In this video by WECT TV, it is clear that home staging will make it easier to sell you home in today’s difficult real estate market. Jessica Pirone with Just Perfect! Home Staging & more is featured in this news segment, showing off the wheres, whys and hows of home staging in Wilmington, NC.
As Jessica shows, professional home staging will help make cold, worn, dated or average spaces look and feel like turn-key model homes. Home Staging allows buyers to see the features and benefits rather than the flaws, particularly in vacant or overcrowded homes.

You see, Just Perfect Home Staging is, yes, a staging company, but one where homeowners have to earn the right to be clients, and are publicly graded on their compliance with the JP team’s recommendations. In a brilliant, brave, bold branding gesture JP set up a seal of approval program. That the realtor community have embraced this concept is incredibly impressive. I’ve met realtors in Wilmington and they’re a weary, tough bunch. (in fairness, I was meeting mainly rental agents)
Even more impressive, to me at least, is that Jessica’s company services homes for sale that range from starter homes in the $100,000′s to upscale homes on the beach. And, within this range, she has her pricing set so that she can employ a marketing person, a sales person, and a lead interior specialist!
But, wait, there’s more!Pin It
In this short video by Just Perfect Home Staging & more, Jessica Pirone shows how a simple plain living room benefits from home staging. The furniture in the home was perfectly nice, but with a professional stager’s touch, understanding of flow, floorplans, focal points and the impact of adding a few well placed accessories, the end result is a home that really pops.
The final result is this staged property sold for more than 70% faster than the competition and the client ended up saving over $8500 after the investment of staging.

For SAR’s stager trainer, Karen Otto, consultations amount to 70% of her staging income in today’s real estate market. Sometimes the service is paid for by the realtor, as a value-added benefit to secure the listing. Karen says that a solid 30% of those consultations turn into a full-fledged staging, and some home sellers just need one follow-up appointment for tweaking. So, it was the home below; and notice how dramatic the change is when an experienced, talented stager gets in the mix!Pin It
