In past years, homeowners were left to their own discretion as far as preparing for home showings. Though they could occasionally rely on an agent for instructions, more often than not real estate agents were just as perplexed at working out the details as the homeowner.

While agents are experts in the field of selling and closing, many are not design savvy. Agents usually know exactly what factors can help sell a home. It's just not always easy to get a home into selling condition in a timely manner without some sort of experienced assistance.

Portfolio provides home staging as a service to our sellers without charge. It is important for us to showcase our homes to rank above the rest! "This process is not decorating, fluffing, interior design or redesign! Home Staging is detailing, de-cluttering, depersonalizing and preparing a seller's home to give it a "model home" appearance so that the potential buyer can visualize themselves living in the home." This process makes the client's house presentable for sale. Staging sets the scene throughout the house to create immediate buyer interest in the property.
