Staging A Home For Sale On Any LI Budget
By Betsy Abraham Special to Newsday November 12, 2019
Keren Crispin says she knew she needed help the first time she opened her Dix Hills home to potential buyers. When she hosted an open house for the unoccupied 3,000-square-foot property, a couple expressed concern about how their furniture would fit in the expansive space.
“I was blown away. How could they not see it?” says Crispin, 47, an investor from Great Neck. “It occurred to me … people need imagination. If it’s not staged, people have no idea where they’re going to put the TV or the couch or the table.”
With the help of home stager Janice Hauptman of Remix and Match in Roslyn Heights, Crispin had her living room, dining room, kitchen and family room staged for six months for $7,500. She defined each room of the open concept home and incorporated neutral tones so the rooms easily flowed into each other. The home sold in under two months.
