Staging® your home will give it "The WOW Factor" and set it apart from the competition.
Amy Schuman, Accredited Staging Professional™ (ASP™), is a dedicated professional who has studied and mastered the proven and powerful techniques of Staging® homes.
What is Home Staging®?
When you place your home on the market for sale it becomes a product. Similar to a product on the shelf at your local store, your home has competition. To compete in the marketplace, your home must be priced right and look better than the other products. Staging® is the process of preparing a home for sale using a proven set of guidelines. An ASP™ will help you present your home in the best possible light.
Benefits of using an Accredited ASP Real Estate Agent:
Statistics show that Staged Homes sell faster and/or for more money than their competition.
Staging® sets the scene throughout the house to create immediate buyer interest.
Real Estate agents will have great confidence in showing your home to potential buyers.
Your property will show better on flyers and websites (85% of consumers now view potential properties through the Internet)
Your property will be featured on StagedHomes.com (receiving over 6 million hits per month).

"A model of how the Internet can facilitate the process of deciding where to send your children to school" - America's Best School Profiles by The Heritage Foundation
Significant tax reform legislation was signed into law with the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997. This legislation replaced both the one-time $125,000 tax-free exclusion for homeowners aged 55 and older, and the "rollover" deferment of capital gains tax requiring the purchase of a replacement home of higher or equal cost within two years of the sale of your principal residence.
With this change, a married couple filing their taxes jointly pays capital gains taxes only on that portion of home sales profits that exceeds $500,000. Single taxpayers, heads of households, and married persons filing separately may exclude up to $250,000. The exclusion is available for all sales of homes that occurred on or after May 6, 1997. Homeowners can use this tax-free provision every two years.
You are allowed to keep these tax-free profits only if you have owned and used the home as your principal residence for two out of the five years prior to the sale of the property. Although the regulations do not require continuous occupancy, the IRS specifies that your principal residence must be the home you use for the majority of time during the year. Consult your tax advisor about your personal circumstance.
