Home Staging Unoccupied Homes
You may not know it, but an empty home does not inspire buyers the way a staged home does. We all know that an occupied home that is cluttered and in need of cleaning deters buyers, but an empty home is nearly as bad. The buyer needs to use their imagination to see what the potential is. They have to imagine where their furniture goes, they have to imagine the ways to take advantage of the space available. Aside from that, an empty home only draws buyers attention to the flaws in the home. With all that empty space and nothing to fill their imagination, they tend to pick up on the minor imperfections of the home. Minor flaws like an abnormality in the flooring, paint, or baseboards become front and center in the eyes of a potential buyer when there's nothing else for them to focus on.
Staging not only makes these minor details less visible, but it creates an emotional connection with the buyers, showing them the potential in the home, how to take advantage of the space, and when done properly, conveys the message that the previous owners are tasteful and clean. These factors are why home staging sells homes so efficiently vs non-staged homes. Not only do staged homes sell faster, but they sell for an average of 17% more than their non-staged counterparts. This makes home staging a no-brainer!
Our staging process includes optimized design, usually with color themes. Sometimes we recommend minor repairs and interior paint, which of course we can help facilitate through our network of professionals we work with. All of these things are done with the end result in mind, and the ultimate goal of selling your home for as much as possible, and as quickly as possible. We've had plenty of cases where our staged homes were sold, sight-unseen to buyers from out of the area just based on the listing details and pictures online.

Home Staging Occupied Homes
Home staging isn't reserved just for empty homes. Many of our clients continue living in their homes during the staging and listing process. Although it sometimes requires a little more logistical effort, home staging an occupied home is not only absolutely possible, but it's definitely worth the effort. It usually entails partial-packing of the resident belongings, to leave the home as un-cluttered as possible, as well as the usual optimization of space with our design teams' eye for detail. Depending on the furniture in the home, it is sometimes necessary to store the residents furniture temporarily in exchange for more stylish furniture with a more modern feel that brightens up the home and takes better advantage of the available space.
Our team will help facilitate everything throughout this process to make it as easy as possible for everyone involved. We understand that not everyone has the option to move out of their residence before listing it for sale, and we make the process as seamless as possible from beginning to end, in order to ensure that we provide the best service we can to our clients, regardless of their situation.
Ultimately, the name of the game is to make your home more appealing to more buyers, and whether the home is occupied or not, our team is able to make a big difference in the results of your home sale, both in sale amount and in time on the market.

Rental Staging and Design
Rental properties benefit from our services as well. Whether it's a short term AirBnB type rental or a longer term furnished apartment, trust Folsom Home Staging to maximize your rental returns.
Furnished apartments are gaining popularity these days, due to the nature of busy professionals that often find themselves working far away from home, they seek out beautifully furnished apartments to have a home away from home and avoid the very long commutes they would have otherwise. They aren't looking for an empty place to rent, and then have to worry about furnishing it themselves, these individuals are willing to pay a premium for an easy living situation, where all they have to bring along is a small wardrobe, some personal items, laptop, and briefcase in order to have a home away from home. Quality fully furnished rentals are becoming harder and harder to find for government employees and busy professionals, you might be surprised at how quickly they get tenants, and good tenants at that. Many times we find that their employer is willing to pay their rent for them, sometimes even in advance!
Short term rentals like AirBnB definitely benefit from our quality design services as well. It may not seem like it, but these clients are willing to pay extra for a beautifully designed space while they're out of town. They're usually on vacation after all, and they are looking for an experience while staying in your town. It's entirely possible to justify 20-30% more for short term rental rates if the space is beautifully designed. Do the math on that kind of return based on your current occupancy/vacancy rate, then factor in that your occupancy rate will increase!
