I have a theory about staging a home. It's not about making the house look "lived in" with less clutter, it's about telling a story. A story well told evokes a response from a reader in subtle and symbolic ways, a staged home can do the same for a buyer.
Almost every house is going to suggest its story to you if you're paying attention. My favorite homes to sell are often the ones where the story is almost hidden, where I have to do a bit of detective work to find it. Unearthing, and then fine tuning the narrative, is always half the fun.
My new listing at 95 Hazelwood has a story to tell. Half is real and half imagined, and started with some old water skiing trophies I found in the basement. It evolved as I got to better know the people who had made the house a home over the years. It comes on the market Weds, April 25th with an open house this Sunday, April 29th from 2-4pm at 95 Hazelwood Road in Bloomfield. I'll let the pictures do the rest of the talking.
