Founder
Entrances Home Staging
(Public Company; Computer Software industry)
May 2007 — Present (2 years 7 months)
Developed business concept, branding and operational procedures. Home staging is the creative process used to prepare a home for marketing to yield the maximum sale price in minimum time. Most homeowners cannot view their home with an impartial eye, making it difficult to visualize potential selling pitfalls. One of the most difficult realities for homeowners to face is that even though they have spent time, energy and money giving their home a personal feel, it is not necessarily going to achieve the same feeling for someone else. Entrances knows from experience what will work for the buying public, and assesses homes with a buyer’s eye. At Entrances Home Staging, we offer:
• Staging consultation
• Whole house organization
• Complete home staging
• Vacant home staging
• Garage sale preparation
• Marketing materials
• Open house preparation
• Room makeovers
• Faux finishing
• Move-in services -
