"HOME STAGING:

The Power That Sells Real Estate"

Featuring Chicagoland Home Staging's Margaret Gehr, is the book, "Home Staging: The Power That Sells Real Estate" which outlines the why behind the best staged homes. 

From professional home stagers, this book shows sellers how to get the best price from a property.  With a wide range of homes on the market, the book shows how to appeal to the right kind of buyers for your listing through:

Showcasing

Occupied home staging

Vacant home staging

Curb appeal

Luxury properties

Renovations

Marketing

Pricing

This is an invaluable resource to sell a property faster and for more money, no matter the state of the market.

Available at: Kindle

"I ONLY use CHS! Their service enhances my homes and they sell faster and at a higher price. CHS is a champion vendor with Jill Clark Homes and my Fine and Luxury Real Estate business!"

Jill Clark Homes 

 

 

"I attribute all of my success and my rise to the Top 1% of all RE/MAX Agents in all of Northern Illinois to Margaret Gehr and CHS. My sellers reduce their marketing time by at least one third, and they generally triple in return the amount of initial investment that might be needed for the prep work and staging."

Sue Hedlund, RE/MAX Suburban

"I consistently rely on CHS for expert and tasteful staging. The investment always brings a return with higher offers and faster sales."

Kris Berger, President, Compass Hinsdale

"I was amazed that CHS managed to transform my house in just one day. We had two offers the first weekend! Thank you and the team for everything.”

Colleen Jennings, Seller, Naperville

"We’ve worked with CHS countless times over the years and have found Margaret and her team to be absolute professionals, consistently willing to go the extra mile to ensure our complete satisfaction. Their ability to showcase the best a property has to offer is second to none. Highly recommend!" 

Karen Marposon, Principal Broker, Monarque Group, Keller Williams infinity

"Chicagoland Home Staging knocks it out of the park. The super talented team did a great job enhancing my home. I found the turn key process super easy and trusted them with the creative design and freedom to what they thought was necessary. The overall all results were stunning!"
 
Milan Shah, Direct Floors 

"Chicagoland Home Staging has provided the perfect style of furnishings and accessories to bring out the best features of each home enhancing the online presence. Their talents coincide with my vision of how I like to present a listing to the market. Margaret and her team are Pros and a pleasure to work with."
