Whether our design department is working on a staging project or an interior design project, it is often the little touches that make a difference.  Several weeks ago, we shared some "sneak peek" photos from the staging that we created for the "Gentlemen's Model".  Here are some additional pictures from that and another recently-completed model that highlight a few of our favorite accents.

A layering of rich textures creates a focal point on this end table.

Even in the bathroom, a basket of towels contributes to the welcoming feeling.

Carefully selected accessories compliment the furnishings.

In recent weeks, we at Key Associates have been busy working on a new presentation for Realtors on how we can be better partners in the selling of a home.  There are great opportunities for meaningful collaboration, and we can't wait to work more diligently to further open the lines of communication.  In the coming weeks, I will be checking in with local realtors in our North Carolina market and Lauren Wiles will be talking with Greenville area Realtors. We’ll be asking for a few moments to share our new presentation.  Here's a sneak peak at a slide on why partnering the expertise of Realtors with the professional staging provided by Key Associates creates a successful collaboration.  Please let us know if you'd like a presentation to come to you!

When trying to sell a home, money spent on home staging can be greatly beneficial and often nets much more in the sale of a home.  Statistics have proven that professional staging actually increases profits and decreases market time.  (See statistics from the Real Estate Staging Association, the National Association of Realtors and America Staging Professionals.)
