The Joss-Impact Advantage: A Winning Partnership

We’re excited to share the story of a fantastic partnership, one that just works. We’re talking about the one we have with Ryan Joss and his incredible team at Joss Family Homes. For us at Impact Home Staging and Interior Design Service, located right here in Troy, Michigan, this collaboration is a perfect example of how our expertise can elevate a builder’s vision.

Ryan Joss isn’t just any builder; this guy’s got it in his blood, a third-generation craftsman who pretty much grew up on a construction site with the local family business, Livonia Builders. Now, as the owner of Joss Family Homes (check out their outstanding work at RyanJoss.com), it shows through in every home they craft. What impresses us is Ryan’s commitment to quality and his hands-on approach – he’s the owner-operator and he oversees every project as if it were being built for his own family.

Turning Empty Spaces into “Sold!” Moments

We’ve had the pleasure of staging several of Joss Family Homes properties, and honestly, the results have been amazing. Ryan puts it perfectly:

“Impact’s staging always far exceeds our goals. The team is fast, efficient, and purposeful. The staging has sped up our sales rate with our speculative homes selling within the first week or sooner.”

Think about it – walking into an empty house can feel… well, empty. It’s hard to picture your furniture, your life, and special moments in a space that doesn’t speak to you. Impact’s staging changes all that. We bring a hint of warmth, personality, and help potential buyers truly see themselves living there, giving them certainty. As Ryan says, without staging, a home can look “boring and blank,” making it tough for people to connect and commit – something Impact’s strategic staging combats.

What’s impressed Ryan most about our staging?

“Honestly everything. It is a well-run business, that is always on top of it. I was instantly impressed with the staging itself. The team know exactly what to do, and execute it well.”

Taking it to the Next Level with Impact’s Interior Design

The success we achieved with staging led to a continued collaboration. Ryan knows that to really take his homes to the next level and provide a complete product, professional interior design was a non-negotiable. Since Joss Family Homes didn’t have an in-house designer, partnering with Impact Home Interior Design Service felt like a seamless and logical step.

We Understand Builders and Buyers

When asked what makes Impact Home Staging and Interior Design Service different, Ryan pointed out our 20+ year reputation and experience, especially with model homes in the Metro Detroit area. “As soon as I was told Impact handles most model homes in the area, I knew I had found the right team. We were fortunate enough to be right about our assumption.”

For Ryan, it all comes down to a few key points that Impact consistently delivers:

“Timeliness, Efficiency, Thoroughness, Quality Designs, and the Perfect Touch to any home.”

And his favorite part of working with us? “The reveal is probably the most exciting part. Seeing one of our houses become a home over the course of one day is always rewarding.” For us at Impact, that moment of transformation and the client’s satisfaction are what fuel our passion.

Partner with the Experts in Staging and Design

Ryan has some straightforward advice that speaks directly to the value Impact provides:

“Do it. I recommend it to everyone. People are always hesitant to ‘sink more money’ into a project or home. But I think I saw best on your website years ago, that the cost to stage is a lot less expensive than lowering the price of the home. This statement could not be truer.”

Working with Ryan to bring his vision to life through Impact’s design expertise has been a true collaboration. “The most valuable part of this has been the one-on-one effort provided by the designer themselves. It was very collaborative and helpful.” This personalized approach and dedication to understanding the client’s needs are central to Impact’s design process.

“Every aspect of our first home that we utilized the service on is my favorite. There is not one thing we are not in love with.”

The success with staging absolutely paved the way for the interior design collaboration. Ryan’s expectations were not just met but exceeded, with detailed material information making the process smooth and easy.

Looking ahead, Ryan is excited about the ever-evolving world of real estate and design, always eager to keep Joss Family Homes innovative. And Impact Home Staging and Interior Design Service is thrilled to be his partner in navigating these trends and bringing fresh design to his homes.

A Big Thank You and Exciting Future, Together

In Ryan’s own words:

“I would like to thank all of the team at Impact Home Staging and Interior Design Service first and foremost. You guys have helped bring our homes to the next level and are helping us continue to do so. We are excited to see how we can elevate our design and continue to exceed the status quo.”

You can follow the journey of Joss Family Homes on Instagram and YouTube at JossHomes, where their dedication to quality and work truly shines. And know that behind the scenes, Impact Home Staging and Interior Design Service is a proud partner in their success.

From all of us here at Impact Home Staging and Interior Design Service in Troy, Michigan, we’re incredibly grateful for the trust and partnership with Ryan and Joss Family Homes. We’re excited for what the future holds, together!

Spring Home Staging Secrets for Troy, Michigan Sellers: Maximize Your Sale This Season!

Spring has finally sprung across Southeast Michigan, and it comes with a rush of homebuyers itching to find their perfect future home. If you’re selling your occupied home this season in Oakland County, Wayne County, or Macomb County, you have a fantastic opportunity to capitalize on this energy. Your house has been your home, so it’s been lived-in and loved. But a little strategic staging can make all the difference in winning buyers’ hearts and maximizing the sale price of your home in the Metro Detroit Real Estate Market.

Occupied Home Staging, Impact Home Staging Experts

At Impact Home Staging Experts, we specialize in transforming occupied homes into show stopping listings. We understand that you’re living in the space, and our approach is designed to be collaborative, minimally disruptive, easy to maintain, and highly effective. Here are our 2025 spring staging secrets for occupied homes that you can get started on :

1. Embrace Spring Sunshine:

  • Let there be light: It has been a long winter in Michigan, so it’s time to open those shades! Maximize natural daylight to create a bright and airy feel that buyers crave in springtime. Clean windows inside and out to enhance the effect.
  • Bring the outdoors in: Introduce touches of spring with fresh flowers, potted greenery, or even bowls of lemons and limes on the kitchen counter. Avoid overly artificial or overwhelming floral arrangements.
  • Color Refresh: Consider adding a few strategically placed spring-toned throw pillows, blankets, or accent pieces. Think soft blues, greens, yellows. These small changes can bring a fresh and inviting vibe without a major overhaul.

2. Declutter and Depersonalize:

  • Cleaning Power: Now is the perfect time for a thorough declutter, and it is never too soon to get a head start on this. Focus on very little countertop clutter in the kitchen and bathrooms, organizing closets, and removing any unnecessary items that can make the space feel smaller or too personal.
  • Depersonalize: Buyers need to envision themselves in the home, too many personal objects and photos can make it harder for them look past. We are the experts at curating a neutral environment while still maintaining a comfortable feel for your family. Our Home Staging Consultation is your starting point!
  • Focusing on Function: Each room should showcase its intended purpose. Define spaces and remove any items that don’t belong.

The way we live in our home is not how we sell our house

3. Highlight Key Selling Features:

  • Showcase Seasonal Appeal: If you have a nice patio or garden, make it shine! Stage outdoor spaces with clean matching furniture and well kept plants.
  • Emphasize Natural Flow: Buyers should be able to visualize themselves living and entertaining in the space.
  • Updates and Improvements: If you’ve recently made any spring-related updates make sure these are clearly visible and highlighted.
Our Occupied Home Staging Consultation is your best marketing tool!

4. Partner with the Professionals:

  • Expert Guidance: Our experienced staging team at Impact Home Staging Experts can provide an objective perspective while creating a staging plan that works for your home and your lifestyle.
  • Strategic Placement: We can advise on how to best arrange your existing furniture to maximize space and flow, and we can bring in supplemental pieces if needed (from our large warehouse of owned inventory).
  • Accessorizing for Impact: We have an eye for selecting the right accessories that will enhance your home’s appeal without feeling impersonal.

Staging for the Senses: Why “Experience” Trumps “Stuff” in 2025

Looking at the year ahead, Metro Detroit homebuyers are not just looking for four walls and a roof; they’re seeking an experience when they are home shopping. Gone are the days of just showcasing materials and appliances (sometimes, lack thereof). Today’s serious and savvy buyers crave spaces that make them feel something, evoke emotion, inspire a lifestyle, and resonate with their best life forward.

The shift in this newfound focus calls for a “new” approach to home staging. Instead of simply filling a room with “stuff,” stagers must now prioritize creating an ambiance. While this may be making its way to the public, this is what we have always strived for. Simple is simply better! When you request a quote from Impact Home Staging Experts, we will always make it well known that we will only recommend what is needed to help the home sell better, faster, and for more.

So, what is our approach anyways? And what have we been doing for the last 20+ years in our line of expertise? We stage for the senses, of course!

How to Stage for the Senses:

Mood is Key:

Before we even pick and place a piece of furniture that is stored in our enormous warehouse located in Troy, we do a preview and get a sense of the mood, and who exactly are the sellers trying to attract? Getting our eyes on the property acts as the visual guide that will help define the desired atmosphere.

We are always staging for the buyer in mind, not the seller. When you sell your home, it is very important to detach from the property, allowing others to emotionally connect with the possibilities of this being their new home.

  • A few questions we consider after viewing a vacant property are:
    • What emotions are we wanting to draw out in this space? (Relaxation, energy, creativity, etc.) This can all be done with a color scheme that flows from room to room, or even the accessories and art that we bring into the space.
    • What kind of lifestyle do we want to represent and what kind of buyer is looking? A home that is more family forward and growing would demand brighter colors, and more casual. Whereas a busy professional might look for a more sophisticated look with even a touch of glam.
    • What colors and decor will best achieve the desired ambiance? Yellows and oranges scream cheery and fun, where the more neutral tones tends to lean a bit more towards a relaxing vibe.
  • Focus on Furniture Arrangement:
    • Furniture placement plays a crucial role in creating flow and defining distinct areas within a space. We want the buyers to walk in and picture themselves entertaining, or having holiday dinners at the dining room table. If they can picture themselves in this property, it will keep this option top of mind when they decide what home they choose to purchase.
    • Experiment with different layouts to encourage movement and conversation. The way we live in our home is not how we sell our home. The day to day furniture arrangements make sense to us, but when listing your home, that is not the case. We have a keen eye bringing the property up a level or two, and much of this has to do with how we place the furniture.
    • We like to create cozy conversation nooks or inviting reading corners, whenever we can. This shows potential buyers that the odd nooks and corners that could be viewed as wasted space serve a purpose and function. Maximizing every square inch is crucial in adding value to the property.

We are not a fan of clutter. It is distracting and takes away from the elements of the home. Everyone has their own taste when it comes to interior styling, so there is a fine line with the pieces we might pick out for our own space and what we decide to use for staging purposes.

Decorate with Intention: Our rule of thumb when it comes to décor:

  • Every decorative element should serve a purpose beyond simply filling space.
  • Incorporate items that tell a story and reflect the desired lifestyle.
  • Don’t go too heavy on trends. A nice mix of trendy and classic is best when trying to appeal to the largest pool of likely buyers.
  • Use soft, inviting textures like plush rugs and cozy throws.
  • Incorporate natural elements like flowers or plants.
  • Engage all the senses!

By prioritizing the buyer in mind when we stage and intent of an immersive and emotionally resonant experience, our professional home staging experts can help sellers attract discerning buyers and achieve top dollar for their properties.

In a world increasingly dominated by the digital, the power of a truly felt experience is more valuable than ever. Impact Home Staging Experts understands the importance of staging for the senses. Contact us today to learn how we can help you create a captivating and unforgettable experience for potential buyers.

RAISE YOUR BEVERAGE GAME: Creating a home bar by Impact Home Staging Experts

,

In recent years, the trend of bringing the bar experience into the home has gained immense popularity. Whether you’re a coffee connoisseur or a mixology enthusiast, creating a dedicated space for your favorite beverages adds a touch of sophistication and comfort to your home. In this blog post, we’ll explore creative ideas for designing and crafting your own coffee or cocktail bar, with a focus on off-the-shelf options and solutions for small spaces.

Off-the-Shelf Solutions

One of the easiest ways to kickstart your home bar project is by exploring ready-made options. Many furniture and décor stores offer pre-designed bar carts, cabinets, and shelving units that cater to various styles and preferences. Look for materials that complement your home décor, such as wood, metal, or glass.

Consider bar carts with wheels for flexibility and easy mobility, especially if your space does double duty, i.e. a living room and dining area combo. You can even roll it outside for al fresco libations!

Small Space Solutions

Limited square footage doesn’t mean you have to compromise on style or functionality, thanks to readily available space-saving furniture and clever storage solutions. Wall-mounted shelves, fold-down tables, and compact bar cabinets can make the most of every inch. Consider multi-functional furniture that can serve as both a storage and a serving area, ensuring your small home bar is practical and visually appealing. A corner cabinet can double as a bar anywhere you have an awkward corner to fill.

Caffeine Corner

For coffee enthusiasts, a dedicated coffee bar can transform your mornings. Choose a cozy corner in your kitchen or any living space (primary bedroom is a great choice) and set up a coffee station with your favorite brewing equipment. You can even tuck a 2.5 gallon water jug with a dispenser (available at most grocery stores) into the cabinet if you don’t have a handy water source nearby.

Display coffee beans in stylish containers, hang mugs on hooks, and personalize your space with artwork or signs that reflect your love of all things coffee.

Shaken or Stirred?

For those who enjoy a well-crafted libation, a dedicated cocktail bar can be a game-changer.

From niche-sized bars to fully-dedicated rooms, the sky (and your budget) is the limit.

This small space bar uses home-improvement store cabinetry and appliances accented with a mirrored backsplash to visually enlarge the space and display barware. This is a great option if you collect vintage barware, like we do!

If the bar is in a carpeted area, a pretty, washable throw rug will protect against spills and stains.

/

And if you’re really serious about a home bar, well, we can dream, right?

Be the Toast of the Town!

Designing and creating a coffee or cocktail bar in your home is a rewarding project that allows you to showcase your personal style and elevate your entertaining experience. With off-the-shelf options, clever small space solutions, and a touch of creativity, you can transform any corner of your home into a stylish and functional oasis for enjoying your favorite beverages.

And if you’re craving something a little “extra”, our design team is always here to help you with custom solutions from basic to luxe. Whether you’re thinking of nook or an entire room worthy of a of a trendy craft cocktail venue, just give us a call!

Impact Home Staging Experts: What to Expect During a Staging Consultation 

,

Embarking on the journey of selling your home can be both exciting and overwhelming. At Impact Home Staging Experts, we understand the importance of making a stellar first impression to potential buyers. Our consultation service is designed to guide our customers through the process of preparing their home for sale to ensure it shines in the best possible light. Let’s take a closer look at what clients can expect during our consultation.

Our Process

Every home seller is unique, so we begin by getting some key information about our clients to provide the most useful information to help them prepare their home for sale.  Our primary goal is to understand the client’s goals, timeframe, and any other information pertinent to the upcoming move.  Does the homeowner plan to sell or donate some furniture prior to moving?  Will they be living in the home during the sales process?  Will there be time to paint (if necessary) or make larger home improvements that we might suggest? All of this “intel” helps us better formulate a workable plan that suits the customer’s specific needs and situation.

Staging is not “decorating”, and we help sellers understand this distinction.  Decorating is very personal based on specific likes and personal tastes.  Since taste is very personal, what one person likes may not appeal to the potential buyer.  This can strongly influence whether a buyer makes an offer or walks away.

Our goal is for a buyer to see the listed property as their future home.   Our aim is to transform the home in a way that will appeal to (and make an emotional connection with) the largest pool of home buyers.  We make sure sellers know that nothing we say is personal; our knowledge comes from 20 years of experience and putting it to work for you will help you sell FASTER and for MORE MONEY!

Whole-House Walkthrough

Our next step is a quick, high-level overview of your entire house that allows us to capture first impressions and note potential areas of improvement. We encourage you to grab a notepad and pen while we perform this quick walkthrough, which is aimed at gaining an understanding of what we have to work with. During this time, we will take “before” pictures as needed to document the current state.

Consultation and Discussion

Now the heart of the consultation unfolds. We always start with the exterior and curb appeal, underscoring the significance of this as the first impression. Moving through the home with a “buyer’s eye,” we discuss the importance of key spaces such as kitchens, bathrooms, foyers, and living rooms.

The consultation involves selecting and tagging items to stay in each space, potentially creating diagrams for layout. We might discuss recommended paint colors or minor repairs that are needed.  We also consider things like a room’s “flow” (is it too crowded?), the amount of natural light, and whether each room has a dedication function. An example might be making sure a dining room is staged as a dining room even if it’s currently a child’s play area. An integral part of the consultation addresses potential deal-breakers, such as odors, clutter, pet hair or damage, and any necessary repairs. 

While this is primarily a “walk and talk”, we can offer minor hands-on help if needed, such as moving art or small items. If key rooms are empty or require additional furnishings, we discuss supplemental staging, offering to send a quote for the client to review.   

The Deliverable

At the end of the 1.5-hour consultation, you can expect a summary of the top five to ten priorities and how to address them. Our aim is not only to enhance the appeal of your home but also to equip you with valuable insights into the selling process. With Impact Home Staging Experts, your journey to a successful home sale begins with a thoughtful and comprehensive consultation.

Impact Home Staging Experts Takes a Deep Dive into Pool Trends for 2023

At Impact Home Staging Experts, we stay abreast of the trends in home design. And since it’s the dog days of summer, we’re going to dive into the latest trends in swimming pools! Adding a swimming pool is the ultimate form of “home improvement”! From genius smart pools to nature-loving eco-designs that make squirrels want to party, we’ll explore the (sometimes wacky) trends that await you this year.  

Smart Pools: Imagine controlling your pool with a touch of a button! 

Smart pools in 2023 let you change the water temperature from your hammock and adjust pH levels from your poolside taco feast. But beware, with great power comes great responsibility. One wrong click, and you might find yourself in the midst of a rubber duck invasion! 

Energy Efficiency: Pools that make the sun jealous and make you feel good about yourself.

In the age of environmental consciousness, energy-efficient pools are all the rage. Picture pumps that sip electricity, LED lights that turn your pool into a disco on water, and solar heating systems that harness the sun’s power.  

Eco-Friendly Designs: Say goodbye to cookie-cutter pools and hello to nature-inspired designs.! 

Picture pools with organic shapes, sustainable materials, and even spaces for wildlife to join the pool party (ewww, duck poop!). Dive into a pool that feels like a hidden lagoon, all while reducing your environmental footprint. It’s like swimming with Mother Nature’s seal of approval! 

Vanishing Edge and Infinity Pools: Pools that create the illusion of water extending into infinity.

But be careful, your brain might struggle to distinguish where the pool ends and the sky begins. 

Wellness and Health Features:

Why settle for an ordinary pool when you can have a wellness retreat? In 2023, pools come equipped with underwater treadmills, resistance currents, and hydrotherapy jets. You can get fit, relax, and feel like a star of “Baywatch” all in one! (Red bathing suit optional.)

Sustainable and Low-Maintenance Materials:

Pools that let you be lazy and still have a sparkling oasis, perfect for synchronized swimming with your inflatable dolphin squad! In 2023, sustainable and low-maintenance materials are all the rage. Picture recycled glass, natural stone, and composite decking that require minimal upkeep. Now you can spend less time scrubbing and more time perfecting your backstroke.

While we can’t help you install a pool, we can help you get your home ready for a quick, profitable sale. And our design team can help you make the home you live in a showplace (even without a pool).

November is Home Staging Awareness Month

November is Home Staging Awareness Month, this is a month where the Real Estate Staging Association (RESA), NAR, professional home stagers, real estate agents and other industry professionals raise awareness about the benefits of working with a home stager.

Home staging is the preparation and presentation of a home to make it look its best and appear move-in-ready to the largest pool of potential buyers. Along with professional real estate photos, it is one of the best ways to market the property for sale. Staging is not decorating, it’s proven and applied market research on what makes your house feel like a buyer’s dream home.

NAR Home Staging Profile 2021

Typically, when we use the term “staging” it refers to furnishing a home. However, decluttering, and other minor improvements are usually prep work and part of the gig too. Depersonalizing a space is key. Staging transforms plain painted box-rooms into realistic and inspiring home environments. Most importantly, specifics used by a professional home stager will show a home isn’t just a collection of empty rooms, it’s a comforting and warm lifestyle waiting to happen.

Home staging benefits both buyers and sellers (and of course, the agent as well). It helps potential buyers to visualize themselves living in the home, as well as overlook flaws. For sellers, staged homes sell faster, better terms, and for more money. Staging a property has a remarkable impact on a buyer’s choice to see a property in person, which would ultimately lead to a great offer. Also, it is key to letting your sellers know that you work with a company that has a well-known track record. Impact Home Staging Experts has been practicing this art and science since 2004, and we are dedicated to getting it right every time.

Professional staging is your secret weapon, and one you should always rely on. We want to be real estate agent’s go-to. Our goal is to elevate not only the value of the property but elevate the agent’s value and brand. According to the National Association of REALTORS®, 82% of buyers’ agents report that professional staging helps clients visualize a home as their own. 99% of millennials start their home search online, so it’s more critical than ever that sellers make a positive and lasting impression.

Why choose Impact?!

When you decide to sell your home, the stress of preparing it for sale can be overwhelming and chaotic. As proven by NAR statistics, the right furniture lay outs, windows, and art can increase the sales price of the home – but how do you choose? How do you see the home you’ve live in any different? One of the crazy truths of the real estate is that furniture lay outs and color pallets do make a difference. But you will already have enough on your plate, you shouldn’t have to guess at what that difference will be.

That’s where we come in, and are happy to help. We have an amazing and dedicated team of stagers, logistics, and customer service. Our quotes are always free, and we look forward to working with you!

What in the Housing Market is Going on?!

For the first time since June of 2019, inventory of homes for sale sees growth!

According to http://realtors.com May housing data, the inventory of homes for sale has seen an increase of 8.0%. This is a major turning point for the housing market at a national level. On the other side of the coin, the total number of unsold homes nationwide (various stages of the selling process that are not yet sold) was still down 3.9% percent from May 2021. Although, this has improved from last month’s 10.1% decline.  

This doesn’t mean this hot market is cold (yet)! There are still only half as many homes available, but we are noticing more and more new listings entering the market on a regular basis. Housing remains incredibly expensive and fast-paced with the median asking price at a new high while time on market is at a new low. Because we are the experts, we are speaking from real life experience people! Impact Home Staging Experts, Oakland County and Wayne County is booming! We have seen an uptick in jobs, higher than pre-pandemic!

If you’re thinking of buying or selling a house, you’re at an exciting and nerve-wracking decision. When it comes to a big decision like that, timing is everything. So, what does the rest of the year hold for the housing market? As we already touched on, the number of homes available for sale is likely to continue to grow. There are early signs housing inventory is starting to grow and experts say that should continue in the months ahead.

From the Expert

According to Chief Economist at realtor.com:

“The gap between this year’s homes for sale and last year’s is one-fifth the size that it was at the beginning of the year. The catch up is likely to continue, . . . This growth will mean more options for shoppers than they’ve had in a while, even though inventory continues to lag pre-pandemic normal.”

Keeping Current Matters

As a seller, your house will be facing more competition when other sellers list their homes. This means you REALLY need to prepare for the sale of your home. You’re not the only kid on the block, and buyers have more options. Buyers are getting smarter. The market is changing. In order to achieve a profitable sale, you need to merchandise the home like it is the best product on the block. You MUST stand out to get that high-offer you’re after. But I guess the good news is, if you’re also a buyer, having more options to choose from should make that move-up process easier.

“Do not wait to stage. This is the worst time for you to list your home and ‘see how it goes first’ – its not an option anymore. You must stage to get that top dollar offer. The market is changing”

Darla Rowley, Impact Home Staging Experts

What Role Does Staging Play in This Shift?

Staging is about showcasing an engaging, move-in ready home that creates an emotional connection with the largest pool of potential buyers. Everyone knows that your home is only worth what a buyer is willing to pay and even in a seller’s market, there are going to be flaws and other variables in each area. But, now that we are seeing as change in inventory supply, it may not be overnight, but a change is happening.

In a red hot market buyers market? Buyers can be picky, focusing on the hot property of the week and ignoring the others. So you want your property to be the hot one, with buyers going crazy to “out offer” each other. The better your home shows, the more it will sell for and no matter what the market, everyone likes more money.

“In every market, every seller wants the most Money for their home.”

Calling All Agents!

For Realtors,  Your professional Home Stager is your key to keeping your commissions. At Impact Home Staging Experts, we say NO! to discounted commissions. Adding more service is the key to working smarter, not harder. And because your listings will look better and sell faster, you will become the “go to” top producing agent in the neighborhood which will increase your number of referrals!

More competition means more agents will be looking for ways to get the listings. Some will use discounted commissions as a way to attract business. How will you compete with these discount agents? Will you reduce your commissions or will you find ways to add value? We hope your answer is adding value by adding professional home staging as a key tool.
