Staging

Most buyers would love to have a “magazine-cover” home that is move-in ready. The truth is Maine homes are typically more modest in price and scale and although staging isn’t needed for every home, some may need a little attention. Common issues to address are outdated décor (think shag rugs or harvest gold appliances) or taste specific décor (like poker playing dogs on velvet or a roomful of dolls staring at you).  If YOUR home could use a little sprucing up, when you list with Sherrie you get an added benefit of Staging and Re-Design Services for FREE. 

Staging has been proven to sell a home for more money in less time. In a 2020 study conducted by Home Staging Resource, 85% of staged homes sold for up to 25% more than unstaged homes. And according to Realtor.com, professionally staged homes sell 88% faster and for up to 20% higher prices compared to unstaged homes. Thanks to shows on HGTV, homebuyers expect to see picture-perfect houses when shopping for their new HOME. To hire a professional stager can be pricey and cost thousands of dollars. That’s why you hire Sherrie and The Benner Group to Sell and Stage (Re-Design) your home at a huge savings to you since these services are included… a package deal!               

Staging a house might include strategic placement of furniture, neutral décor, paring down, and/or refreshing homeowner's own belongings. Sherrie Re-Designs by repurposing what you might already have and bringing in carefully curated pieces to enhance and supplement. Oftentimes she surprises homeowners with pieces designed on the spot utilizing cast off items from their basements or garages like a vintage sewing machine stand turned bar cart. Your home is staged with a professional eye, highlighting the positive and minimizing the negative. Even challenging situations can be overcome. Need to feature a bedroom that’s only accessible by an awkward spiral staircase? She has a clever trick for that …. Want to know the secret?
