Merry Soellner, real estate broker, is promoting Home Staging : a strategy to help people with Cashiers homes for sale, Sapphire homes for sale and with WNC homes for sale in other areas as well, to be able to obtain higher selling prices for their homes and to sell their homes more swiftly. Soellner, a North Carolina licensed real estate broker with the Keller Williams office in the Cashiers-Sapphire area of western North Carolina, on US Highway 64, obtained her Home Staging Certification several years ago to reinforce her natural abilities and experience with interior decorating. She is an Accredited Home Staging Specialist and was awarded a certificate documenting her specialized training and experience.

Merry Soellner assists her husband's company, home architects Rand Soellner AIA, with interior designs for his custom home architecture, including some of the work appearing in a popular international book published last year called “House With A View,” which is available from Amazon.com.

WHAT EXACTLY IS HOME STAGING?
Staging is the process of glamorizing the appearance of a home by presenting it in an optimal light to maximize the selling price. Some of the techniques & recommendations that Merry implements are:
- Removal of homeowner’s excess personal items that the homeowner may not realize is perceived by potential buyers as clutter and that may make the home not appear welcoming to others unless removed.
- Repainting over-personalized exterior and interior colors/wall papers with more neutral shades that have more popular appeal.
- Removal/covering over of inappropriate items/materials with those that are more popular in the home’s market area.
- Trimming of trees, bushes and other vegetation to result in a lighter and neater curb appeal.
- Repositioning of furniture in all rooms for maximum appreciation of views, improved functional and social orientation and sometimes removal of some pieces to yield greater spaciousness.
- Many other techniques.

WHAT CAN I EXPECT FROM MY HOME STAGING SPECIALIST?
You can expect your specialist to be candid and professional. You will be offered professional opinions and advice on how to make your home show its very best, using the “tools of the trade”. Just remember, in the end, you make the decision on how much to do to enhance the appearance of your home and make it more saleable more quickly.
