at no additional charge, in order to help your listing with exposure leading to a fast sell!

Vacant Staging: Whether it is an older home or new construction, staging your vacant home will fill it with the warmth and attractiveness buyers are searching for! We will make our best recommendation for your property, which is a minimum of the main rooms of the house, but we are flexible and able to accommodate the various goals and budgets of our clients. Perfect for any homeowner trying to get as much as they can out of their home, as quickly as possible. We not only provide the furnishings, but a list of recommendations that will greatly enhance your property's marketability. See our Project Coordination Services below if you would like us to handle these suggestions. Marketing opportunities are included at no additional charge in order to help your listing with exposure leading to a fast sell!

Model Homes and Builder Partnerships: We offer a full range of customizable services for our builder and developer clients. From floor plan review with suggestions, to color selections, to staging... we can help you ensure your homes have the most appeal they possibly can to all the buyers out there. Often decreasing your time, energy and costs while increasing profits for you... we will make the perfect addition to your team. We also allow you the flexibility for your models to have a personality of their own, and for each floor plan to show uniquely.

Investment Properties: We can stage properties that are for rent as well! We develop a proposal of improvements, organize, and make the property eye catching and inviting to anyone looking to rent or vacation in the area.

Project Co-ordination: Sometimes, before staging takes place, we will recommend other services be performed to maximize your properties' aesthetics and marketability. These may include: Painting, Landscaping, Flooring, Minor Repairs, Cleaning, New Lighting, Bathroom + Kitchen Updates, + More. Just Perfect! will co-ordinate all of the jobs and make selections of colors, fixtures, etc. in order to continue to appeal to the multitude of buyers. We can also act as a stand in for you with the contracted companies throughout the project(s)' time line if you are out of town or unavailable. All individual contracts, relationships, and payment for these projects will be between the performing company(s) and the client (you). We have a number of affiliate companies that we work with (and some provide you with a discount because you are working with us!) but if there is another company you prefer, we are happy to work with them.
