Bay area and Marin Staging Servicing the San francisco and Marin bay area (Unpublished)

Posted by on (Unpublished)

Thanks Renee an d Barry for inviting me to share my experiences and ideas here at Marin modern.com. Working as a stager in Marin, San francisco and the entire Bay Area has been a very exciting challenge. When I started to stage homes here I was amazed at how dramatically diverse the areas are and how many types of homes there are. It is common for me to be working on two or three projects at the same time. In Marin it could be a Mid Century Eichler or a Spanish style home. In San Francisco it would vary likely be a Victorian. And the mix dose not stop there! You will have a Victorian type living in a Totally Modern house or a hip loft type couple living in a Moorish style home . It is my job as a stager to sort through this and get the proper environment set to present it to the desired type of buyer.

Everyone says"Oh, what a dream job" and for me it is. What most people don't realize is that most people stay in their homes while it it on the market. This is always very interesting. People like the way they live in their homes and they LOVE their STUFF!!!! Renee at Marin Modern and I worked on a home in Marin that I totally had the home owners pack up everything but a few pieces that I kept for staging. The result was an open, depersonalized home. Market ready and as clean as a pin. When we held the first open house I walked in and OMG the wife hauled out all her little nick knacks and put them everywhere! I packed them up and every time I went to check on the house she would have put them back out. We never talked about it. I put things away and she put them out. The Dream Jobs are the houses that are vacant and I can redo things and create a new environment. More on those later. I have so many stories and maybe some tips to share with you here so keep in touch !!!
