Power Shopping
In this service add-on, we will create a budget and shop directly for specific furniture and accessories that will serve as investments in the sale of your home. For online items, I will electronically send you a link to the exact recommended items for your approval. After your approval I will then either (A) provide you a direct link for you to purchase the item(s) yourself and set up delivery/assembly or (B) send you an invoice for any trade-discounted items so I can purchase them for you at a discounted rate. In order for me to make any in-store purchases, a separate shopping fund must be provided ahead of time so I am able to purchase the items as they are found. If any funds remain in your shopping fund for in-store purchases, you will be refunded the remaining balance. All items that are chosen “on the spot” in the store, will have the option to be returned and refunded (within 15 days of receipt) if the item does not meet your expectations.

F.A.Q.
Even if your house sells quickly in a good market, it doesn’t mean it sold for the amount it would have sold for had it been professionally staged. Professionally staged homes sell on a conservative average of 10%+ more in a good market.
Only a mere 10% of homebuyers can actually visualize the potential of a home. Buyers cannot visualize size and scale, so furniture and accessories help to give them a frame of reference.
Home sellers are usually incapable of successfully staging their own home. Why? Because our homes are like our children, we don’t always see all of its flaws. We’ve gotten used to the way it looks and it can be difficult emotionally to change it. If you can’t view something objectively, then you are unable to market and package it effectively. Not to mention most home sellers don’t stage homes everyday for a living. That’s why using a Professional Home Stager, like Sydney Kaitlynn Interiors, LLC can help you get the best return for your money.
Top 10 Reasons to Stage
Our 8 Step Staging Philosophy
Sydney Kaitlynn Interiors, LLC follows an 8-step “FEEL HOME” Process within each room we stage.
F
First Impressions
We will walk through your home room by room, taking note of our first impressions, What Grabs us, what Glares at us, and what gives us a feeling of home.
E
Eliminating Clutter
The packing starts now as we pack away a good percentage of everyhting in the room in order to create a more clean, open, and spacious feel.
E
Emphasizing the positive
Finding your beautiful focal points, we will emphasize what we love about the room and hide or distract the negative aspects of the rooms.
L
Lighten Up
Focusing on lighting and color, we will make each room into a bright, warm, and inviting space buyers can respond to. Paint and light fixtures are key elements to buyers.
H
Home Buyer's Appeal
In order for a buyer to “feel home,” they need to not be reminded of this being your home. We will depersonalize the space while retaining the warmth and fun of photos.
O
Obligations
Cleaning and Repair time! The dirty work speaks for itself but is often overlooked because you’ve lived here for so long. Let’s get rid of any potential inspection issues and the buyer’s mental repair list by doing it ourselves.
M
Modernizing
This involves updating your style and building simple accessories out of what you already have to create clean lines and form. We will recommend critical purchases not only as valuable investments int he staging process but to modernize and refresh your current items.
E
Emotional Connection Points
Creating the “Wow Factor”- this is the fun part and is a huge focus of our positioning strategy. We’ll show you how to build in these subtleties in order to make the buyers subconsciously desire to live here and “feel home.”
