With newer industry technology such as Zillow, Redfin, etc., buyers have begun to make many initial decisions based on photographs, most importantly, whether or not to make the time to tour your home in person. Prior to the rise of these websites, buyers relied more heavily on the advice and direction of their real estate agent, often viewing new homes for the first time in person on a days, weeks or months long tour of the available inventory that matched their search criteria. Now your home must shine in your professional listing photographs in order to even stand a chance of being seen.  And once the buyers do arrive, it must live up to their expectations of perfection. We all live in our homes very differently than the way that they need to be presented upon introduction to the real estate market.  Buyers expectations have changed along with the changes in technology affecting the way the entire real estate industry operates.

At KCD Staging we thrive on keeping up with current real estate technologies and trends and we go the extra mile to ensure your home is staged for success.  Contact us today to preview your home or request a proposal at 206.353.8731.
