The two-storey house near Columbia Place Banneker was like the others at the resort - except it was empty and sitting on a year on the market.
Jaclyn Riedel was hired to transform the shell - the soft, subtle colors purple walls, wooden floors Brazilian cherry and beige provides - in a cozy room, could see where buyers live.
In less time than it someday Riedel Pop, drew a plan to make him feel like a "living space that was comfortable and functional" and enough furniture, decorative pieces (bottom right Granny Smith over the placed teal green plates in the kitchen) and representations to complete the two-room house. Within two weeks, he has an offer for the house $ 254,900.
"I came and I got on items that were relatively neutral and non-offensive to the public - no religion, no very specific taste - elements that could attract a wide range of people," Riedel, who has a background as a stylist told Costume and set designer for TV shows and movies, including "Veep," "House of Cards", "The Wire", "not That Into you" and "Live free or die hard".
Welcome to the life of a home stager. Such rapid movement, targeted workers transactions by agents or homeowners can imagine a better indication of the potential buyers are called want to live an environment at home even there. Ideal for vacant houses, property recently returned, or difficult to sell houses, Stagers and customers say that their work will help households become more attractive and reduces the time that they are on the market. The benefits range from a minimum of $ 250 for a consultation organization and just in a smaller house, about $ 10,000 to decorate a house with five bedrooms.
"Households From a buyer allows the house to come at its best and to see," Allison Sheff Berkshire Hathaway Home Services said in Baltimore. "Stagers have a great sense of style. They are not wild and not too fancy. It's shiny and new when a Stager falls in. It gives you a sense of excitement".
Sheffield, who was a real estate agent for 12 years said, stagers have gained popularity in the last year - especially for free units.
"I think the brokers see the value in it," he said. "Come home a bright and giving really works for special treatment."
Chip Frye, Washington-based owner staging Mont charm of the city, has also seen a recent resurgence in the demand for home stagers.
"The market demand," Frye said. "People have more knowledge are about the process. You see a lot of HGTV. They see the value of production at home not on the stage. They take into account [that] a person who organized the house, is an indication what the house looked after. There is a more positive image for the buyer. "
Last year, Frye held 237 properties and make on line a similar number this year.
"Most properties are sold me within five to 10 days step," he said. "I'm often at night."
Unlike the work of interior designers who often focuses on the taste of a particular customer are home stagers is to create a look that has great appeal.
This basic approach is what draws Foxwell Drew, who worked in the Home Staging industry for two years.
"I was indoors always interested, [but] I have never been interested in the appearance of the interior design company. It is still too detailed," Foxwell, who launched his business in life, Home Staging Center said at the end of last year.
Foxwell, Parksville residents, worked as a licensed real estate agent, but the work of a home stager.
"On this side of the business, I think I successfully do see things can be good," he said. "I am here to see things well and I am from. I have to make sure that the customer likes the color. ... It is a design simple manner."
Riedel also sees differences between interior design and home staging.
The first is "true aspect of the design. What you need to know more about the internal and need to know power structures. Much of the design of architecture," he said, "Home Staging is in furniture and accessories. This is something that more is about aesthetics. "
But for David Briskie, an interior designer in the last 25 years and some 100 houses is carried out in the course of his career, there is little difference apart from the amount of time to each project and client output.
"If you have this quality [creative], you can can either do," he said.
Unlike interior designers who often buy new furniture and accents for customer use stagers parts - many personal collection - to decorate the room. The increase in such large quantities of furniture requires stagers to dominate a little organization - a storage system is the key - and the use of resources such Mietmöbel contact.
Riedel recognized organization skills make him a house in half a day on the stage.
"I did everything in Rubbermaid containers," Riedel said that all furniture and accessories are in your attic and closet at home Columbia, and in the basement of the house near her parents. All that marked and carried out in a computer system. "It is very accessible and easy to load into trucks. However, I'm getting really quickly have a storage area. I am passing space art."
Frye furniture stores in a warehouse of 3,000 square meters. With the size of the collection, it is simultaneously able to organize 40 houses.
Customers like Brian White swear Stagers work.
Columbia was the White House recently converted Riedel. Thus he sent to friends and supporters.
"I think the overall look and feel of space was ideal," White said. "It really is as good showed accent pieces. ... The visitor comments [Open] in general" that could see it. "This is the biggest response we can give."
Stagers are not only used for the sale of houses. In some cases, hire customers at home and other places for weddings, transform Bar Mitzvah / Bat and other special occasions. Briskie, director David Briskie design in Baltimore, has many events throughout the region, as well as New York and Los Angeles.
Foxwell is interested on the scene for special events in the industry. He sees it as a further development of his career.
