If you're thinking of selling your home then don’t go away because we have an expert with us today and that is Beth Thomas from Turn Key Homes. Now Beth you're a home stager, correct? Beth Thomas: Correct. That’s right. Meriel Bradley: What does a home stager do? Beth Thomas: Well, a home stager helps the homeowner prepare their home to sell for more money and less time. Meriel Bradley: That sounds like an amazing way to sell your home. If we bring you in what do you do for us as a home stager? Beth Thomas: Well, the first thing I do is I look at your home as a potential buyer would, okay. We create illusions and moods. We rearranged furniture in order to maximize the space, kind of draw the eye away from flaws and more so to the features in each room. Meriel Bradley: Now do you think by having a home stager it takes the emotion out of it for a homeowner? Beth Thomas: Definitely, selling your house is a very stressful thing and having the ability to hire somebody to come in and take that off your hands and do it right so that it does cut down on the time that your house is on the market is a huge value. Meriel Bradley: Because you want to grab those potential buyers as soon as they walk into the home. is that right? Beth Thomas: That’s right we want to make sure that the person coming into the home, the potential buyer can visualize their things in there. Can figure out the space, can figure out that this is the home that they want because it’s going to have enough storage. It’s going to have rooms that are big enough for their things and it’s going to give that added warmth and feel that everybody looks for to say, “This is home”. Meriel Bradley: Right, now do you declutter the rooms? Beth Thomas: We do. We can do as much as the homeowner wants or as little. Okay, from giving a consultation where I go through and fill out a book that looks like this. It’s a very detailed book as to what should be decluttered, what should be repaired, what should be stored, how furniture should be moved around, to having us come in and do it for you. Okay, where we moved the furniture, we packed things up. We add art work, we add lighting, many different things and ways to enhance the house. Meriel Bradley: So you make it a very easy process. Beth Thomas: That’s right. Meriel Bradley: And I love the list, I think that’s great. For me I would definitely want you to continue from there and do everything. Now do you things so if a room needs painting would you recommend that too? Beth Thomas: Definitely. People when they're looking for a house they want something that is turned key already ready for them. So by eliminating areas where the potential buyer can shift away at the price we do the painting. We suggest we’re moving wall paper because that you know could disturbed people from buying a house. Anything that we think will help to enhance the house we come look after for them. Meriel Bradley: And you provide the trades people to do that too. Beth Thomas: That’s right, that’s right. Meriel Bradley: So it really is a tongue key solution, so you come in and you really get my home ready to sell for the most that I can get for it and then the fastest time. Beth Thomas: That’s right.
