My Process
1. Home Assessment
Overall, as an occupied home stager I focus on assessing the property, providing detailed recommendations, and guiding you, the homeowner, on how to effectively present their home to potential buyers. By using the sellers existing furniture, and space, I will transform the property into an appealing and marketable space that maximizes its selling potential.
2. Consultation with Client
I begin by evaluating the property, providing personalized recommendations, and guiding you, the home owner on editing items to make each room feel spacious, depersonalizing, and arranging your furniture. I will provide a detailed staging plan for you to execute, aimed at transforming the property into an inviting and visually appealing space that captivates potential buyers and increases the chances of a successful sale. Throughout the process, I will collaborate with you, ensuring you understand each recommendation and feel confident in presenting your home to the market.
3. Stage Install
The decorating and staging process involves implementing the recommendations from the initial assessment. This includes rearranging furniture, adding or updating décor elements to create a visually appealing and inviting atmosphere. I will strategically place accessories, artwork, and soft furnishings to highlight the property's best features, ultimately transforming it into an attractive and market-ready space that appeals to potential buyers and maximizes its selling potential through good quality online photos.
4. De-stage and Removal
My de-staging process for occupied home staging involves removing the staged items that I brought in and restoring the property to its original state once it has been sold or the staging period is complete. I will take down my accessories, artwork, and décor to leave the property in a clean, clutter-free condition for the new buyers.
About Me
Hi! My name is Trish Hanlon
I am an Occupied Home Stager in the Dallas/Fort Worth, TX area. I'm originally from Ohio, where I married my High School sweetheart and have two grown kids. After moving around with the Air Force, our family decided to put down roots here in beautiful Texas!!
I have always had a passion for decorating and design. When I was young I changed my bedroom around often, as well as my friends and family's spaces. Because of this I decided to train and intern to become certified as a Professional Home Stager.
My passion involves assessing, depersonalizing, editing, and staging homes for sale by utilizing the sellers furniture, along with my own personal art and accessories to bring life and coziness to otherwise unedited spaces.
Living in the home while selling it can be overwhelming and challenging, but with occupied staging I can provide a clear plan to attract buyers before they move out. Most homes sell faster and for more money than those that are not, and I love helping others meet both of these goals!
This allows me to:
- Prepare your home in the best possible way with your current furniture, as well as my own collection of items and décor to enhance each room
- Provide you with a detailed report for assessment on items to remove or to showcase based on my recommendations
- Guarantee your home is prepared for professional pictures to market online, enticing buyers to make an appointment for an in-person tour, and envision themselves living there
