Property Angels specializes in Staging high end vacation rentals, which is quite different from staging a house for sale, although we can do that too. Inherited wisdom tells us that "less is more" when preparing a house for sale; get rid of clutter, it makes the rooms look larger. The same cannot be said of a home offered to the market as a short term vacation rental. Visitors are not buying the architecture or mentally placing their furniture in your rooms. Rather they are buying into the lifestyle your home offers, and asking themselves if this is a great place to make happy memories.
Please remember that while you know that your home is very well equipped and dust free, strangers at a distance can't see inside your cupboards or take their white glove across the surfaces. They decide whether or not to short list your property on the basis of the photos and description. A well staged vacation rental home that has been sensitively photographed can rent for approximately 6 months of the year without a single showing in person. That's our track record, that's our expertise.
Before and after photos below show staging of the vintage 1970s kitchen in the Southold Beach House. Heavy duty wood laminate flooring and white emulsion paint replaced linoleum and dark powder blue paint. These modest changes transformed an uninviting room into a light and neutral space, dressed and ready to welcome friends or family for supper. The room staging emphasizes a shiny pan on the stove and includes white oven gloves hanging in the background. Do we really provide white oven gloves for our tenants? Yes we do, we have no problem attracting quality tenants and we want to assure the prospective renter that this kitchen is very clean and well equipped, before they make first contact with us.
