Programs on HGTV and other stations offer excellent advice for people who want to sell their homes. "Home Staging" is one of the hottest trends in real estate for the last few years and for good reason: home staging is proven to sell homes for more money and in less time. With shows like these, viewers/buyers are more aware of how a home should look when it's for sale. This does make buyers savvy about what they are looking for. So if a home is not staged it looks even worse.

Katie Mines is president of Sweet Villa Home Staging and her #1 focus during her staging consultation is to see your home through the highly critical eyes of prospective buyers. We all know by our own homes that it is easy to over look our everyday clutter and imperfections. By having an expert like Katie walk through your home and provide you with a DESIGN PLAN, leads you in the right direction to begin preparing your home for sale.
