Video: Infusion Home Design Before/After Todd House La Mesa Staging and Listing

Sep 16, 2019

The beautiful “Todd House”, a historic home in La Mesa, CA., is going on the market. Only 3 owners outside the Todd family have lived in this Prairie style home since it was built in 1911. Cynthia Lingg and Michelle Park, real estate agents and Infusion Home Design stagers, have staged the property to list with their deep inventory of furniture and decor, as well as their expert knowledge of living spaces and realty.

Having recently moved under the umbrella of Big Block Realty brokers, Cynthia and Michelle (“the Lingg Team”) can now merge their staging and real estate listings into the same effort. With years of both listing and staging experience, they know which cosmetic renovations are worth the investment for the greatest return for a property listing. And they have relationships with vetted contractors and tradespeople ready to work.

Notice the details – even the bathroom soap is “thought out”, to help a potential buyer really see themselves and feel comfortable in this unfamiliar but beautiful space.

Watch the before / after video (and listen for the hummingbirds picked up during the garden interview!)

Jun 24, 2019

Infusion Home Design can stage with YOUR furniture and decor — what we call a “fluff stage”. In this Mt Helix home we rearranged some of the owner’s decor, brought in some extra staging pieces from our own inventory, recommended what to repaint and what to leave… a mix of expert services only we provide! Notice in the last BEFORE/AFTER segment all we had to do was reposition the owner’s furniture to make that gorgeous picture window and view more accessible — a simple change that completely changed the appeal of the room.

Infusion Home Design recently prepared a home to list in the Bay Ho neighborhood of San Diego. The team completed what we call a “fluff/stage”. A fluff/stage mixes the homeowner’s furniture and decor with pieces from IHD’s vast staging inventory. What are the benefits of a fluff/stage? Homeowners don’t have to move everything out during the listing, the price can be less than a full stage, and you are still getting full sales value from our expert staging and decorating!

Real estate staging has a cost, but did you know it can SAVE you money?

At Infusion Home Design we see it all the time. Staging helps sell a property more quickly* (this week we sold a staged home in 4 days!), and we all know time is money. Use the Real Estate Staging Association calculator link below to see how much money you might SAVE by staging your property.

San Diego Stagers Transform Beach House: Before & After

At Infusion Home Design we love nothing more than to take a property that isn’t living up to its potential and make it shine. We study current conditions, bring possibilities and budget in line, and work to transform a place from Beast to Beauty.

Recently we were asked to help renovate a San Diego beach house slated for seasonal rentals. We knew that the success of the rental would be linked to the property’s comfort and beauty.

We felt that the house had “good bones”. The structure and living space made sense, but Time had taken a nasty toll on both freshness and style.

Cynthia knew, as an experienced realtor, that the curb appeal had to be fixed. Old windows were replaced with new double glazed ones, stucco was repaired, modern light sconces were installed, plants and planters were replaced, and a fresh coat of colors completed the outer transformation.

After

Inside, the kitchen was the most spectacular change. Though the layout stayed the same, Cynthia and the team transformed the look and feel of the kitchen (and saved money) by keeping and renovating the cupboards. They replaced wall and countertop tiling, chose new laminate flooring that would stand up to sandy feet, replaced out of date windows and appliances, and added modern lighting.

You will notice the power of color in all of IHD’s work. Cynthia is an expert colorist and can multiply the effects of staging choices by using the right color combinations. (Curious about color? Start with this article: Why Color Matters)

All of these decisions were calculated and made with owner-investment and return in mind. Our job was to use the budget in the best possible way, to attract and please renters, and create a profitable project for our client.

Renovation projects are not common for us, but they require the same skills and considerations we apply to real estate staging. Do you need help preparing your property? Contact us today. We stage, we list, we sell!

We are Vegan San Diego Stagers

Apr 1, 2019

Infusion Home Design is proud to let our customers know that we are vegan real estate stagers. Our founder, Cynthia Lingg, is a longstanding animal-rights supporter and a vegan. She finds it important that her business model aligns with her personal values, and this adds positive energy to all of our San Diego staging projects.

What is a vegan? You may be familiar with veganism as it pertains to diet, but it can also extend to the use of animal products in other facets of life. Veganism is “abstaining from the use of animal products”, particularly in diet, but also a rejection of the “commodity status of animals”. We choose not to use leather, fur, wool, silk or other animal products in our project decor. The harmony we feel as a part of our work process is undeniably a part of our success in staging.

Do you have to be a vegan too to use our services? Absolutely not. Just leave the staging to us and we’ll do the rest.

Will it cost you more for a vegan stage? Not at all. We have simply made conscious choices in building our vegan staging inventory and our choices benefit your real estate project.

IHD believes that a vegan staged home can be just as stunning as, and increase sales potential as well or better than, any non-vegan project.

Please feel free to contact us about our vegan choices or any of your real estate and staging needs.
