Carolina Spaces' owner and lead designer, Joan Inglis, was recently asked by Redfin to provide her secrets on appealing to buyers in the Charleston, SC area, and her response was featured in their blog "37 Home Staging Experts Share the Secret to Appeal to Buyers in Your City."

"Charleston, SC home buyers want to see luxury finishes that are both functional and comfortable - large showers with overhead rainfal; kitchens with an abundance of natural light; and light fixture packages that complement the architecture of the home.  The most preferred colors in new construction, updating materials, and paint are neutrals mixed with whites.  Popular accent colors are all shades of blue.

Buyers want an open floor plan, but they get confused on how to layout furniture.  Builders and sellers need to furnish the open living, kitchen and eating area at a minimum in vacant houses.  Sellers are selling square footage; they should never show wasted space."

Carolina Spaces had the honor of completing numerous home staging projects during the third quarter of 2016:

  • Providing DIY home staging consultations to sellers and Realtors®
  • Furnishing and Staging beautiful vacant properties (resale, new construction and model homes) with our inventory of new and name brand furnishings
  • Staging lived-in properties using the homeowner's own furnishings - supplementing where needed
  • Providing renovation recommendations and material selections to homeowners, new construction home buyers and real estate investors
  • Creating relationships with new clients! 

After we reviewed our successes - and with many stagings to choose from - our team picked our Favorite Home Staging project of Q3! 

This new construction home in Charlotte was staged prior to listing to ensure that the home was show-ready before hitting the market. Carolina Spaces staged both the interior and exterior living areas of this home using our inventory of new and name brand, designer furnishings.

The result? This $1.2 Million staged home was under contract in 14 days!


For luxury home staging, it is important that the quality of furnishings used in the staging are appropriate for the quality and price point of the home. Marketing high end real estate requires a different home staging strategy. To impress high end buyers, the staging must enhance the home's luxury feel and convey a luxury lifestyle. Quality is visible! So Carolina Spaces uses only high end, name brand furnishings that are custom selected for each of our luxury home staging projects. We make sure these properties are presented at their best. Find more information on our award-winning, luxury home staging services is available at here.

Carolina Spaces can help your home sell faster and for the highest price possible - at any price point!  Don't risk losing money with a price reduction!  There is a reason why Carolina Spaces is the market leader locally, and one of the top staging and design companies nationally.

Trust your largest investment - your home - to our professional, award-winning team of home staging experts! We have over 60 years of combined experience in real estate marketing and sales, Home Staging, Model Home Merchandising, and Interior Design. We are the winner of Charlotte's Best Vacant Home Staging; the regional winner of Best Luxury Staging; the statewide winner of Best Model Merchandising/Design in both NC and SC; and Best Staging Excellence, an international award!

The Carolina Spaces team saw our home staging services lead to many successful sales during the first quarter of 2016. With dozens of homes staged and sold, it was hard to highlight just one. So, we've picked our top three favorite home staging projects of the quarter!
The Bronze goes to a Rock Hill, SC home staging project!
 
The homeowner of this $224,900 property in Rock Hill, SC recognized the need for professional guidance to get this home show-ready. Carolina Spaces came in, toured the entire property with the homeowner, and created a step-by-step DIY home staging plan to show off the home's features and attract potential buyers. Home staging worked, and this property was under contract in less than 25 hours!
 
The Silver goes to this Charlotte, NC home staging project!
 
 

This stunning $674,900 new construction in Charlotte, NC sat on the market for 9 months as a home builder's vacant spec home. Feedback from over 200 showings all came back consistent - the family room was too small. So, Carolina Spaces was called in to help! We brought in our stunning inventory and staged the property, paying close attention to the family room. Buyers have a hard time visualizing size and scale in a vacant property (truly, only 10% can visualize the potential of a property!), so we ensured that our staging showed room function and potential furniture placement. Our home staging worked, and this property was under contract in 19 days!

And...The Gold goes to this Charlotte, NC home staging project!
 
 
Both the homeowner and Realtor of this $242,000 condo in the NODA area of Charlotte, NC understood the importance of properly staging a home prior to listing on the market. They trusted Carolina Spaces' full-service home staging to transform the vacant condo into an appealing space to the NODA buyer.  Within hours of listing, multiple offers poured in, and this property was under contract in 0 days!
