Realty Enhancement Service / Home "Staging"
For years the key word you would always hear from real
estate brokers would be, Location!, Location!, Location! However, these days and in this market another very important word to use is, Presentation!, Presentation!, Presentation!
"Staging" a house is presenting the house at its best ... there's only 7 seconds to make that first impression.
Of the last 6 "Home Staging" consultations by Marjorie, 5 houses sold within 2 to 30 days and the 6th house, which had been on the market for 2 -1/2 years, sold in 3-1/2 weeks!
Guess what? Proper presentation works - and it can work for you!
First Impressions are Crucial -
"I had the property listed for sale for 4 months with no offers. Marjorie enhanced (staged) the house specifically for sale and it was displayed at a Realty Open House. The house sold in 4 days."
By using the Realty Enhancement Service (REI) home "Staging" process and the "KEYHOLE" Technique, the home is visually readied for the real estate market. When the contents are arranged to "highlight" the best features of the house, buyers can "picture" themselves living there.

Terri Goodwin / Realtor --Charleston, SC
"For the first time ever my main living room is comfortable, livable, and functional with fun design details ... After working with Familiar Elegance which took about 8 hours, I am now able to use the space for our family's needs and not continue to stress out about misplaced items - it feels so "Feng Shui". I was so impressed that I hired Marjorie again to help with my office and have recommended Familiar Elegance to 3 other people."
M. Bundschuh / Mt. Pleasant, SC
"Since my husband and I "downsized", arranging our furniture and accessories to fit in a smaller home was quite a challenge! Marjorie knew how to make everything both beautiful and functional. She has a great flair for style!"
