“Vision is the art of seeing what is invisible to others.” Jonathan Swift
At Mainsail Home Design, we use our vision and fresh perspective to provide resourceful home staging and decor, making homes more marketable to buyers and more pleasing to homeowners by maximizing their space and emphasizing their assets.
You will be amazed at the results – expedited sales and improved quality of life for the homeowner!
We offer home decor services through Home Staging, both owner-occupied homes and vacant homes, as well as Redesign for homeowners who want to revive and beautify their current spaces.
Here's the latest from Mainsail:
Hello to my wonderful clients & friends! As we adapt to our new temporary normal, each of us is affected differently by the coronavirus threat, but one thing for certain is that we are all in this together.
While heeding the warnings to stay in and social distance ourselves, we can also see that life goes on. Since homes still need to be bought and sold, I'm able to provide staging consultations via skype or Facetime, as well as the usual emailed reports and photos. This way, once things pick up and resume some kind of normalcy, your home will be ready to show and sell!
I'm also using this market lull to continue to learn and expand my skill sets, including taking a new certified training for E-Design. More on this to come next week.
Enjoy time with your loved ones and no matter what, the sun will rise tomorrow!

Fun fact - Ocean County, NJ is ranked #1 area for current buyer's markets! How does one sell in a buyer's market? Check out the list below for tips (from the article), namely the 7th point...staging!
TIPS FOR SELLING IN A BUYER'S MARKET
-Accept reality on pricing. Carefully scrutinize closed comparable sales—not list prices—to determine market value. -Get second opinions from knowledgeable insiders, such as local real-estate agents, building managers and HOA board members.
-Price at market value or slightly below to bring in the maximum number of home shoppers.
-Edit “home facts” on Zillow, Redfin and other online assessment tools so that their digital estimates match your home’s reality as closely as possible.
-Eliminate objections: Paint walls, refinish cabinetry, and make handyman fixes to any visible imperfections.
-Remove furniture, clutter, and anything old fashioned, highly personal or quirky from the home.
-Invest in staging: Agents say sellers should do the maximum amount of staging that they can afford. The top-shelf approach: Spending $5,000 to $10,000 to rent trendy furniture for two months.
-Start working on listing the house in February. The largest buyer pool will emerge in the spring.
Contact us today to set up your staging for a quick and profitable sale!
