YOUR home or OUR home? We want to buy OUR home!
- Terrylynn Fisher, CSP Realtor

The gap is widening between home staging and interior design.  The interior designer has their place in personalizing and creating the homeowner's vision for their everyday living experience.  The decorator discovers your personality and brings your unique wants and needs to your space.  Your home becomes the essence of your lifestyle, choices and personality.

Fast forward to selling.  The professional home stager removes the YOU and gives space and function to the home with less personalized décor, allowing the buyer's feelings to emerge as to how they would utilize your home as their home, should they purchase it. They FEEL at home as it reflects them and their lifestyle. They SEE the home as it would suit their family needs and situation. 

If a home feels like YOUR home or grandma's house, it cannot feel like OUR house.  It's too crowded because YOU are there.  When it is YOUR home it cannot be OUR home, until you have let it go.  Clutching your memories keeps you in the house, and the buyers out as they do not want to disturb your memories.  These psychological as well as physical memories get in the way of a buyer envisioning their own future memories and they just move on to the home that feels right.
