You Need an Occupied Home Stager when…

• You don’t want to move out to sell your home
• You’re worried you will pick the wrong colors 
• You and your spouse don’t agree on what to do

If any of that sounds like you, you are in the right place! My name is Kasia McDaniel and I help women over 50 and the Baby Boomer generation use items you already have in your home so that you can wow buyers and get offers to buy your home.

I was in the military for almost 10 years…

And we had to move every 2-3 years. We bought each home because we didn’t want to live on base.

With each move, I prepared each home to sell by decluttering, cleaning and rearranging furniture to make it appeal to a buyer. 

However, as I looked at houses for sale, I noticed sellers didn’t do much staging, if at all! I wanted to take them by the shoulders, shake them and say, “Do you know you can sell your home faster just by doing x, y and z? Do you know that by not doing these things, you are turning buyers away?”

“Kasia, you should be a designer”

I picked out the colors, the layout, the furniture and put them all together. My family wanted to know when I would be renting out the place and for how much!

So I looked into it because I wasn’t happy in my current job. I should have been grateful for the job I did have that paid me lots of money. People thought I was crazy to leave it.

But when I looked at my life in a different perspective, I realized I never chose my career. The military chose it for me.

So what would I have done instead?

After much soul searching and looking into Interior Design school at the age of 38, I realized I was too old to “go back to school”. I didn’t have time to spend 4 more years again and THEN find a design company.

I wanted things done now.

Which is when I discovered occupied home staging. After reading the description about home staging, I realized I ALREADY DID THAT with each home I owned and sold.

So I immediately got to work and started sharing my staging success stories.

I realized homeowners need to be shown how they can get their home sold faster.

And it doesn’t take much. Sometimes it’s just getting a fresh perspective from someone who has not lived in the home and seen the same stuff over and over again.

I discovered homeowners didn’t know where to begin to get their house sold. They thought all they had to do was vacuum up a bit and put a “For Sale” sign up. Nope that wasn’t going to work anymore.

I created many different free products but realized homeowners really wanted face-to-face interaction. I had to show them where to move the furniture, bring in accessories to show off the space and tie it all together with the “the look” that made the house look irresistible to buyers.

There are enough obstacles in your way, and one of them should not be, “I don’t know where to start.”

Imagine waking up and learning you have the first piece of getting your house ready to sell.

All you need is a guide (like me as an occupied home stager) to show you how to best stage your home using items you already have in your house without having to empty it, get rental furniture and live elsewhere while your house is on the real estate market.
