Sellers of real estate here in our Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge/Sevierville area markets often ask if homes sell better furnished or unfurnished and the answer is an unqualified “Furnished”. While an empty home sometimes appears larger the presence of attractively arranged furniture and decor items makes all the difference. I recently had the assistance of Staged to Sell by Dee and Joni, a local professional staging company, in making a bank-owned property appear much more attractive. Take a look at the dramatic difference via the before and after photos below.
Unfortunately, different cameras wielded by different photographers at different times of day blur the comparison somewhat but it is nonetheless clear that the furnished version of each of these three rooms is far superior to the barren unfurnished view. With the challenging state of our real estate market, getting the best appearance from your property is a MUST. If you would like to learn more about the services that Staged to Sell by Dee and Joni offers, please contact owners Dee Jacquemin at 865.599.1080, or Joni Garrison at 865.766.7504. I personally know these folks and can assure you that they are not only professionals but also great people!
